Central African Republic Humanitarian Dashboard (January - March 2024)

HUMANITARIAN SITUATION

Though there is relative improvement in the humanitarian context, populations in the Central African Republic continue to face insecurity and threats to their well-being: one in five Central Africans is an internal displaced person or a refugee in the neighboring countries. In 2024, 2.8 million Central Africans are so vulnerable that humanitarian assistance alone will not suffice to restore their well-being. 1.9 million of them, who are extremely vulnerable, are targeted through the Humanitarian Response Plan. From January to March 2024, humanitarian actors provided life-saving assistance to 768,216 people (of which 399,608 women and 368,608 men)in at least once in one of the key sectors including food security, health, protection, water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH), Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM), shelter/non-food, items (NFI), and education. This represents a 15 per cent increase in the number of persons assisted compared to the same period in 2023.

Funding requirements for the 2024 humanitarian response are estimated at US$ 367,7 million. As of 31 March, only 27 per cent have been mobilized, leaving a gap of US$ 265.5 million. Five months after the launch of the HRP, the CCCM, Shelter and NFI sectors as well as the Mine Action area of responsibility have not received any funding.
