Civil society organizations in the Democratic Republic of Congo are taking to the front line of coronavirus sensitization efforts as the pandemic continues to spike in the vast Central African nation.
Activists and NGOs in are leading efforts against the denial of the pandemic.
They are basically fighting public misconceptions about the novel coronavirus.
“Everything suggests that this pandemic does not exist here in the Congo, that the authorities are acting in such a way as to bring in funds from external partners, that is what is being said.
The NGOs have now embarked on massive sensitization despite their security being compromised: “We are prey to many situations, vis-à-vis the Kuluna (bandits), we were threatened last week by the Kuluna in Ward 11 and we always manage to help the community.”
