Online Support For DRC Organizations 在线支持刚果民主共和国组织
This month, the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, and the Eastern Congo Initiative released an online video series detailing a database of community-based organizations located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
The database is a searchable online tool, first made available in 2012, that assists aid agencies and philanthropists in identifying and directly connecting with community-based organizations that provide vital resources to populations in Eastern Congo.
"Data-driven insights are critical to creating effective and efficient partnerships 1,” said USAID’s Acting 2 Director for the Office of Innovation and Development Alliances Ricardo Michel. “We are pleased to recognize organizations like the Eastern Congo Initiative that are leveraging 3 technology in the service of international development and working to increase access to information that will lead to more informed funding and programming decisions.”
In the DRC, one of the principal obstacles to delivering effective support to community-based organizations is the “information gap,” a lack of precise information about these organizations and their capacity to meet the most pressing needs of their communities. In response to the challenge, and with the support of USAID, the Eastern Congo Initiative conducted a landscape analysis of community-based organizations across Maniema, Orientale, North Kivu and South Kivu provinces.
The result is a report and online database that gives policy leaders, investors 4 and analysts 5 insights into the work being done to create sustainable and successful change in Eastern Congo.
The ECI analysis found many capable community-based organizations face serious challenges in getting the support they need. The online database will help these organizations and donors 7 to overcome these challenges by simplifying the funding chain and shining a light on those organizations that work to address the structural 8 and cultural roots of the problems in Eastern Congo.
“Through the database and the landscape analysis, USAID and ECI have laid the groundwork for augmenting 9 foreign assistance in Eastern Congo,” said USAID’s Global Partnerships Division Director Christopher Jurgens. “Serving as a model of strategic investment in the region, the partnership’s assessment 10 will shape future engagement and elevate awareness 11 and commitment to the region within international development and donor 6 communities.”
