A· E DEPUTY· E DIRECTOR· RICE COUNTRY – PROGRAMMES

Your work environment

Action Against Hunger has been working in the DRC since 1997 with programmes in nutrition-health, food security and livelihoods, and WASH. ACF implements emergency and development intervention programs to reduce morbidity and mortality due to malnutrition. Multisectoral approaches integrating nutrition and WASH in line with the national strategy are being implemented in 6 provinces.

One of ACF’s main areas of expertise in the DRC is the rapid response to nutrition crises, operational since 2008 with the financial support of donors such as UNICEF, ECHO and DFID. Through several years of deploying its emergency pool via DFID-funded PUNC and ECHO-funded RRCN, we have gained extensive experience in rapid deployments and effective monitoring of life-saving treatments in emergency situations. Since 2008, more than 100 nutrition surveys and more than 60,000 malnourished children have been treated through ACF’s emergency response teams. Over the past four years, ACF has carried out more than 35 rapid response interventions across the country, including the provinces of Kasai Central and Oriental, Sankuru, Kwilu, Kwangu, Equateur, Tshuapa, Maniema and Tanganyka. ACF is currently operating in the provinces of North and South Kivu, Kasai and Kasai Central.
