Congolese humanitarians demand fair share of OCHA pooled funds
In the last six months, the country pooled funds managed by OCHA have expanded, but support channelled to national humanitarian organisations in the Democratic Republic of Congo has collapsed. As OCHA plans for disbursement of another USD 1.8 billion in US funding, the Congolese gynaecologist De-Joseph Kakisingi calls for a minimum of 40 per cent of the DRC fund to be earmarked as direct grants to local actors.
