KEY DEVELOPMENTS
-
In recent weeks, fighting between armed actors has displaced populations and generated additional humanitarian needs among communities in areas of Central African Republic (CAR), such as Haute-Kotto and Ouaka prefectures. Despite continued insecurity and tensions in the affected areas, USAID-supported organizations and other response actors are conducting needs assessments and providing basic relief items, food supplies, health care services, protection support, shelter materials, and other emergency assistance.
-
Violence among armed actors and against civilians and humanitarian workers remains an issue in CAR. Since late December 2016, relief agencies have recorded attacks against internally displaced persons (IDPs), aid workers, and UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in CAR (MINUSCA) peacekeepers in areas countrywide.
-
To date in FY 2017, USAID/FFP has provided the UN World Food Program (WFP) nearly $29 million to address the emergency food needs of conflict-affected Central Africans within CAR and displaced to neighboring countries.
