DR Congo: Engage Communities in Ebola Response

In the Democratic Republic of Congo, efforts are underway to respond to an Ebola outbreak. The local government and international partners are involved in the response. Community engagement is seen as crucial in addressing the outbreak. However, years of conflict and neglect have strained healthcare systems and eroded trust, potentially complicating the response. Further details on the outbreak and the response efforts are available from Human Rights Watch, including recommendations for donor countries and international organizations to provide urgent support and ensure effective use of funds.
