Democratic Republic of Congo

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is the largest country in Sub-Saharan Africa. The country has a population of over 100 million and faces a high level of inequality. The country experiences significant challenges related to poverty, food insecurity, and health issues. Oxfam plays a crucial role in addressing these issues, instigating humanitarian, development, and advocacy initiatives.

Oxfam started operations in DRC in 1961. We continue to prioritize water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), food security, and protection. By collaborating with local partners and communities, we aim to strengthen resilience and support individuals to advocate for their rights. Oxfam’s integrated approach combines immediate assistance with sustainable development strategies, positioning us to leverage opportunities for growth while responding to urgent needs.
