Aid Access & Trust: Aid groups and WHO officials stress community engagement is essential, especially as insecurity, strained health services, and anger over broader neglect complicate response. Digital Push: Kinshasa also launched RDC-Pass, a national digital ID platform under a long-term PPP, aiming to boost e-government and financial access.
