KEY DEVELOPMENTS
Insecurity—including clashes among armed groups and attacks against humanitarian personnel and assets—in Central African Republic (CAR) continues to result in population displacement and hinder the delivery of life-saving humanitarian assistance. In mid-June, armed actors attacked a Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) humanitarian convoy in Kémo Prefecture, resulting in the death of one MSF staff member.
Since early June, USAID/OFDA has provided more than $15 million in additional humanitarian assistance for the emergency response in CAR, bringing total U.S. Government (USG) support in FY 2016 to more than $95 million.
As of August 9, international donors had provided more than $112 million— approximately 21 percent—toward the nearly $532 million requested by the 2016 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) for CAR. 2016 HRP funding aims to support an estimated 1.9 million vulnerable people, including internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities, across CAR between January and December.
