The expected impact of the program is to reduce the vulnerability of households affected by conflict and shocks in the Democratic Republic of Congo, with the specific outcome of providing a coordinated humanitarian response that enables at least 48,174 vulnerable people in South Kivu and Maniema (for ACTED) affected by conflict and shocks to have safe and equitable access to multi-sectoral emergency aid and to reduce negative coping mechanisms. ACTED will assist vulnerable people through multi-purpose cash transfers.
