Presentation of TGH
“Actor of sustainable and shared solidarity
Founded in 1994, TGH is a French international solidarity association based in Lyon. It designs and implements emergency, rehabilitation, and development programs in the areas of water, hygiene and sanitation, food security and rural development, socio-education, and psychosocial support. TGH is currently active in 10 countries in Africa, Europe, and Asia.
Context
The Central African Republic (CAR) is facing one of the most complex and protracted humanitarian crises in the world. In 2025, more than 2.4 million people, more than half of the population, will be in need of humanitarian assistance. Priority needs include access to food, clean water, sanitation, healthcare, protection (particularly against gender-based violence), education, as well as shelter and basic necessities. These needs continue to grow in a context of persistent instability, where regular armed clashes complicate the delivery of aid and hamper the work of humanitarian organizations on the ground. Since independence in 1960, the CAR has experienced recurring crises, fueled by the structural weakness of the state, ethnic tensions, and chronic political instability. The situation has worsened since 2013 with the rise of intercommunal violence, successive regime changes and the emergence of multiple armed groups, including the Coalition of Patriots for Change (CPC), which gained strength after the disputed presidential elections of December 2020. Although the Central African Armed Forces (FACA), supported by international partners such as MINUSCA, have recaptured part of the territory, the country remains facing a multidimensional crisis of level 3, the highest on the Inter-Agency Standing Committee’s humanitarian emergency scale.
In this already deteriorating national context, the Vakaga prefecture, located in the northeast of the country on the border with Chad and Sudan, is among the most vulnerable areas in the CAR. Classified as level 4 of intersectoral needs severity according to the HNRP 2025, Vakaga combines extreme geographic isolation with political, economic, and social marginalization. The state is weakly represented there, even though efforts to redeploy public services have been underway in recent years, and many civil servants are still based in Ndélé, in the neighboring Bamingui-Bangoran prefecture. Vakaga was also the last of the country’s 16 prefectures to officially welcome its prefect in 2018, several months after his appointment. The lack of state services adds to a highly unstable security context, marked by the active presence of the CPC, Sudanese and Chadian armed groups, and recurring intercommunal tensions. Violent clashes took place in Birao in 2019, causing the displacement of more than 15,000 people and a surge in needs for water, hygiene, sanitation, and food aid. MINUSCA is currently present in Birao to protect civilians, facilitate humanitarian assistance, and support stabilization efforts.
The situation has further deteriorated since the outbreak of war in Sudan in April 2023. The closure of the border, vital for supplying Vakaga, has led to soaring market prices and exacerbated food insecurity. The massive influx of Sudanese refugees and Central African returnees into the region is putting considerable pressure on already limited local resources. According to the UNHCR report of May 9, 2025, the number of Sudanese refugees in Vakaga is estimated at 37,836 people, including 26,556 in the town of Birao (Korsi site).
Furthermore, humanitarian needs in the sectors of nutrition, health, food security (FSS), water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH), protection (including child protection and the fight against GBV) and education are considered critical, reflecting a crisis to emergency situation. Faced with this context, Triangle Génération Humanitaire (TGH), present in Vakaga, is constantly adapting its actions to meet the growing needs of the population, while ensuring the safety of its teams and the continuity of its interventions in an extremely fragile area.
Presentation of the mission
TGH began its work in the CAR in 2007 to support refugees from Darfur in the Vakaga prefecture. To this day, TGH remains one of the only international humanitarian organizations with a continuous presence in this marginalized and remote region. The organization operates in the sectors of Food Security and Livelihoods, Water, Hygiene, Sanitation, and Education, supporting vulnerable local populations and refugees affected by the Sudanese crisis.
In Bangui, TGH has been working since 2014 on behalf of street children and incarcerated minors, through the establishment of mobile antennas and permanent offices to provide the most vulnerable children with access to basic socio-educational and medical services; and participates in the process of family reunification and foster care placement, alongside the supervisory ministry.
The current team is made up of 11 expatriate staff and around 120 national staff, divided between coordination and the operational base (Bangui, Birao).
