2 I. INTRODUCTION AND SITUATION ANALYSIS In Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a peace and reconciliation process was initiated in The war, and the decades of political and economic instability preceding this, has led to elevated levels of poverty in one of the potentially richest countries in Africa. With a population of around 60 million of which 80% live on 0,3 USD/day, and with a GDP of 100 USD per capita, DRC rank among the poorest countries in the world. Living conditions vary substantially between provinces. The infant mortality rate in the Eastern provinces is twice the national average, evidencing the graveness of the humanitarian crisis in that part of the country. Also in the East, maternal mortality rates are estimated to more than 1,800 per 100,000 live births, which is far above the Sub-Saharan average. There are also great disparities in living conditions within provinces, especially between rural and urban areas. Conditions are especially severe in conflict zones or enclave areas, where difficulties in access prevents intervention by the Government and other partners. Life expectancy has plunged from 52 years in 2004 to less than 45 years in The main public health problems are malaria, TB, and diarrhoeas (cholera included). Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) and measles are other important causes to the high levels of infant morbidity and mortality. Communicable disease control remains one of the main challenges in DRC, partially due to the fact that the country is ravaged by the diseases already mentioned, but also because of the re-emergence of new pathogens such as Ebola and Marburg haemorrhagic fevers, trypanosomiasis, and plague. The ongoing conflict and the consequent crumbling of health infrastructures has severely weakened the health system that cannot meet the needs of the population. Present treatment costs are estimated between $2-4 per person (new cases). This estimate does not include new treatment protocols (e.g. ACT, ARV). Sexual and gender-based violence in conflict zones, abducted and systematically raped women, is a serious problem from a reproductive health perspective that needs to be more thoroughly documented and addressed. Malaria the reason behind 45% of the high infant mortality rates and weak coordination and management of emergency health programmes, are the dominant factors painting the picture of the alarming humanitarian situation in East DRC. For this reason, special effort is needed to initiate the new malaria treatment protocol in this region, as well as to strengthen emergency preparedness and response, in particular the coordination of emergency health interventions, to re-establish progressive and sustainable health programmes. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to: 1. Strengthening the WHO decentralized structures in East DRC The WHO coordination role in disease surveillance, early warning and outbreak response is widely recognized. There is, however, agreement on the need for consistent WHO technical coordination on broader public health issues, including environmental health, mental health, malaria, TB and HIV control, GBV, health system matters and training and education of health workers. DRC is a large country from both a geographical and demographic perspective and can therefore not be seen as one health entity. Some of the provinces are bigger than countries. For example, each of the Kivus is as big as Rwanda and Burundi together. There is no possibility of managing a major health crisis relying on centralized structures, at least in the humanitarian and transitional phases. It is therefore imperative to strengthen regional health structures. WHO is privileged (and sometimes limited) by its close relation to the Ministry of Health. In this context, WHO should strengthen its decentralized presence to provide maximal support to the provincial and zonal health structures, as this where support is crucial and badly needed. It should also be closer to regional and local actors including national and international NGOs, UN sister agencies and donors present at provincial levels. 2

3 2. To advocate urgent humanitarian issues and good humanitarian practices through proper health information management WHO has an extensive network of staff in DRC. This network is basically dealing with Poliomyelitis control and eradication. It has 12 sub offices spread over the country, including in the conflict affected region. However, the information coming from this network should be processed, analysed and disseminated to partners to provide the base for coordination, planning, decision making and advocacy. Health issues like malaria mortality among IDPs, GBV and environmental issues can only be successfully advocated if the information coming from WHO network, from partner NGOs and from BC-ZS is properly collected, verified, analysed and disseminated. 3. Support the initiation of the new malaria treatment protocol in North and South Kivu provinces Increasing resistance of the malaria parasite (P.Falciparum) towards sulfadoxine+ pyrimethamine (SP), the previous first-line drug (since 2001) is a growing problem. The resistance rate varies considerably in the country from 20-60%. This development justified the urgent discussion to review national treatment strategies, which took place in March Partners are now looking into the logistic and financial consequences if health zones are switching to ACTs. Some NGOs already changed the first-line treatment to Artemisinin based Combination Therapy (ACT). Both the availability of the drug and the enforcement of its use are the tow key issues to reduce malaria mortality among vulnerable population. Malaria represents 45% of cause behind the high infant mortality rates. 4. Support the Ministry of Health in the coordination and management of emergency health programmes Due to the lack of coordination and the absence of the controlling and directing functions of the Ministry of Health and its regional and local structures, the standards of assistance is not well known and variable between areas and present NGOs. The MoH administrative structures, despite suffering from an absolute shortage of funds, never ceased to exist during the war. Also the health administration in the Eastern provinces, although being cut off from the central administration, remained functioning but at a reduced level. 3
