The following presents a brief analysis of the mortality and nutrition situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo from 2000-2006 based on a summary of surveys, academic articles, and UN documentation over that period. The information was collected for the purpose of analysis in CRED’s Complex Emergency Database (CEDAT). At the present time the database has only limited information for the years prior to 2000 and so has not included them in the analysis, although we acknowledge that the conflict began in 1998. N.B. There were ten provinces plus Kinshasa until February 2006 when the government changed the Constitution to include 26 provinces. However as this is not yet reflected in documentation for DRC we will maintain the previously used 11 provinces.
