Danish Refugee Council har ansökt till Sida för finansiellt stöd om 75 miljoner SEK för att genomföra programmet "Early Recovery with Crisis-Affected Communities" i östra DR Kongo (Ituri, Nordkivu och Tanganyika) under perioden 2020-2022. Insatsen har som målsättning att stärka motståndskraften i konfliktdrabbade samhälle i Östra DR Kongo. Genom ett multi-sektoriellt arbetssätt avser man öka tillgång till inkomst, bygga tillbaka infrastruktur som gör det möjligt att tillhandahålla samhällstjänster samt förbättra skydd av befolkningen. För att uppnå detta mål ämnar de uppnå ett antal resultat nämligen 1) Stärka samhällets kapacitet att kunna identifiera och lösa skyddsfrågor, inklusive barnskyddsfrågor; 2) Stödja sårbara familjers möjlighet till att återuppta ekonomisk, inkomstbringande verksamhet för att minska beroende på bistånd och externt stöd 3) Stödja internflyktingar, värdfamiljer och andra utsatta, sårbara gruppers kapacitet att gemensamt skapa fredliga samhälle med ett välutvecklat fungerande socialt samspel; och 4) Förbättra konfliktkänslighet och ansvarstagande i pågående respons till akuta kriser och återhämtningsprocesser. Konflikterna i östra DR Kongo har förstört infrastruktur och människors möjlighet att försörja sig. Brist på infrastruktur och risker vad gäller säkerhet gör att få utvecklingsaktörer investerar i dessa provinser. Danish Refugee Council föreslår att arbeta med en återhämtningsmetodik för att adressera de gap som uppstår mellan humanitärt stöd och utvecklingsarbete. Återhämtning syftar till att, efter den första humanitära fasen, bygga upp samhällsstrukturer, utöka tillgång till samhällstjänster samt bygga kapacitet för att lösa de långvariga problemen som bidragit till krisen och på så sätt stärka motståndskraften i samhället och möjliggöra för utvecklingsaktörer att investera i det utsatta området. Danish Refugee Council kommer att genomföra insatsen tillsammans med Concern Worldwide. Av den totala budgeten på 75 miljoner SEK kommer cirka 45 procent att överföras från Danish Refugee Council till Concern Worldwide. Den svenska strategin syftar till att öka motståndskraft och stärka kapacitet hos drabbade lokalsamhällen och marginaliserade grupper för att förebygga och hantera återkommande konflikter och kriser samt tillgodogöra sig grundläggande, hållbara samhällstjänster och produktiv sysselsättning. Riskerna som finns i det kongolesiska samhället slår olika mot marginaliserade och sårbara grupper. Detta projekt kommer att bidra till att skydda dessa grupper och individer samtidigt som det visar på ett tydligt samband mellan humanitära skyddsfrågor och mer långsiktiga, hållbara lösningar för utveckling, fred och mänskliga rättigheter.

A number of results have been achieved this year. The biggest being the simultaneous launch of multiple interventions in different provinces which tested the capacities of the partner organisations to be agile and respond quickly. New interventions were launched in Nyunzu in Tanganyika (for return movements) and in Mweso (ongoing violent attacks that destabilize villages) and Mabalako-Mangina (frequent IDP movements) areas in North-Kivu. An important lesson in this process has been that when providing early recovery support in area of conflict or high numbers of IDPs and returns the intervention has development objectives but with a speed of delivery that corresponds to humanitarian interventions. This stretches the human resource and logistical capacities. The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) and Concern are not the only partner referring to the difficulty in procuring services with regard to construction or WASH installations. Similarly, road conditions to these areas are often deplorable and delays are to be expected in the delivery of supplies procured. These challenges, while causing delays in implementation, are also the reason why these areas have been chosen for implementation. They are the hardest to reach and in most need. Against the background of this challenge a number of important results have been achieved. (1) 100% of the schools surveyed have basic hygiene and sanitation services following implementation of WASH structures (2) 99.6% of the people surveyed know three of the five critical moments for hand washing having received hygiene sensitizations (3) 92% of respondents know the three causes of diarrhea and three ways to prevent it. (4) The overall average gender role attitude (GRA) score is 6.77 (a score of 0 indicates very negative attitudes and 10 very positive), an improvement compared to the baseline score of 4.56 following gender transformative trainings. (5) The overall mean score for household financial decision-making is 1.18 (a score of 10 shows complete male dominance, 0 is shared decision making between men and women, and -10 is complete female dominance in financial decision making in the household). The beneficiaries are closer to shared financial decision-making in the household compared to the score of 2.26 at baseline. (6) 100% of respondents have Income generating activities (IGAs) and 100% of respondents reported being able to meet the basic needs of their households following IGA trainings and cash assistance to meet their basic needs and grow their IGA. (7) 90% of the