France–RDC : Humanitarian Conference in Paris to Raise $10 Billion

France will host a humanitarian conference in Paris in late October 2025 to support populations in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, facing a major humanitarian crisis. The goal is to mobilize $10 billion. Already, $1 billion has been pledged, according to an announcement by President Emmanuel Macron on September 23, 2025. This initiative aims to address the urgent needs of displaced populations in the Kivu regions, devastated by decades of violence.
