Description:

February 2018 – Following a coup d’état in March 2013, the humanitarian situation in the Central African Republic (CAR) rapidly deteriorated. In 2017, the country continued to be plagued by violent conflict between armed groups and inter-communal violence. The number of displaced people in the country has increased to over 1.24 million, comprised of roughly 688,000 internally displaced people and 556,375 refugees – the highest number ever recorded in CAR. In 2018, an estimated 2.5 million people in CAR will require humanitarian assistance. With GAC’s support, the Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (ACTED) is providing assistance to address the urgent needs of up to 20,030 conflict-affected people in Mbombou and Basse-Kotto prefectures, CAR. This project focuses on nutrition and on increasing access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities in and around health facilities. Project activities include: (1) constructing or rehabilitating up to 18 water points, benefitting up to 9,000 people; (2) treating up to 1,000 girls and boys suffering from severe acute malnutrition; and (3) raising the awareness of up to 4,500 people about good hygiene practices.
