In 2024, UNHCR worked alongside national authorities and partners to improve protection and inclusion for over 70,000 refugees and asylum-seekers in the Republic of Congo. From issuing identity documents and boosting school enrollment to expanding access to healthcare and livelihoods, the response focused on restoring dignity and building self-reliance. As new displacement from the DRC continues, UNHCR remains committed to securing durable solutions and ensuring refugees are included in national development efforts.
With a presence across key regions such as Likouala, Plateaux, and Pool, the operation plays a vital role in delivering protection and assistance in remote areas, while coordinating with humanitarian and development actors to build sustainable futures for displaced populations.
