CA-3-P006155001 2026-04-21T06:32:46 February 2018 - Following a coup d’état in March 2013, the humanitarian situation in the Central African Republic (CAR) deteriorated rapidly, as inter-communal violence spun out of control and led to thousands of deaths, massive human displacement, and grave human rights abuses. Elections in March 2016 saw the introduction of a new President in CAR that brought a welcome yet short lived calm to the country. However, CAR continues to be plagued by violence, armed criminality, and widespread humanitarian needs. Conflict between armed groups has persisted across much of CAR in 2017: armed groups have fragmented and reformed among various alliances, complicating the ongoing crisis. An estimated 2.5 million people in CAR will require humanitarian assistance in 2018. There has been a 50% spike in internal displacement, with internally displaced people now totalling over 688,000. The number of refugees has also increased to 556,375 bringing the total number of people displaced to over 1.24 million people—the highest number ever recorded in CAR. Attacks on and looting of humanitarian actors increased in 2017 and are hindering their ability to respond to needs relating to widespread food insecurity, high levels of child malnutrition, and protection of the most vulnerable populations, including women and girls. With GAC’s support, Solidarites International is providing emergency assistance to address the urgent needs of up to 14,500 conflict-affected people in Ouham-Pendé and Ouham prefectures, CAR. This project focuses on increasing access to safe water and sanitation facilities, non-food items, as well as livelihoods support for conflict affected populations. Project activities include: (1) constructing or rehabilitating up to 12 latrine blocks, benefitting up to 3,000 people; (2) constructing or rehabilitating up to 6 shower blocks, benefitting up to 3,000 people; (3) raising the awareness of up to 7,000 people of hygiene best practices; (4) providing up to 1,500 vulnerable women with hygiene kits; and (5) distributing food vouchers, benefitting up to 3,000 people.
