The expected impact of the programme is to reduce the vulnerability of households affected by conflict and shocks in Democratic Republic of Congo, with a specific outcome to deliver a coordinated humanitarian response that enables at least 561,409 vulnerable people affected by conflict and shocks to have safe and equitable access to multi-sectoral emergency assistance and reduce negative coping mechanisms. The proposed intervention is in line with the priorities of the Humanitarian Response Plan 2020 and its second strategic objective: the living conditions of the most vulnerable people affected by the loss of assets and livelihoods and/or with limited access to essential services are improved.
