Bangui 20 January 2021 - The Humanitarian Coordinator in the Central African Republic, Denise Brown, isextremely concerned about the sustained disruptions that have occurred on the country’s main supply road(MSR1) connecting the capital Bangui with both the country and the closest port, in Cameroon, as a result ofincreased armed violence.
“Current constraints on an already fragile food supply are again driving up the price of basic food commodities.Monday’s attack on a convoy of 30 trucks, that included 5 trucks carrying vital humanitarian supplies, resulted inserious injuries for three drivers is totally unacceptable”, declared the Humanitarian Coordinator.
The price of some staples, such as oil, fish, meat and onions, have, in some places, increased by over 50 per cent.Even cassava, the country’s main staple, has seen increases of 57 per cent in rural towns. Shortages of fuel arereported in several towns in the country. Over a third of the population, 1.9 million people, face high levels ofacute food insecurity and people are unable to meet their basic food needs.
The disruption of the MSR1 supply route prevents the safe and timely delivery of vital aid, but also of commercialgoods with a large share of the country’s good being imported. Over 1,600 trucks are estimated to be stuck at theborder with Cameroon, including 500 trucks with critical UN and partners’ supplies, such as food, medicines, andnon-food items. These vital transports have been unable to proceed since mid-December 2020.
“The impact on the protection and well-being of innocent civilians is devastating. The affected population needsour assistance today more than ever and cannot wait any longer. I appeal to all concerned stakeholders to continueworking together and find an urgent solution in the best interest of those who suffer the most”, stated Mrs. Brown.
In 2021, 2.8 million people – more than half of the population –need humanitarian assistance and protection. Sinceviolence and tensions broke out in connection with the general elections in December, nearly 200,000 people havebeen newly displaced inside the country; half of those have returned and some 100,000 remain displaced.
AGORA then facilitated Round tables with local and international stakeholders to develop neighbourhood-level response plans, with joint priorities and response actions. The response plans allow for a shared understanding among local and international actors of the needs of affected populations as well as of response capacities of local and international actors at the neighbourhood level.
AGORA worked closely with the Mayor of Bangui and OCHA to then establish a city-level coordination body, which is inclusive of local and international actors and of all sectors, to facilitate an operational coordination of all relevant actors working on the returns in Bangui. Chaired by the Mayor of Bangui, this coordination mechanism is currently enabling a more integrated and sustainable response in the city of Bangui, including through neighbourhood-level coordination bodies for the areas witnessing the biggest return.
This pilot area-based approach is part of a global AGORA program, funded by EU Humanitarian Aid, and aiming to test field-level practices to area-based coordination and response in urban contexts.
La cartographie des zones susceptibles d’inondation à Dédougou, réalisée en septembre 2024, constitue un exemple concret de l''utilisation du processus d’analyse hiérarchique (Analytic Hierarchy Process, AHP) combiné aux Systèmes d’Information Géographique (SIG) pour la gestion des risques de catastrophes naturelles. Cette approche permet d''identifier les zones les plus vulnérables aux inondations dans la commune […]

In July 2024, our Colombia team went to Putumayo to present the findings of our most recent area-based assessment. Located in southern Colombia, Putumayo has long been affected by armed conflict due to its strategic location for non-state armed groups. The assessment investigated the population’s experience in the face of multiple shocks: armed violence, […]
REACH Moldova conducted an area-based assessment (ABA) in Anenii Noi in May-June 2023 to identify the primary needs of different demographics in the selected communities, assess the availability and accessibility of essential services, such as healthcare or education, and evaluate social cohesion among refugees and hosts. The assessment found that both refugees and the host […]
Agriculture plays a vital role in Moldova’s economy, making it highly susceptible to the impacts of drought and climate change. The country has grappled with severe drought conditions since 2021, posing significant threats to its agricultural productivity. The Anenii Noi region, renowned for its fertile chernozem soils, is particularly vulnerable. These nutrient-rich soils are crucial […]
