the <i>Kamuina Nsapu </i>insurrection on the
livelihood of rural populations in the territory of Miabi. It also seeks to

this psychosocial shock. Therefore, the household survey and structured
interview were used for collecting data through the villages of Katende, Miketa
and Tshilundu. In addition, the analysis method was explored for data processing
by using R 3.5 software. After investigation, it was found that the <i>Kamuina Nsapu </i>phenomenon remains the
major shock recorded by the respondents. This humanitarian shock had driven to
socio-economic impacts: decreasing of livelihoods for local community which is
linked with the increasing of insecurity and vulnerability in this rural area,
on one hand. On the other hand, the sanitarian impact is namely the increase of
severe malnutrition at around of 36.6%. Faced this mechanism, the local
