Methodology Data collection Researchers and analysts from the Crisis Analysis Team in the Democratic Republic of Congo collect, triangulate and analyze information gathered from primary and secondary sources. Each week, researchers conduct interviews with key informants to better understand the events contributing to the humanitarian crisis in eastern DRC . They analyze their potential impact on humanitarian operations. These interviews take place with local administrative officials, customary representatives, health personnel, representatives of the army and armed groups, as well as humanitarian organizations active in Ituri, North Kivu, South Kivu, Tanganyika and Maniema. CAT-DRC also uses a number of secondary sources made available by humanitarian partners and the community. All information undergoes a triangulation process before analysis and dissemination. However, the information presented in this report is subject to change at the time of publication due to rapidly evolving situations in the region. If you have any comments or information you would like the CAT-DRC to follow up, please fill in this form here : contact form. Data analysis and report structure The analyses presented focus on two main aspects: population displacement and the coverage status of humanitarian needs; and humanitarian access in the areas hosting the most displaced people in eastern DRC. Populations displacements and humanitarian needs The analysis of displacement is the first aspect of this report. This analysis aims on the one hand to document and understand new population movements, i.e. those that occurred during the month covered by this report, and on the other hand to assess and map the areas that have hosted the most waves of unassisted displacement over the past four months, including the month covered by this report. In the following, these areas are referred to as displacement hotspots. Both displacement hotspots and new displacements are analyzed at the territory level in the five provinces studied in eastern DRC, and are presented on Map 1. On this map, territories are categorized into class intervals that correspond to the number of households hosted in the territory and not yet having received any humanitarian assistance. The number of households used to categorize territories corresponds to the sum of all major displacements, i.e. over 300 households, reported in each territory between October 2023 and January 2024. The displacements of more than 300 households that took place in January 2024 are also illustrated on Map 1, by marking the position of the localities hosting the displaced people. These new displacements are then described more precisely, on a case-by-case basis, using maps illustrating the itinerary of the movements, between the departure and reception localities in each of the territories where they took place. .
