The mission
Solidarités International has been intervening in the DRC since 2001, in order to meet the humanitarian needs of the populations impacted by conflicts and natural disasters and to participate in the fight against epidemics.
The mission is active in the fields of food security and existence (Same), hygiene and sanitation water (EHA), and assistance in multisectoral monetary transfers (direct cash or coupons). Each of our activities include a strong protection component (transverse or “stand alone” via an implementation partner).
Our programs cover the emergency response, via quick response programs (RRM) and “second line”. However, they also include raising and development activities in stabilized areas. This approach illustrates the strategy chosen by the mission, namely the maintenance of a strong capacity for an emergency response while developing lasting solutions to the problems which affect the populations of the eastern country.
The mission has been made up of delocalized coordination since the advent of the M23 crisis in Bunia and three operational bases located in the Petit Nord Kivu (Goma, with a sub-base in Kiwandja), in the Far North Kivu (Beni with a base in Nobili) and in Ituri (Bunia, with a sub-base in Fataki). As part of our multi -year strategy, we have the ambition to open new bases and develop our programmatic portofolio.
The operational area of the Petit Nord Kivu participates in this growth dynamic, in connection with the national coordination. Indeed, the field teams implement various projects (emergency, raising and development) while conducting multisectoral assessments in order to obtain additional funding and to continue supporting vulnerable populations. Currently, the base is funded by the following donors: DDC, CDCS, Echo and Fcdo. It should also be mentioned that a multisectoral emergency assistance project with internal displaced and returned populations of the M23 crisis in the territories of Rutshuru and Lubero is implemented.
