The USAID/BHA funded Building Recovery for Kasai

(BUREKA) which is implemented by ADRA is a 12-month

activity to build upon ADRA’s successful initiatives in

the Food Assistance for Displaced, Returnees, and Ex-

pelled Congolese 1–3 (FADREC 1–3). While FADREC in-

terventions focused largely on food assistance, BUREKA

is using minimal inputs of food assistance to support

ADRA’s early recovery and livelihoods restoration ap-

proach. Working with 10,500 HHs.

With the goal of contributing to the early recovery and

livelihood restoration of the most vulnerable house-

holds through the integration of more intensive and

productive agriculture systems, access to savings and

credit, and ensuring access to safe WASH services, BU-

REKA provides improved seeds of commonly grown

crops in the region and established farmer field school

(FFS) to train in good agricultural practices. In addition,

through the development of village savings and loan

associations (VSLAs), BUREKA is encouraging regular

household savings and training in basic financial man-

agement. Food assistance as well as improved access

to clean water from rehabilitated springs and hygiene

promotion are other aspect of the intervention.
