Overall analysis of the programme

During the past two years, the various components of the Red Cross Movement provided technical, logistical and financial support to build the capacities of Congolese Red Cross ¹ in various domains, including emergency relief, management, the fight against recurrent diseases and the acquisition of materials (data processing, audiovisual, didactic, hygiene and sanitation equipment, and vehicles).

In 2004, Congolese Red Cross carried out activities to complement what had been started in 2003. The main activities for 2004 were as follows:

- AIDS control in Brazzaville and Pointe-Noire;

- Fight against the Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever in Cuvette-Ouest;

- Organisational development of Congolese Red Cross;

- Promotion of humanitarian values.

The Congolese Red Cross has been associated in all the activities coordinated by the Ministry of Health.

The various activities yielded a positive impact on the Congolese populations as a whole, and more specifically on vulnerable people. They also contributed to building the capacities of the national society.

While some activities of Congolese Red Cross were financed by its traditional donors (Federation, ICRC and the Spanish Red Cross), others were financed by the national society itself.

The end-of-mission of the regional organizational development delegate (September 2004) halted the process to restructure Congolese Red Cross local committees.
