What works in Congo (the Democratic Republic of the)

The evidence shows four distinct humanitarian and development interventions operating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. CDR-Triggered Mobile Money dramatically reduced emergency cash delivery time from ~100 days to under 10 days in eastern DRC, reaching 5,600+ displaced people across 8 armed-attack events over five months. Instant Network Schools operates 28 centres across the DRC (part of a 164-centre, 6-country programme), delivering digital learning to refugees and host-community students with measured increases of 61% in student ICT literacy and 125% in teacher ICT literacy programme-wide. Panzi Hospital's One-Stop Centre Model in Bukavu treated 48,482 women for extreme sexual violence between 1999 and 2015, integrating medical, psychosocial, legal and socio-economic support at a single site. The evidence demonstrates responses to displacement crises, educational access gaps, and sexual violence, though most quantified outcomes are either programme-wide across multiple countries or time-limited to specific evaluation periods.
