SUMMARY:Applying Anthropology during the Ebola Outbreak in North Kivu\, DR 
 Congo
DESCRIPTION:On 1 August 2018\, the government of the Democratic Republic of
  Congo (DRC) declared an outbreak of Ebola virus disease in the war-ridden
  North Kivu Province. While it is the 10th time in the DR Congo (and Ebola
  is the name of a Congolese river)\, this is the first Ebola epidemic in t
 he Eastern part of DRC. \\r\\nWhile Ebola is not only a deadly disease whi
 ch has killed over 11\,000 people in West Africa few years ago\, the Grand
  Nord\, the epicenter of the epidemic\, is a highly volatile area in the r
 egion. Ongoing conflict\, heavy military intervention and internal displac
 ement worsen the chronic problem of limited access to healthcare and large
  population movements due to strong trading ties within the province and w
 ith neighbouring Uganda shape the local context.\\r\\nAs is true for all g
 lobal health crises\, sociocultural\, economic\, and political dimensions 
 play a crucial role during but also after the Ebola epidemic. For this rea
 son\, anthropological involvement has been increasingly recognized as impo
 rtant in the humanitarian response. In August/ September 2018\, I was depl
 oyed with Unicef as a short-term consultant and in this talk I want to she
 d light on how anthropological expertise may address current challenges fo
 r the local population and the humanitarian response alike. \\r\\n\\r\\n\\

X-ALT-DESC:\nOn 1 August 2018\, the government of the Democratic Republic o
 f Congo (DRC) declared an outbreak of Ebola virus disease in the war-ridde
 n North Kivu Province. While it is the 10<sup>th</sup> time in the DR Cong
 o (and Ebola is the name of a Congolese river)\, this is the first Ebola e
 pidemic in the Eastern part of DRC. \nWhile Ebola is not only a deadly dis
 ease which has killed over 11\,000 people in West Africa few years ago\, t
 he <i>Grand Nord</i>\, the epicenter of the epidemic\, is a highly volatil
 e area in the region. Ongoing conflict\, heavy military intervention and i
 nternal displacement worsen the chronic problem of limited access to healt
 hcare and large population movements due to strong trading ties within the
  province and with neighbouring Uganda shape the local context.\nAs is tru
 e for all global health crises\, sociocultural\, economic\, and political 
 dimensions play a crucial role during but also after the Ebola epidemic. F
 or this reason\, anthropological involvement has been increasingly recogni
 zed as important in the humanitarian response. In August/ September 2018\,
  I was deployed with Unicef as a short-term consultant and in this talk I 
 want to shed light on how anthropological expertise may address current ch
