ACT Appeal

Democratic Republic of the Congo - AFDC31, REVISION 1

Relief & Rehabilitation

Geneva, 3 July, 2003

Appeal Target: US$ 2,938,602

Balance Requested from ACT Network: US$ 2,564,143

On 5 March 2003, Appeal AFDC-31 for Relief and Rehabilitation for the eastern area of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) was issued. It included proposals from ACT members in the area including the Lutheran World Federation/World Service (LWF/WS), together with its implementing partners, the Church of Christ in the Congo (ECC) proposing emergency and rehabilitation assistance focusing on Beni and Goma in North Kivu Province.

As a result of renewed fighting between ethnic groups in Ituri, a second wave of thousands continue to flee resulting in huge numbers of internally displaced persons (IDPs) arriving in the area of Beni. LWF together with the ECC carried out an assessment in Beni and the surrounding areas from 20 to 22 May 2003 to assess and update the humanitarian situation. Twenty thousand IDPs were registered at one registration station during one week, and the number rose to 60,000 within four weeks. As a large majority of the first wave of IDPs that arrived in the Beni area in 2002 remained, it is estimated that with the second wave of IDPs, the total number of IDPs could exceed 400,000.

As the emergency situation requires a quick response, LWF is therefore proposing a revision of its components in the Beni section of the AFDC-31 Appeal. The revision has maintained the same sectors of intervention but has increased the level of assistance so that LWF with the ECC church network in Beni can assist larger numbers of IDPs than originally foreseen. The project completion date also will be extended until 28 February 2004.

For the sake of brevity this revision includes the LWF/WS revised proposal only. Please refer to the original appeal for information on the other programmes which remain unchanged.
