General context of the project
The Central African Republic is a country that has gone through more than two decades of various multifaceted crises, including political instability with the overthrow of regimes through coups d’état, intercommunal conflicts between the Sélékas and the Anti-balakas,…
Besides these armed conflicts, we can also point out the multiplicity of armed forces and groups in this country, including: the UPC, 3R, the ex AAKG.
Due to the fragile and volatile security situation in the country, the government has benefited from military support from MINUSCA, Russian mercenaries (Wagner) operating in support of the Central African Armed Forces (FACA) in the Nana-Gbirizi and Bamingui-Bangoran areas, and a battalion of a multinational force operating under a United Nations mandate. In addition, the Rwandan Defense Forces’ Special Intervention Brigade is providing support to the presidential security detail.
A new constitution was adopted on August 2, 2023. Despite this adoption, the country was plunged into a new crisis. In July 2025, a peace agreement was signed between the government and the two main rebel factions. This agreement was not more inclusive due to the mistrust of certain other rebel groups who boycotted the cantonment and disarmament process.
For more than a decade INTERSOS has operated an office in CAR to respond to the humanitarian needs of vulnerable populations in protection (GBV and general protection, child protection), Health, CCCM, Shelter, NFIs and WASH.
