Mise à jour sur la sécurité alimentaire Décembre 2025 L’intensification des violences dans l’est du pays exacerbe l’insécurité alimentaire Download the report
  • L’insécurité alimentaire devrait s’aggraver à la suite des nouvelles offensives du M23 dans les zones agro-économiquement stratégiques et densément peuplées des provinces de Sud-Kivu et Nord-Kivu, lesquelles ont provoqué plus de 500 000 nouveaux déplacements depuis le début de décembre. Les populations fuyant les violences abandonnent leurs moyens d’existence (agriculture, petits commerce, élevage)Des résultats de Crise (Phase 3 de l’IPC), avec des populations en Urgence (Phase 4 de l’IPC), sont attendus jusqu’en mai 2026 dans les zones les plus impactées par l’intensification des conflits à l’est du pays.
  • Les zones les plus préoccupants sont les territoires de Djugu (Ituri), Lubero (Nord-Kivu), Uvira (Sud-Kivu), et des poches du Rutshuru, Masisi, et Walikale au Nord-Kivu où les ménages sont fortement en risque des déficits de consommation alimentaire en raison des conflits très volatile. Bien que leur retrait ait été annoncé en décembre, les rebelles du M23 ne se sont pas retirés de la ville d’Uvira, qui reste officiellement sans autorité étatique. Cette instabilité prolongée perturbe les marchés, provoque des déplacements et limite l’accès aux terres agricoles, aggravant l’insécurité alimentaire des ménages dont les moyens d’existence sont déjà précaires.
  • Bien que les besoins en assistance alimentaire humanitaire diminuent après la grande soudure de la saison 2 (S2) d’octobre à décembre avec les récoltes qui débuteront de janvier à mars 2026, les besoins resteront importants dans les zones touchées par des conflits intenses telles que les provinces du Nord-Kivu, du Sud-Kivu, et de l’Ituri.
  • La stabilité récente du franc congolais et le taux d’échange favorable ont entrainé une baisse notable du coût des produits alimentaires importés et favorisent ces sources d’approvisionnement. 

Ce rapport fournit une mise à jour des perspectives sur la sécurité alimentaire pour le mois d’octobre 2025 et des messages clés de novembre 2025. L’analyse est basée sur les informations disponibles au 24 décembre 2025.
