Agir Rdc (Global And Inclusive Action For The Development Of Dr Congo)

SCOPE AGIR-RDC is dedicated to the future of Congo through empowerment and being a force multiplier. AGIR works to empower the most vulnerable Congolese, not just out of their situation, but to become changemakers within their own community. At the same time, AGIR seeks to magnify its impact by incubating and mentoring other local NGOs so that they can amplify their impact. EXPERIENCE Our office has a collective 81 years of experience working in humanitarian and development affairs. Our talent’s past work includes notable achievements such as managing a program of 1,400 vulnerable women that saw 900 go on to start their own business and educating 60,000 Congolese in-person about Ebola. PORTFOLIO Despite our organization’s youthful 7-month operational age, we have already rolled out three projects: partnering with American entities to install water filters in vulnerable schools, incubating a nascent local NGO that focuses on empowering exploited domestic workers, and our flagship project to address the overlooked needs of people displaced by the eruption of Mount Nyiragongo. At this moment we are deploying over 20 volunteers and staff to the field to help with psychological welfare and building pathways of upward mobility for the impacted populations.
