Breakthrough ACTION-RDC a développé des affiches pour encourager les femmes enceintes à prendre des mesures préventives contre le paludisme, notamment en se rendant aux consultations prénatales et en prenant toutes les doses de médicaments antipaludiques.
Breakthrough ACTION a développé des affiches, des spots audiovisuels et des bannières pour le lancement du vaccin antipaludique R21/Matrix M en la République du Congo. Ces messages visent à promouvoir l’acceptation et l’utilisation du vaccin contre le paludisme. Cet effort a impliqué une c...ollaboration avec des experts techniques de divers partenaires et des membres de la Task-Force Communication Paludisme, le Programme National de Lutte contre le Paludisme, ainsi qu’avec le Programme Elargi de Vaccination.

In June 2025, 26 incidents affecting humanitarian actors were reported, marking a continued decline from 45 incidents in May and 73 in March. While this downward trend may suggest a temporary easing of direct threats, access constraints remain severe. Notably, there was a significant spike in kidnap...pings, with 11 cases reported in June alone.

On 4 September 2025, the Ministry of Health of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) declared an outbreak of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) in Kasai Province, following confirmation of Zaire ebolavirus by the National Institute of Biomedical Research (INRB) in Bulape and Mweka Health Zones. As of 19... September, there have been 48 total cases (38 confirmed, 10 probable) with 31 deaths (21 confirmed, 10 probable) and a CFR of 64.5%. Among laboratory confirmed cases, 16 deaths were recorded (CFR: 45.7%). Four deaths occurred among health workers, underscoring the risk of nosocomial transmission. Most cases (39.7%) are among adults aged 20 years and above, in a densely populated, remote, and under-resourced area.
The outbreak is driven by multiple risk factors, including transmission in health facilities with limited infection prevention and control (IPC) measures and personal protective equipment (PPE), incomplete contact tracing, delayed detection, and unsafe burial practices. High population mobility between Bulape and Tshikapa, reliance on traditional healers, and the concurrent mpox outbreak are further straining the fragile health system and increasing the risk of geographic spread.

En décembre 2022, la République démocratique du Congo a déclaré une flambée nationale de variole simienne. Un système de gestion des incidents est en place depuis février 2023, compte tenu du nombre croissant de cas signalés. Depuis septembre 2023, l’épidémie de variole simienne continu...e de se propager dans la province du Sud-Kivu, ainsi que, plus récemment, dans la province voisine du Nord-Kivu, du fait de la transmission par contact sexuel

I examine the effectiveness of donors in targeting the highest burden of malaria in the Democratic Republic of Congo when health information structure is fragmented. I exploit local variations in the burden of malaria induced by mining activities as well as financial and epidemiological data from he...alth facilities to estimate how local aid is matching local health needs. Using a regression discontinuity design, I find significant but quantitatively small variations in aid to health facilities located within mining areas. Comparing local aid with the additional cost of treatment and prevention associated with the increased risk of malaria transmission, I find suggestive evidence that local populations with the highest burden of the disease receive a proportionately lower share of aid compared to neighbouring areas with reduced exposure to malaria infection. The evidence of disparities in the allocation of aid for malaria supports the view that donors may have inaccurate information about local population needs.
