The DRC has endured three decades of recurring crises, including armed conflicts, rebellions and community conflicts, leading to increased violence, widespread insecurity and mass displacement of populations. The eastern provinces of the country are particularly affected by these crises, which compromise livelihoods and social cohesion and make the affected populations vulnerable. This vulnerability is exacerbated by the climate crisis and its effects, which affect livelihoods and influence the dynamics of tensions and conflicts.
