Programme Coordinator - DRC

General context of the project

The humanitarian situation in the DRC remains complex and has deteriorated overall in recent years. It is made up of multiple, overlapping crises, particularly in the country's eastern provinces, which face endemic violence and armed conflict. Insecurity has led to repeated mass population displacements. The impact of violence on civilians is a major concern, with regular violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, including targeted attacks on civilians and a high prevalence of gender-based violence.

INTERSOS has been present in the DRC since 2010 and is currently working in Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu and Haut-Uele through protection programs, including protection monitoring in partnership with Fonds Humanitaire and UNHCR, as well as nutrition programs in partnership with WFP and UNICEF.
