The Democratic Republic of the Congo continues to have the world’s highest number of people facing acute food insecurity: 26 million through June. Around 80 percent live in rural areas and rely on agriculture to feed and provide for themselves. Between 2016 and 2020, only USD 9 out 100 in food security assistance went to support rural livelihoods. This ratio needs to change for food security to improve.
