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 use the linked form: contact form. Data analysis and report structure The analyses presented focus on two main aspects: Populations displacements and the response status of humanitarian needs; and humanitarian access in the areas hosting the most displaced people in eastern DRC. Population displacement and humanitarian need Analysis of displacement is the first section of this report. This section aims to document and understand new population movements which occurred during the month covered by this report, and assess and map humanitarian needs from unassisted displacement that took place in the past four months, including the month under review. Areas with high unassisted displacement 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 which have not yet received 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 December 2023 and March 2024. Displacements of over 300 households in March 2024 are also illustrated on Map 1, by marking the position of the localities hosting the displaced people. These new displacements are then described in more detail, on a case-by-case basis, with maps showing population movements of departure and reception areas for each of the territories concerned.
