General Before the war of 2020, drought-prone Eastern Tigray was already chronically food insecure with severely constrained livelihood options. Crop production covered only a quarter of poorer households' food needs, and cash income opportunities were few. The devastating violent conflict came on top of the extreme drought in 2019 and the locust invasion and Covid-19 restrictions in 2020. The WFP FEWS network has labeled the food situation in Tigray in February 2022 as ‘famine’ (phase 5). This program, carried out in the immediate aftermath – or even in a latent context – of severe…

Mining activity that is anything but sustainable Unfortunately, that wealth of natural resources is giving rise to bloody conflicts, in eastern Congo in particular. What is more, too little of the profits flow back to the Congo itself. In addition to larger mining companies that are still making some attempts to carry out their mining operations in a more sustainable manner, there are also countless – self-employed – artisanal miners. In the majority of cases, they extract the minerals in a careless way, as a result of which the water, soil and air in the wider area have…

General Het gebrek aan water- en sanitatie infrastructuur in Mozambique kost tot 4 miljard Metical per jaar, voornamelijk door voortijdige sterfte, medische kosten en het verlies aan productiviteit. Vrouwen, die taken rond water in het huishouden opnemen, worden bijzonder hard getroffen. Het programma van RKV beoogt daarom om 4.000 gezinnen in de districten Inhassoro en Vilancos, binnen de Inhambane provincie, te voorzien van voldoende en veilige water- en sanitatievoorzieningen. Dit doen we door het bouwen/rehabiliteren van 14 waterpunten binnen de interventiezone, waarmee 7.000 directe…
