Highlights
▪ Last week, the security situation in the Sudanese refugee hosting areas of Vakaga and Haute Kotto prefectures remained calm. However, in Bamingui Bangoran prefecture, specifically in the village of Ngarba, non-state armed groups launched an attack on a position occupied by the Central African Armed Forces (FACA).
▪ This week, UNHCR participated in a review workshop organized by the Ministry of Education to evaluate the progress toward the education sector’s objectives. UNHCR facilitated the involvement of the Vakaga academic inspector in this event. Additionally, it was an opportunity to build connections with academic inspectors from regions hosting Sudanese refugees, including Bamingui-Bangoran, Haute-Kotto, Haut-Mbomou, Mbomou, Ouaka, and Lim Pende, to enhance collaboration, particularly for 2025. UNHCR also met with the Director General of the National Institute for Research and Pedagogic Animation (Institut National de la Recherche et de l'Animation Pédagogique) and the Inspector General of the Ministry of Education's Preschool Education Division to discuss ongoing and future activities as part of the Education Cannot Wait initiative.
