Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profileThe Central African Republic | Revised humanitarian response (May–December 2020)
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)
2020Also available in:
No results found.Since the first COVID-19 cases were reported in the country, the Government has taken several urgent and essential health-related measures to mitigate the spread, including border closures, movement restrictions between Bangui and the largest towns in the East, the closure of the national airport and increased controls at the border with Cameroon. The effects of the essential restrictions have exacerbated the slowdown in food commodity imports and there have been major supply chain disruptions. The majority of imports are now coming from Cameroon due to the closure of borders with other countries, but a two-week delay in supply has been observed due to increased border controls, which created shortage in supply in Bangui as well as in other provinces. In the framework of FAO’s Corporate COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme and the United Nations Global Humanitarian Response Plan for COVID-19, FAO has revised its humanitarian response for 2020 to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and address the needs of the most vulnerable households. -

Anticipatory action – Supporting returnees to resume agricultural production activities
2021Also available in:
No results found.Since the end of 2020, the humanitarian situation in the Central African Republic has seriously deteriorated. This is largely due to attacks from armed groups, who have extended their presence in parts of the country and are responsible for regular violent actions, particularly in the run-up to and following the general elections of December 2020. This resurgence of violence has had considerable impact on civilians and caused the displacement of an additional 321 000 people, bringing the total caseload to 738 280. The post-election violence and displacement are taking place in an already disastrous humanitarian context where about half of the country’s population is facing high acute food insecurity. Of the USD 31.5 million required by FAO under the 2021 Humanitarian Response Plan, USD 14.22 million are urgently needed to support 174 000 returnees and 300 000 host community members across the country through anticipatory action to grow food and avoid hunger in the coming months.
