DRC faces a chronic humanitarian crisis, which needs to be addressed by the right mix of humanitarian and development work. The sectors are currently very poorly coordinated, and more needs to be done to ensure that effective and longer term responses to chronic need are put in place. UK is leading the way in DRC. This paper lists suggested recommendations for dealing with DRC’s chronic humanitarian crisis in a way which builds resilience.
