While security conditions have improved in most of DRC, the eastern region of North Kivu continues to experience violence and displacement. Besides affecting the population, the crisis also reduces humanitarian access and data availability. Values in the above table must be interpreted with caution, bearing in mind that while CE-DAT coverage and data timeliness from Bandundu are satisfactory (see map), data from North Kivu are scarce and mainly dating back to 2010. GAM values are elevated in the central regions of Bandundu, Kasai Occidental and Maniema, despite other indicators (crude and under five mortality rates, MCV coverage) showing values below emergency levels. In the eastern regions, all indicators are below alert levels. With the resurgence of violence in North Kivu and population movements over the last 6 months, this must be seen as due to a lack of recent data.
