Stabilization of post-conflict areas in DRC – joint WFP-FAO resilience building
Attachments
Download document Since 2009, WFP has worked together with FAO to strengthen the resilience of communities in fragile states by reviving agricultural production and commodity markets that have been damaged by years of armed conflict.
The pilot phase started in Kabalo in Tanganyika province and Bikoro and Ingende in Equateur province, before expanding its geographical coverage to North and South Kivu, and eventually to North and South Ubangi. The initial Belgian and Swedish funding in DRC, followed by multi-year grants from Canada and Germany, have allowed the expansion of the initiative to new zones.
Currently, the joint WFP-FAO resilience programme in DRC targets 103,500 households in the provinces of Tanganyika, North Kivu, South Kivu, North Ubangi and South Ubangi.
The resilience programme in DRC follows on approach based on the triple nexus (humanitarian - development - peace) promoting links between humanitarian action, recovery, and development, laying the foundation for achieving sustainable results.
