FAO receives USD 10 million from the Humanitarian Fund in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to save lives and protect livelihoods in the East of the country

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has received USD 10 million in funding from the Democratic Republic of the Congo Humanitarian Fund (DRC HF) to provide emergency assistance to the most vulnerable households in the provinces of North Kivu, South Kivu, Ituri and Tanganyika.

Against a backdrop of persistent food crisis, this intervention saves lives by enabling households to meet their immediate food needs and preventing a rapid deterioration of hunger in the most affected areas.
