OIM: Assistance aux populations déplacées dans le Nord-Kivu, DRC, par la gestion et la coordination des sites

15.06.2013 - 14.06.2014

Suite aux différentes crises sécuritaires qui ont secoué l’Est de la RDC, et plus particulièrement le Nord Kivu ces dernières années, et en raison des menaces constantes d’insécurité qui pèsent encore sur la région, les camps et sites de Personnes Déplacées Internes (PDIs) accueillent toujours plus de 375 000 personnes dans cette Province. Les sites de déplacés du Masisi reçoivent moins d’attention et l’aide humanitaire n’est pas suffisamment coordonnée en raison de l’accès plus difficile de ce territoire. Le financement de la DDC permettra de soutenir la mise en œuvre immédiate d’un système de gestion des sites spontanés dans la région du Masisi.
