Description
Central African Republic (CAR) is experiencing a large scale humanitarian crisis, with approximately 400,000 displaced and many more affected. NRC started the country programme in CAR in February 2014, and is currently operating in two field offices; Carnot in the South West, and Sibut in the Centre West, as well as the capital office Bangui. In March, NRC will open a base in Ndele.
The programme portfolio includes NRCs five core competencies; ICLA (Information, Counseling and Legal Assistance), focusing on Housing, Land, and Property (HLP) rights, civil documentation, and the protection those affected by displacement through advocacy, training, awareness raising, and direct assistance, as well as Food Security, WASH, Shelter and Education.
The humanitarian needs of the population are immense; with a long history of conflict and weak governance, the majority of CAR’s population is severely impoverished and deprived of basic services and infrastructure. Human rights and IHL violations are also rife. Civilians have suffered a range of human rights abuses, including killings, the looting and burning of villages, destruction of fields, loss of livelihoods, sexual violence and the abduction and recruitment of child soldiers.
NRC started the ICLA activities in May 2014, focussing on the provision of information and training on IDP protection and HLP rights. The activities target mostly national, provincial and local authorities, humanitarian organisations, IDPs, returnees and others affected by the displacement crisis. The programme will increase its support to relevant authorities and other stakeholders in their efforts to address the country’s main HLP challenges are a result of the displacement crisis.
