Background
Considered one of the poorest countries in the world, the Central African Republic ( CAR ) has been expressing a humanitarian crisis for many years. This situation is partly the cause, but also the consequence, of the weakness of the State and the chronic political instability, often ethnically based, which regularly shakes the country. Since March 2013, successive regime changes have contributed to an escalation of inter-community violence in the CAR, multiplying human rights violations, massive population displacements, ( estimated at 664,491 in October 2021 ) the destruction property and loss of livelihoods for the population. In this respect, the Inter-Agency Standing Committee has raised the Central African crisis to level 3 of the humanitarian emergency, the latter being the highest.
It is estimated that in 2022, 3.1 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance in the CAR, i.e. 63% of the Central African population. Of these, 2.2 million are in severe humanitarian need, the highest number in the past five years. The priority sectors are healthcare, WASH, protection, health and food safety. As early as March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic appeared in CAR, exacerbating the vulnerabilities of populations. If the humanitarian needs increase, the regular clashes make it difficult to access the populations in need and therefore the work of the humanitarian organizations on the spot. In December 2020, 6 armed groups came together to create the Coalition of Patriots for Change ( CPC ) and fight against the holding of presidential elections. After Faustin-Archange Touadéra was re-elected in the first round ( in power since 2016 ), the CPC stepped up its initiatives to take control of the country and in particular the capital, Bangui. Although they failed, recalled by the Central African armed forces ( FACA ) supported by MINUSCA and foreign forces ( Russians and Rwandans ), these armed groups remain very active today and clashes are regular. The necessary measures are taken by TGH to maintain activities as well as possible by ensuring the safety of expatriate and national staff.
