Resumen
Descripción
The Democratic Republic of the Congo continues to face one of the world’s most severe food crises. Insecurity, flooding and the impact of the lean season are driving large-scale displacement, including of many farmers. As a result, planting seasons are missed and harvests lost, reducing food availability and forcing households to increasingly adopt negative coping mechanisms. The Government of the Kingdom of Belgium contributed USD 800 000 to FAO, through SFERA, to reach 1 500 vulnerable households. Support will mainly focus on the provision of highly nutritious crop seeds and breeding hens to increase access to quality animal-sourced foods, alongside cash assistance to protect productive assets.
