USAID programs strengthen the ability of the Government of the DRC and civil society organizations to deliver basic services and encourage greater citizen participation in political processes. Our assistance supports free, fair, and credible elections and improves access to information so that citizens may participate fully in the democratic process, and make more informed decisions.
USAID’s education activities support the Ministry of Education as well as three other Ministries (Ministry of Social Affairs, Ministry of Youth and New Citizenship, and Ministry of Professional Training) to increase access, equity, retention, and also improve the quality and relevance of education for Congolese youth. This work is achieved by working with local civil society organizations, the private sector, and both formal and non-formal education centers. All education activities integrate gender and empowerment activities.
USAID is the largest bilateral donor in the health sector in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Our health program represents the Agency’s largest investment in the country. The country is one of the world’s top five contributors to maternal and child mortality.
