NEGATIVE: World Vision had to prioritise future funding to other areas both the eastern DRC due to the on going civil war troubles (child malnutrition, malaria morbidity, children's rights)
The US government worked with NGO's and UN agencies to provide approximately $5.0million in assistance.
Additionally the US government established a volcano awareness campaign and identified appropriate evacuation routes in the case of future eruptions. this was in the form of a grant to concern worldwide for $192533. This support continued for 3 years.
The UN provided funding support to the Goma volcano observatory to buy new equipment, provide staff training and set up partnerships. However this $1.8million was not renewed several years later amid corruption allegations at the GVO leaving it unable to pay internet bills and monitor data. The world bank stressed to the Congolese government that it was essential to giving the GVO funding resources to cover its operational costs, but the government did not step forward.
