Central African Republic

With political crises and violent conflicts, the Central African Republic descended into chaos in 2013. Approximately a million people, in particular from rural regions, fled to neighbouring countries or to safe places within the country. Despite the signing of the Political Accord for Peace and Reconciliation in February 2019, the security situation in the Central African Republic remains highly volatile. Around 2.8 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance (UN OCHA). Agricultural production has drastically diminished, and food prices are exploding. More than 40 per cent of the population is consistently unable to meet their minimum dietary energy needs.
