Farm Radio International has a network of more than 1,300 radio partners across sub-Saharan Africa, who are supported with information and training resources, services, and opportunities to improve the quality and quantity of radio programming for rural audiences. One of these resources is Barza Wire, an online news service sharing stories about rural communities and small-scale farmers in Africa, published bi-weekly. Each edition shares 3 news stories (500-700 words), which are written by freelance journalists from across Africa. Barza Wire is published at wire.farmradio.fm and is shared by email with more than 7,000 subscribers.

We strive to represent the voices of women and men.

Œuvrant aux côtés des personnes handicapées et vulnérabilisées, elle agit et témoigne pour répondre à leurs besoins essentiels et améliorer leurs conditions de vie.

INFORMATIONS SUR LE CONTEXTE
La RDC subit une instabilité chronique depuis la fin des années 1990, liée à des problèmes de gouvernance interne et sa proximité avec des pays ayant connu des crises majeures. Du fait de la fragilité des institutions, pour l’ensemble de la population congolaise, estimée entre 100 et 120 millions d’habitants, l’accès à des services sociaux de qualité reste un défi majeur.
La RDC connait un grand défi de la gouvernance des ressources qui a un grand impact sur la gestion des risques des catastrophes. Du fait, quand un évènement se réalise, la réponse du gouvernement souvent n’arrive pas à répondre à tous les besoins, et cela reste un défi majeur pour la population.
L’Est de la RDC est le théâtre d’une crise chronique depuis de plus de 20 ans. L’instabilité y est permanente et les groupes armés y sont nombreux. Les acteurs humanitaires interviennent dans la zone depuis de nombreuses années, y mélangeant des approches urgences, transition / résilience et essayant d’assurer un certain développement / stabilisation.
Depuis octobre 2022, la situation sécuritaire s’est gravement détériorée avec la reprise des combats entre les éléments du M23 et ceux des Forces Armes de la République Démocratique du Congo (FARDC).
L’accès humanitaire à ces populations en situation d’urgence est un défi permanent, à la fois à cause de l’insécurité chronique, et à cause des contraintes d’accès logistiques (pistes et routes très dégradées, glissements de terrain réguliers, zones inondées).
PRESENTATION DE LA MISSION
En réponse aux besoins et dans le cadre de son expertise technique, HI intervient en RDC depuis 1995 dans de nombreux secteurs et est un acteur reconnu dans l’assistance humanitaire et le domaine logistique .
A Kinshasa sont mis en place des projets pluriannuels de développement sur les thématiques de la Réadaptation Physique et Fonctionnelle, de la Santé Maternelle et Infantile, l’Education Inclusive et la Gouvernance Inclusive.
Au Kasaï et au Kasaï Central, initialement engagé dans des activités de développement HI est intervenu depuis la crise de 2016 sur des projets de Sécurité Alimentaire (modalité Cash puis soutien à la production agricole) et actuellement intervient dans deux projets d’inclusion et d’éducation inclusive.
Au Nord-Kivu, à ce jour, la base de Goma met en œuvre 6 projets :
Deux projets de clinique mobile en santé mentale et Soutien Psychosocial avec un volet READ,
Un projet de réhabilitation routières à Mweso ;
Un projet dans le domaine de la protection communautaire, de la réponse d’urgence en santé mental et distribution de kit à Mweso ;
Un projet Plateforme Logistique et Stockage en offrant un service aux acteurs humanitaires ;
Un projet de réadaptation intégrée avec la thérapie de stimulation dans la zone de santé de Mweso
HI a revu sa stratégie pluriannuelle pour la RDC en 2022. Il en ressort une volonté de diversification des activités à l’Est de la RDC et de croissance en termes de volume.
L’année 2024 et 2025 seront consacrée à la clôture du cycle stratégique 2022-2024, à la définition des axes 2024-2026 avec des réflexions axées notamment sur les capacités de réponse d’urgence, le relèvement économique, et l’amélioration de l’accès aux soins et services de réadaptation en RDC.
STRATEGIE DE HI
HI a développé une stratégie qui porte notre horizon à 2025. Celle-ci se décompose en 3 chapitres et 15 axes stratégiques, et doit renforcer l’agilité de notre organisation, ainsi que les moyens à notre disposition pour répondre toujours mieux aux besoins des personnes handicapées et des populations vulnérables pour réaliser sa vision : Indignés face à l’injustice que vivent les personnes handicapées et les populations vulnérables, nous aspirons à un monde solidaire et inclusif, où toutes les différences nous enrichissent et où chacun peut « vivre debout ».
En particulier la stratégie témoigne l’attachement de HI à l’esprit de révolte contre l’injustice qui HI anime depuis l’origine. La stratégie met au défi de se développer significativement, afin de porter assistance à un plus grand nombre de personnes et de s’adapter aux mutations de notre secteur. Elle appelle à la collaboration de tous les acteurs, à l’innovation et à la recherche permanente d’efficience. Finalement, la Stratégie de HI, dans sa version mise à jour, enseigne que c’est en changeant, en s’adaptant, que serons le plus fidèle à la vision du monde de HI.
