RDC Organisations must continue response on sexual violence emergency in Maniema, DRC

With its Salamabila project, launched in 2018, MSF is one of the Ministry of Health's main partners in providing medical and psychosocial support to survivors of sexual violence. MSF teams have implemented activities for survivors in primary and secondary facilities. The project has also implemented a decentralised model (a community-based strategy for managing cases of sexual violence at the peripheral level) allowing rapid (<72 hours) and confidential access for survivors.

In view of its withdrawal from the project at the end of October 2025, efforts have been made to identify local actors and mobilise donors so that progress, particularly in terms of community care, can continue despite MSF's departure.
