Democratic Republic of the Congo

164 districts with published data·Fetched: 2026-09-20

The main finding

In 98 of the 162 districts where people are recorded in food crisis, at most one organisation is listed. The largest is ⁨Shabunda (Sud-Kivu)⁩, where 305,083 people are in food crisis and one organisation is listed.

Shabunda·Thin coverage

The operational presence dataset lists organisations that reported activity through a country's coordination structures. Reporting is voluntary and incomplete, and small local organisations are the least likely to appear. A district showing few or no organisations may be well served by groups that never report. Please use the correction and declaration forms to tell us what we are missing.

The ten districts with the thinnest coverage

The table below gives the same figures as text.

National and local share by admin 1 region

Counted over district listings, so an organisation listed in three districts counts three times. Only regions with at least 5 listings whose organisation type is published are shown.

Thin coverage

Districts ranked by gap score: people in food crisis divided by the number of listed organisations plus one. A high score means a lot of recorded need and very few organisations listed.

Absence from a dataset is not absence on the ground. The main finding
