Synopsis (short abstract) The Central African Republic has been experiencing a complex humanitarian crisis since the outbreak of the armed conflict in 2013. Population displacement and violence in an already fragile context have seriously affected the food security of vulnerable populations. As the humanitarian crisis persists, sustained agricultural support is crucial to enable vulnerable households to produce their own food and increase their income.

    The food security situation in the Central African Republic remains alarming with over 43 percent of the population currently in acute food insecurity. Of these, the majority live in rural areas and mainly rely on agriculture for their livelihoods. Every USD 1 invested in crop production can yield approximately USD 12 in food.

    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.

    In the Central African Republic, over half of the population is expected to be acutely food insecure during the lean season (May–August) – a 27-percent increase compared with last year’s projection. The majority of food-insecure families live in rural areas and depend on agriculture for their food and income. FAO requires USD 45 million to assist 1.08 million people to quickly restore their agricultural livelihoods and generate income.