community structures targeted for revitalization have been constructed/rehabilitated and supplied with furniture and supplies. (8) For Beni area, 100% of the members said structures have been trained in their respective roles and responsibilities in implementing the communal protection policy, and 92% of them have been trained in protection. (9) All unaccompanied minors identified (100) have been welcomed by a transitional host family (FAT), have received food assistance and are having their families traced for family reunification. (10) 99% of beneficiaries targeted for the permagarden activities (248 out of 250) in Beni area have been trained in the advantages of permaculture, in how to set up a permagarden, the manufacturing and usage of bio-pesticides, and has received seeds and tools. (11) A total of 1,441 persons, of which 93% are women, have benefited from DRCs support for the creation of permagardens, VSLAs, agricultural cooperatives and nutritional initiatives The narrative report provided by DRC refers to challenges in bridging relations between beneficiaries and host communities, including ensuring communities trust in the members of the local committees. This lack of trust comes from the fact that some community leaders were inviting close relations and acquaintances to community meetings and in other instances women were being excluded. This is a reflection of the challenges faced by many partners when implementing projects and is also something that is frequently observed by the embassy during field visits. It is addressed through a presence by the NGOs in the field which builds a trust with the population and enables the pertner prganisations to know who is who and how to manage membership in groups. It seems that many beneficiaries seem unaware of the scope of the project, questioning the locations in which the project is being implemented. The Embassy has engaged in conversation with the partner organisations on the importance of accountability to affected populations and how this can be implemented in practice.
The main objective of the project Early Recovery with Crisis-Affected Communities is to reinforce resilience mechanisms of conflict affected populations through the provision of services, protection and livelihoods with the aim to support a life with dignity in the face of recurrent shocks. Result 1: Community capacities are reinforced to identify and respond to protection issues, including child protection cases. Result 2: Vulnerable families are able to restart their economic activities and become increasingly self-reliant Result 3: Host communities and displaced persons, and diverse social groups are supported to build collective resilience and live peacefully with one another Result 4: Conflict sensitivity and accountability processes are improved in RRM and Early Recovery responses To achieve these results, the Danish Refugee Council will implement an early recovery approach which means that they will build resilience of individuals and strengthen community capacities to withstand recurring shocks. The project will aim to build community protection mechanisms, increase access to basic services like WASH, education and child protection and increase families access to income and basic needs. The targeted geographical areas are located in the DR Congo's most conflict affected provinces. In Ituri, key identified needs include response for basic-needs, reinforced community protection mechanisms, and improved child protection activities. In North Kivu, conflict causes grave protection concerns and despite its natural fertility there are significant food security concerns across the province. Sexual violence continues to be one of the most notable human rights violations in Nord-Kivu. In Tanganyika, conflict and displacement due to community tensions, food security, and WASH needs are stretching existing response capacities. In response to these multiple crises, humanitarian actors unite to provide assistance through a Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM). RRM interventions aim to be rapid, flexible and provide short-term life saving activities. The short term nature of this response modality does not allow it to address gaps in terms of protection, conflict sensitivity and social cohesion. Furthermore, the RRM does not address the fact that after a rapid response intervention humanitarian needs remain since no linkages are made with development actors. In this project, the Danish Refugee Council will work with displacement-affected communities to provide a second wave of service provision and assistance after the departure of the humanitarian actors. This phase of interventions will last 6-9 months on average, increasing local capacities for protection, develop capacity for self reliance and sustainable livelihoods and top up on gaps in the RRM interventions. Collectively, this phase of support aims to build community resilience. In addition, the extended presence in communities of intervention will allow greater focus on accountability to affected populations, conflict sensitivity, social cohesion and a consistent gender perspective to promote womens and girls participation and leadership and transformation of entrenched and harmful gender norms.
