CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC

Despite peacebuilding efforts, CAR has gotten bogged down since the 2012 crisis in a cycle of violence that has spread to several regions of the country generating growing humanitarian needs.

The civilian population is the most affected by this climate of violence. The overall situation of insecurity and instability is causing the displacement of many families to IDP camps or host families (estimated at 670,000 people in December 2019¹.)
However, populations start to return, which shows that the context has cooled down somewhat, but it is still necessary to meet the urgent needs of the host and displaced populations and to compensate for the lack of access to basic services.

Moreover, from 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic affects the country and force TGH to adapt all current programmes in order to fight against the virus through barrier measure and hygiene practices. The association has also responded to the emergence of this health crisis by developing several emergency programmes to deal with it. Water Hygiene and Sanitation (WASH) projects have been implemented in the Vakaga and Ouaka prefectures, as well as a multisectoral programme in BanguI (for which TGH is responsible for protection activities), all of which include a response aimed at combating COVID-19.

Ouaka Prefecture

Clashes between armed groups, the International Armed Forces (IAF), and the Central African Armed Forces (FACA) have led to and continue to lead to population movements. The Ouaka prefecture is home to a large number of internally displaced persons (over 30,000 according to OCHA data in May 2022).

Humanitarian needs are high, but the volatile security context often hinders actions on the ground. The province therefore presents a challenge for humanitarian actors who have to assist populations in emergency situations and accompany the displaced.

The vast majority of these displaced people (81%) are concentrated in the sub-prefecture of Bambari, where TGH teams have worked for years developing a multi-sectoral approach for the benefit of displaced populations and host communities.

In May 2022, due to a lack of funding, TGH was forced to close its operational base in Bambari, while continuing its education activities until June 2022. While the country is going through a major humanitarian crisis, funding tends to decrease. To date, the province of Ouaka and more specifically Bambari are no longer considered as humanitarian hotspots. Yet the needs are great. Despite its departure from the province, TGH continues to actively monitor the humanitarian situation and the evolution of the local context and to advocate with donors and the humanitarian community to ensure that the needs of vulnerable populations in Ouaka are met.

Bangui

According to UNICEF, if nothing is done to fight inequality, 167 million children will live in extreme poverty around the world in 2030. Many of them live on the streets, and in Bangui - although very few studies are carried out to count them - there are several thousand of them, including those moving back and forth between the house and the street.

The causes of these situations of disruption are multiple. They can be of a sociopsychological, economic or family-related origin, forced or voluntary (children driven out, abused children, lack of means of subsistence within the household, etc.).
Street children are vulnerable, exposed to multiple forms of violence, abuse by peers or adults (rape, theft, economic exploitation, etc.), and to drug use, prostitution or HIV/AIDS infection.

TGH is developing an education/protection multi-sectoral programme in Bangui.
Public measures aimed at vulnerable groups - and more particularly at children at risk - are poorly developed. The national civil society organizations mobilized on this issue have been very strongly impacted by the political, security and economic crises of recent years. They are sorely lacking in financial, material and human resources.

This is the case of the Voix du Cœur Foundation, a Central African organisation committed to the protection of street children, which participates in the rounds organised by TGH to meet children in the street. These rounds help establish a relationship of trust with social workers and initiate a process of social and family reintegration. TGH is working to strengthen the capacities of this partner, in order to gradually hand over the project.

  • Vocational training
    In order to strengthen the socio-economic opportunities of the most vulnerable young people, particularly women, and to reduce informal work among young people, TGH supports the field of vocational training through the rehabilitation and construction of vocational training centres in the Ombella M'poko and Mambéré-Kadéi prefectures, on the one hand, and the monitoring and support of young learners, firstly through literacy and refresher courses, and then through integration into vocational training courses that are both theoretical and practical, and in line with their expressed desires, on the other. In this context, TGH ensures that the training centres are equipped with suitable tools and teaching materials and supports the young learners through a system of school grants.  All these activities contribute to a better socio-professional integration of young people, especially the most vulnerable, and participate in the consolidation of peace.

Vakaga Prefecture

The Vakaga Prefecture, the geographical starting point of the Seleka rebellion in 2012, is the first region to have suffered the consequences of the crisis that still affect CAR today. The region, geographically, economically, socially and politically isolated, is neglected by the central government.
Very few public services and infrastructure are still available, and population density is very low. The security situation is certainly improving, but humanitarian needs remain very high, and few NGOs are present in the prefecture.
TGH is currently working in the sectors of Education (the only NGO working in this field), Food Security and Livelihoods and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene.

  • Education / Protection
    Two axes have been chosen to meet the overall educational needs of the Vakaga: material support (school construction) to ensure access to education in a healthy and protective environment, and human resources support (training activities for parent-teachers) to ensure quality education for all.
    An awareness session on the importance of education - especially for girls - accompanies these actions.

  • Food Security and Livelihoods
    Training on the sustainable management of natural resources is provided, particularly to beekeepers and women's groups.
    The improvement of animal health goes through veterinary centers and via vaccination campaigns, in partnership with the National Livestock Development Agency (ANDE) and the National Federation of Central African Cattle Breeders (FNEC).
    Agricultural production (market gardening and field crops) is valued to improve household incomes, for example through support for the local multiplication of groundnut, rice, sorghum and cassava seeds.

  • Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)
    The WASH component consists of activities to build and/or rehabilitate infrastructure that provides safe access to drinking water and contributes to the improvement of hygiene and sanitation conditions. These achievements are complemented by hygiene awareness and promotion activities. Also, good hygiene practices are encouraged during these awareness campaigns.
    All of these activities are carried out in villages, schools and health centres on the main and secondary roads of Vakaga, but also in Birao Centre, in the sites of displaced persons and in the return areas.

They are created from the Humanitarian Needs Overview, which provides baseline data and analysis of the intensity of the crisis and identifies the most urgent humanitarian needs.
