This paper discusses the contextual factors related to the NGDO working environment that limit the performance of poverty reduction strategies. The research used empirical method and literature review with the help of direct, routine and participant observation. A questionnaire survey was based on individual interviews and qualified informants. The sample included two targets: those in charge of development structures (384) and heads of beneficiary households (at least 633), i.e. a total of 1020 subjects at most. This sample was stratified in a simple but proportional and representative manner. According to their statistical significance and Cramer's V value, factors related to gender integration, the age of clients and their level of education were the most determining factors in this performance, followed by those related to site safety versus shelf accessibility. Factors related to accountability; the quality of public governance at the site, the regularity and quality of checks on the results produced came next. The quality of resource management by NGDOs and the quality of interactions between parties came next, followed by factors related to distance and the growing poverty of clients. A vision oriented towards advocacy/lobbying and a very strong «Public-NGO-poor client partnership» but decentralizing the work, developing the capacity for socio-economic self-sufficiency and democratizing public debate on the issue, is necessary to improve this performance.

Mountainous South Kivu has potential but its exploitation is subject to constraints of various kinds. The living conditions of households are bad. Poverty affects more than seven out of ten households. The majority of the population works in agriculture, but income they derive from it is considered insignificant. This study presents the results of an analysis of food security factors in 288 households in Kabare, Kaziba, Luhwinja and Ngweshe. It took place in the first half of 2018. In this study area, food production is confirmed to be insufficient and can’t ensure food self-sufficiency. The majority of households own land ranging from 0.1 to 0.9 ha (43.1% of households); the external dependence of households is high (on average 9 months of deficiency); only 12.7% of households receive food aid; income is estimated at $ 0.7 / person / day; the available infrastructure is faulty and insufficient; the households take 2 meals a day (morning and evening) considered unbalanced but in sufficient quantity; the probability of having malnourished children aged 0-5 years is 16%, while acute malnutrition is 33%, compared with severe malnutrition of 22.3% for an estimated food insecure population of 55%. , 3%. This situation is exacerbated by climate disruptions and significant distortions in agricultural product markets. Therefore, it is recommended to support and support in an efficient and effective way the revival of agropastoral production which must be at the center of the provincial strategy of food security. However, no agricultural and pastoral revival will be possible without a more active presence of the State.

In the DR Congo and more particularly in the Center-Eastern part, the populations of both urban and rural areas are experiencing signs such as the late and sometimes sudden return of rains, high temperatures, unusual drought and a disruption of the agricultural calendar. This study consisted of analyzing meteorological data from 1980 to 2016 in the Bukavu region around Lake Kivu; changes in the water levels of this lake, yield of cassava, beans, corn and potatoes from 1992 to 2015 to determine if there have been climatic disturbances and their consequences in agriculture. These data were coupled with those of a survey of 90 households to analyze their perceptions of climate change and resilience practices. The results show that the majority of crops in Central - East DRC suffer from biotic and / or abiotic stresses due to the effectiveness of climatic disturbances. The component factor analysis of the evolution of the agricultural yield of the four crops testifies that climatic changes have partial impact on yields with consequences the appearance of poorly controlled diseases of some plants, an ever-decreasing diminution of the agricultural production, the persistence of malnutrition in households, etc. The resilience strategies developed by households are the adoption of the Integrated Management of Soil Fertility package and the reorganization of the agricultural calendar.
