Central African Republic - Emergency Assistance in Mbomou - ACTED 2019

EF 2019-20 · 2019-06-06

Résumé
February 2019 - After a brief period of calm in 2016, the situation in the Central African Republic (CAR) started to deteriorate at an alarming rate in 2017. This trend continued through 2018, which saw a spike in attacks against peacekeepers and civilians alike, mass looting, widespread banditry, and territorial conflicts between armed groups. The crisis in CAR is in essence a protection crisis, with violence against civilians, particularly women and girls, and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV cases) commonplace. Approximately 40% of the population is food insecure and only 54% of the population has access to clean water. Regular violence across 80% of the country that is controlled by armed groups continues to exacerbate displacement. Currently, one quarter of the country's population is displaced, either internally or as refugees in neighbouring countries. With GAC’s support, the Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (ACTED) is providing assistance to address the urgent needs of up to 45,125 conflict-affected people in Mbomou prefecture, CAR. This project focuses on nutrition and on increasing access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities in and around health and nutrition facilities. Project activities include: (1) constructing or rehabilitating up to 7 water points; (2) training 50 health professionals on identifying and treating children suffering from severe acute malnutrition; and (3) adapt the water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure in 7 communities to support gender-responsive nutrition responses.

Description (French)
Février 2019 - Après une brève période de calme en 2016, la situation en République centrafricaine (RCA) a commencé à se détériorer à un rythme alarmant en 2017. Cette tendance s'est poursuivie en 2018, avec une recrudescence des attaques contre les soldats de la paix et les civils, des pillages de masse, un banditisme généralisé et des conflits territoriaux entre groupes armés. La crise en RCA est essentiellement une crise de protection, la violence contre les civils, en particulier les femmes et les filles, et la violence sexuelle et sexiste (cas de VSBG) étant monnaie courante. Environ 40 % de la population est en situation d'insécurité alimentaire et seulement 54 % de la population a accès à l'eau potable. La violence régulière dans 80 % du pays, qui est contrôlé par des groupes armés, continue d'exacerber les déplacements de population. Actuellement, un quart de la population du pays est déplacé, soit à l'intérieur du pays, soit en tant que réfugiés dans les pays voisins. Avec le soutien d'AMC, l'Agence de coopération technique et de développement (ACTED) fournit une assistance pour répondre aux besoins urgents de 45 125 personnes touchées par le conflit dans la préfecture de Mbomou, en RCA. Ce projet se concentre sur la nutrition et sur l'amélioration de l'accès à l'eau potable, aux installations sanitaires et d'hygiène dans et autour des centres de santé et de nutrition. Les activités du projet comprennent : (1) construire ou réhabiliter jusqu'à 7 points d'eau ; (2) former 50 professionnels de la santé à l'identification et au traitement des enfants souffrant de malnutrition aiguë sévère ; et (3) adapter les infrastructures d'eau, d'assainissement et d'hygiène dans 7 communautés pour soutenir des réponses nutritionnelles tenant compte des besoins des deux sexes.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased access for the most vulnerable populations to safe drinking water, sanitation facilities and hygiene supplies; and (2) improved therapeutic support for those suffering from severe acute malnutrition. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in Mbomou, CAR.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats attendus de ce projet sont les suivants : (1) un meilleur accès des populations les plus vulnérables à l'eau potable, aux installations sanitaires et aux produits d'hygiène ; et (2) un meilleur soutien thérapeutique pour les personnes souffrant de malnutrition aiguë sévère. Le résultat final escompté est de sauver des vies, d'atténuer les souffrances et de préserver la dignité humaine à Mbomou, en RCA.
