Acted

For 30 years, Acted has been working on the front lines of humanitarian action to save lives. Acted supports more than 27 million people in 43 countries, responding to their needs in hard-to-reach areas, while pursuing a triple mandate as a humanitarian, environmental, and development actor.

Acted Democratic Republic of Congo

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) remains reeling from the consequences of decades of civil war. Living in precarious conditions, displaced people suffer from chronic food insecurity and illnesses linked to a lack of access to water, hygiene, and sanitation. Present in the DRC since 2003, Acted works primarily to respond to emergencies, strengthen the resilience of communities, co-create effective governance, and promote inclusive and sustainable growth. Currently operating mainly in the South Kivu, Tanganyika, and North regions with projects funded by BHA (Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance), FH (Humanitarian Fund), ECHO (European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations ), and FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office), Acted provides a flexible and tailored emergency response to acute and complex humanitarian crises by working directly with the most vulnerable populations. With seven projects underway in our different areas, Acted seeks to meet their immediate needs in terms of access to housing (shelter), food security, essential household items or access to water, while promoting a protective environment.

Acted currently has three different projects in the South Kivu region. These include a multi-sectoral emergency project providing food and non-food assistance, community-based climate change (CBCC), and agricultural recovery; a rapid response project managed by the SAFER consortium operating throughout the Southeast region; and a project providing emergency assistance in the form of shelter and essential household items to displaced and host communities. In the Tanganyika region, Acted is currently implementing two projects: one focused on coordinated action for multi-sectoral programming both within and outside camps, and another, conducted in partnership with another organization, supporting agricultural recovery activities and providing food assistance to vulnerable populations. Finally, in the North region, Acted also has a multi-sectoral response project providing food assistance, agricultural support, economic recovery, and support for Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH).

Acted is committed to taking action today and investing in the future, with the contribution of a broad network of partners, local organizations, global networks, and various clusters that bring their expertise, experience, and voice to ensure the smooth running of the mission and the achievement of its impact objectives. In the DRC, Acted is therefore active in humanitarian coordination with existing clusters and working groups, as well as entities such as OCHA.

The Area Surveys, Monitoring, Control and Evaluation (MEAL) Officer is responsible for developing and implementing an appropriate and viable surveys, monitoring and evaluation system in line with Acted's global MEAL procedures and helps ensure that Acted's projects and programs are delivered as planned.
