Humanitarian situation and needs :

The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) is one of the most isolated countries on the planet. Since its foundation in 1946, the country has been cut off the non-socialist world because of the Cold War. Towards the end of the 1980s, it then lost its main ideological partners with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the progressive disassociation of China. International sanctions, coupled with the degradation of the national economic situation, have created a precarious situation for a large part of the population, which bears the brunt of the country’s adverse policies. One can also add recurring natural disasters (alternating between draughts and floods) which further weaken the limited resources of the rural population. All these phenomenon combined prompt frequent emergency interventions by the humanitarian actors present in the country. If the exact evolution of the humanitarian situation in the DPRK represents a constant challenge, the needs of the population remain extremely important. According to the latest Needs and Priorities Report published by the United Nations, it is estimated that 10.5 people are malnourished, representing nearly 42% of the total population. The majority of the children aged under 5 and 50% of pregnant and lactating women suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The available health indicators seem to show that child mortality is approximately 13.7/ 1,000, and maternal mortality is 66/100,000), which puts the DPRK far behind other countries in the region.

Since 2006, only six NGOs are authorized to intervene in the country. Regrouped under the banner of the European Commission as “European Unit Program Support” (EUPS), they intervene essentially in the food security sector. The funding available for the NGO’s projects are limited and often depend on the international situation.

Our actions in the field: 

From 2012 to 2015, PUI implemented a project to improve access to proteins for children living in rural and urban areas of the South Hwanghae Province with European funding. Finished in December 2015, the project has benefitted to more than 15,000 children under the age of 7, by implementing a production and distribution system of dairy products (yoghurts made of goat milk and soy milk). The productions and distributions have not stopped since the end of 2013.

Besides this project, in the same area of intervention (farms and towns), funding from the AAP allowed to implement several activities: market gardening, bakeries, soy milk production workshops, post-harvest lost management, irrigation… Finally, realizing that agricultural technicians need training to develop their knowledge and methods, PUI developed a project to support one university of agriculture to have a real impact on a regional scale and in the long-term.

The current projects are as follow:

1. Support the University of Agriculture of Haeju (DEVCO). This project started in February 2016. Lasting 36 months, it aims at reinforcing the capacities of the breeding department of the University of Agriculture of Haeju, the chief-town of the South Hwanghae Province. Trainings given by international experts to develop their technical knowledge will allow students to follow a training curriculum on the latest research in the field and thus develop milk production in the North-Korean context. Some scientific and agricultural equipment are provided.

2. Developing goat breeding practices in communities and households (DEVCO). This 44 months project started in October 2016, and directly continues the activities started between 2012 and 2015 and funded by DEVCO to improve protein consumption for children. In 4 new communities, the main activities target the collective scale and are even extended for the first time to develop family farming. All of the production chain is supported: from production to fodder to the distribution of yoghurts in schools and even the breeding conditions of the goats and the milk transformation technics. Activities cover: continuous and ad-hoc trainings given by national and international technicians; building agricultural infrastructures, the supply of equipment (seeds, tractors and processing machines, etc.).
