Background/Context
The Central African Republic (CAR) continues to face tremendous humanitarian needs due to years of conflict and instability. As a result of violence against civilians and insecurity in areas outside urban centers, several million people are increasingly vulnerable. Their access to food and basic services, such as health care and water supply, is drastically limited. Development assistance is also a critical need to address structural concerns and increase access to basic social services in a sustainable way, especially education. The changing international context with a potentially severe impact on the CAR has added another layer to the complex humanitarian situation.
NRC has been present in CAR since 2014 and currently employs 17 international staff and approximately 170 national staff. We cover a large geographic area with activities spread across strategic districts throughout the territory such as Ouham Pende, Mambere Kadei, Sangha-Mbaere and Nana Mambere in the West, Nana Gribizi, Kemo, and Ouaka in the Centre, Basse-Kotto in the Southeast, and Lobaye and Ombella Mpoko in the Southwest. NRC operates from three field offices in Bouar, Kaga Bandoro, and Alindao, and a country coordination office in Bangui, the capital city.
NRC has been contributing to the humanitarian response in the Alindao area office thanks to the generous support of donors like ECHO, NMFA, SIDA, GFFO, ECW and OCHA (CHF).
The program portfolio includes 6 Core Competencies(CCs): ICLA (Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance), Livelihood and Food Security, WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene), Shelter, Education and Protection from Violence.
