The ICRC WatHab Programs document outlines water, sanitation, and health projects in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The objectives are to ensure access to drinking water, basic sanitation, and health infrastructure for displaced populations. Strategies include integrated programs with protection and medical departments, coordinating with other organizations, and assisting internally displaced people and host communities. Projects are carried out with governmental institutions to support their capacities. Summaries of specific projects are provided in North Kivu, South Kivu, and Katanga provinces, benefiting over 1.5 million people total between 2006 and 2007.
