The mission<\/p>\n
Solidarit\u00e9s International has been operating in the DRC since 2001, in order to respond to the humanitarian needs of populations impacted by conflicts and natural disasters and to participate in the fight against epidemics. It is currently the organization’s third largest mission in terms of financial volume.<\/p>\n
The mission is active in the areas of food security and livelihoods (SAME), water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH), and assistance in multi-sector monetary transfers (direct cash or fairs via the Red tool Pink). Each of our activities includes a strong Protection component (transversal or \u201cstand alone\u201d via an implementation partner).
\nOur programs cover emergency response, through rapid response (RRM) and \u201csecond line\u201d programs. However, they also include recovery and development activities in stabilized areas. This approach illustrates the strategy chosen by the mission, namely maintaining a strong emergency response capacity while developing lasting solutions to the problems affecting the populations of the east of the country.
\nThe mission is made up of a coordination based in Goma and three operational bases located in Little North Kivu (Goma, with a sub-base in Kiwandja), in Great North Kivu (Beni, with a prospect of opening Sub-base -base in Kamango) and in Ituri (Bunia, with a sub-base in Fataki). As part of our multi-year strategy, we aim to open new bases and develop our programmatic portfolio. The financial volume of the mission is currently at 19 million euros, with an objective of progression during the year 2024.<\/p>\n
