Why are we in the Central African Republic? For more than a decade, the Central African Republic (CAR) has been affected by conflict that have displaced approximately one in four civilians. Although the country now has an improved security situation, in 2025, the UN estimates that 2.4 million people, 37.5 per cent of the population, require humanitarian assistance.
The Central African Republic is consistently one of the world’s hungriest countries
The Central African Republic is facing a critical moment in history following more than a decade of conflict. Despite the improved security situation and a more stable government, millions are still unable to enjoy the dividends of peace.
One out of every five Central Africans remains displaced.
Displacements have led to an increased vulnerability to gender-based violence, with 15,000 cases registered between January and August 2024. Natural disasters further exacerbate the situation with extreme weather events that drive new displacements. Yet at this critical juncture, humanitarian funding is decreasing rather than increasing.
