This project will support vulnerable internally displaced families in North Kivu, DRC, to rebuild their livelihoods through subsistence agriculture. The project will provide vulnerable households with seeds, basic farming tools, agricultural training, and practical support to grow maize, beans, soybeans, and vegetables. It will strengthen household food security, generate small incomes, and help displaced families rebuild resilience and self-reliance.
Conflict and displacement in North Kivu have left many vulnerable families without land, income, food, or livelihood opportunities. Displaced households often depend on humanitarian assistance and struggle to afford nutritious food. Limited access to seeds, tools, agricultural knowledge, and productive resources prevents families from restarting farming. Women, persons with disabilities, older people, and other vulnerable households face additional barriers to economic recovery.
The project will help vulnerable displaced families restart small-scale subsistence farming by providing seeds, basic agricultural tools, practical training, and technical guidance. Participants will cultivate maize, beans, soybeans, and vegetables using climate-smart and low-cost farming practices. Community-based training and demonstration plots will strengthen knowledge, while harvests will improve household food consumption and allow families to sell surplus produce to meet essential needs.
The project will strengthen the resilience and self-reliance of displaced families by restoring productive livelihoods and reducing dependence on humanitarian assistance. Families will acquire agricultural skills and retain part of their harvest as seed for future seasons. Increased food production will improve household nutrition, while surplus crops can generate income for education, healthcare, shelter, and other basic needs. The approach can also be replicated among other vulnerable communit
