Synopsis (short abstract) Interethnic violence and the loss of government control caused a humanitarian crisis in Central Africa Republic (CAR), culminating in the displacement of some 902 000 people. The crisis triggered a level 3 (L3) humanitarian response declared on 11 December 2013 by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee, and the following day by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The L3 declaration enabled FAO to provide more rapid support to the CAR country office and rapidly scale u p operations. This evaluation assessed the entire FAO intervention since the L3 was declared. It also considered FAO’s strategic framework, particularly with regard to Strategic Objective 5 (SO5): Increase the resilience of livelihoods to threats and crises. The main purpose of this evaluation was to understand the impact of the L3 protocols on FAO’s capacity to respond to such emergencies; guide future actions undertaken in similar contexts; and increase the impact of FAO’s efforts to impr ove the resilience of affected populations. The purpose of the evaluation was to evaluate the following three areas:

  • The nature and success of FAO’s overall response, with a particular focus on the impact of the L3 protocol within this response.
  • How the response was coordinated, the quality of collaboration with partners, and the functions of the Food Security Cluster.
  • The impact of FAO’s response on populations affected by the crisis, including aspects related to improving resilience and linking short-term actions with long-term results.

    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.
