NGOs in DR Congo
Verified NGO contacts and profiles in DR Congo, published in the printed and electronic NGOs Eastern Africa Directory.
NGO directory for DR Congo
The Democratic Republic of the Congo is the newest region covered by the NGOs Eastern Africa Directory, and one of the largest. Humanitarian and development work in the east of the country, and increasingly in the west, is carried out by a mix of Congolese national organisations, community groups and international agencies. The directory gives those organisations a verified presence with contacts, locations and programme information, and gives partners a practical way to find them.

A very large sector with very little public information
The eastern provinces of the DRC host one of the world's largest concentrations of humanitarian organisations, working on displacement, health emergencies, nutrition, protection and water supply in extremely difficult conditions. Alongside the well-known international agencies is a large population of Congolese organisations that are often the only actors able to reach a particular community.
Information about these organisations is fragmented. Individual coordination meetings, cluster spreadsheets and personal referrals are how partners usually find each other, which excludes anyone without existing networks. Publishing a structured, verified entry changes that.
What a Congolese listing covers
Each entry records the organisation name, office locations in the country, telephone and email contacts, website and social media where available, the provinces and territories where programmes run, sectors covered, and a profile of mission, activities and existing partners.
Where an organisation operates only in a specific province or health zone, that is stated clearly, because in the DRC the difference between an organisation with provincial reach and one confined to a single territory materially changes who can work with it.
