Socio-Economic Impacts of the Kamuina Nsapu Phenomenon and Analysis of Community Resilience in the Province of Kasai Oriental: Case of the Territory of Miabi (DRC)
This research aims to identify socio-economic and sanitarian impacts of
the Kamuina Nsapu insurrection on the
livelihood of rural populations in the territory of Miabi. It also seeks to
understand the resilience mechanisms developed by the local community faced
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 Kamuina Nsapu 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
community are resorting more to migration as the main resilience mechanism to
ensure their survival. Therefore, it is necessary to call on all stakeholders
in this territory for helping local community to overcome this humanitarian
tragedy.
