Analyse du fonctionnement des marchés en relation avec la sécurité alimentaire des menagés

Resume
Malgré un potentiel agro-écologique et minier très important, la République Centrafricaine (RCA) reste l’un des pays les plus pauvres au monde. Selon l’Enquête Centrafricaine pour le Suivi-Evaluation du Bien-être1(ECASEB), en 2008, 62% de la population, soit 2,6 millions de personnes vivaient en dessous du seuil de pauvreté (49,6% en milieu urbain, et près de 69,4% en milieu rural).

Central African Republic: Consolidated Appeal 2011 Mid-Year Review

In the midst of a still-fragile regional context, the Central African Republic (CAR) has achieved a significant step towards peace consolidation, with the peaceful holding of national elections in early 2011. In spite of the many claims put forward by the opposition regarding the legitimacy of the parliamentary election results, incumbent President Bozize was re-elected for a second term without major incidents. However, this important achievement has not yet brought the anticipated improvements for the vast majority of the CAR population.

In the north-west where the majority of the internally displaced people are located, little progress has been made towards building an environment conducive to durable returns. Similarly, CAR refugees in both Cameroon and Chad await further guarantees before returning to their home country. Whilst a comprehensive reintegration strategy has been agreed by the Government and its partners, no concrete steps have yet been taken in the disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) process, in spite of the strong will of the Government to do so.

Working with partners

Implementing partners include the Government’s Commission Nationale pour les Réfugiés (CNR), CNPPDI and other relevant ministries, IRC, DRC, Triangle GH, IMC, Merlin, COOPI, CSSI and CARITAS. UNHCR chairs the Protection Cluster and works closely with the UN Country Team, national and international NGOs and donors, and participates in joint activities, like the provision of protection and assistance to IDPs in the North.

Achievements

• The Office has started interviewing refugee returnees in Ouham Pendé prefecture. As to date, 46 out of 93 refugee returnee families have been interviewed in Nana-Barya. Findings show that all returnees in Nana-Barya fled to Cameroon. Those who returned came back either due to a family death, for health reasons, or due to difficult living conditions in Cameroon. Generally, it appears that before fleeing to asylum, 82% of interviewees lived in brick houses, after displacement 82% live in straw houses. There is no access to potable water, only 50% of children are educated, 95% have access to healthcare, and 80% of returnees eat only 1 meal per day. Only 37% feel that they are secure in Nana-Barya, and 82% have no knowledge or access to the judicial system. 21% of the refugee families interviewed have a family member who is handicapped or blind, and 18% of interviewees were single women with children.
• UNHCR and the humanitarian community in Paoua have started discussion on the return of IDPs in their villages of origin. This comes after a meeting APRD, one rebel group acting in the north, had a meeting with 46 chiefs of villages to discuss the return of IDPs to their villages.
• 180 hectares of farm lands are being distributed to Sudanese refugees by local authorities in Bambari to help them start agricultural activities. They have already received agricultural materials and seeds from FAO.

When families are forced to flee their villages because of violence, they often have to leave behind some of their most valuable assets: seeds and tools for farming. This leads to an even bigger loss: their harvest.

Because of ongoing violence, food security is a major issue in the Central African Republic. Although some early projects are making a difference, more needs to be done; local food prices are increasing rapidly for food produced both inside and out of CAR .

In the western part of the Central African Republic (CAR) lies the Nana-Mambéré prefecture, divided in two by CAR’s primary trade route with Cameroon. The road is the country’s most important lifeline (for supplies coming from Douala’s port), and also its only real possibility for trading timber or agricultural exports internationally.

To support farming communities in Nana- Mambéré, Mercy Corps, in conjunction with the UN’s Food and Agricultural Organisation, recently completed one of the largest seed distribution ever performed in CAR. Reaching over 12,500 farmers, the programme was designed to address three of the major issues facing people in Nana-Mambéré: food insecurity, chronic poverty and hunger.
