L'UNICEF travaille dans certains des zones les plus difficiles au monde afin d'atteindre les enfants les plus défavorisés ; pour sauver leur vie ; défendre leurs droits et les aider à réaliser leur potentiel. La RDC est l'un des plus de 190 pays et territoires dans le monde où l'UNICEF s'efforce de surmonter les obstacles que la pauvreté, la violence, la maladie et la discrimination placent sur le chemin d'un enfant.  Visit [our website](https://www.unicef.org/) pour mieux apprendre sur notre travail a l'UNICEF. Pour chaque enfant un avenir Malgré sa vaste superficie physique et ses ressources naturelles, la République démocratique du Congo (RDC) est l'un des pays les plus pauvres du monde, se classant au 176e rang sur 188 pays dans le rapport 2015 sur le développement humain. La pauvreté des enfants est généralisée, en particulier dans les zones touchées par les conflits et difficiles à atteindre. Selon une étude récente de l'UNICEF, 80 % des enfants âgés de zéro à 15 ans subissent au moins deux privations majeures de leurs droits. Malgré une croissance soutenue ces dernières années, la taille de l'économie de la RDC reste bien trop faible pour fournir suffisamment de recettes publiques pour répondre aux besoins fondamentaux de la population, des enfants en particulier. Depuis 2016, l'instabilité politique, la persistance des conflits dans l'Est de la RDC et la forte baisse des prix mondiaux des matières premières ont été des facteurs aggravants.
