The Common Humanitarian Fund (CHF) in the Central African Republic (CAR) was critical in 2010 to cover the most immediate assessed needs of about 1.6 million people in the North West, North East and South East of the country. Sustained generous contributions from the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Sweden have allowed further predictability and flexibility, hence relevance of the overall humanitarian response in country. Whether UN agencies or Non governmental organisations, recipient partners have demonstrated strong commitment to address critical needs in most often trying circumstances. The standard allocation process has involved a wide range of stakeholders through the CHF Advisory Board, the Humanitarian Country Team and within the respective clusters.
Central African Republic: Civilians bear the brunt of decades of violence and abuses
Local and foreign armed groups in the CAR are still killing, abducting, torturing and raping civilians, as well as burning houses and looting property, Amnesty International said in a report released today.
Despite peace agreements and a fledgling Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration process, armed conflict continues to ravage the country resulting in civilian deaths and mass internal displacement.
