Number of field offices continues to grow
Sep 4th, 2008 by Kersten Jauer, HDPT CAR
Humanitarian and development organisations in the Central African Republic (CAR) continue expand their presence in the field. Many years after most field offices were shut down, aid agencies now continue to return. Since early 2007, the number of offices outside the capital has risen from 10 to more than 40. In a country the size of France, however, more will be necessary to help the Central African population recover from years of crises.
Over the last twelve months, new field offices were established in Ndélé (Solidarités), in Kaga-Bandoro (ACTED, Solidarités), Ouandja (International Medical Corps), Bouar (MercyCorps, Merlin), Bocaranga (International Rescue Committe), and Paoua (Danish Refugee Council, Mentor Initiative). The Dutch NGO CordAid is starting its operations in CAR soon, and has already set up an office in Bangui.

I’m planning a trip to Central Africa and I really found interesting this blog and the useful information.
Thanks.
