Cap 2007 Car 1.Pdf (English) Chiara Caccia/COOPI/Bangui/2006 Consolidated Appeals Process (CAP) The CAP is much more than an appeal for money. It is an inclusive and coordinated programme cycle of: • Strategic planning leading to a Common Humanitarian Action Plan (CHAP); • Resource mobilisation (leading to a Consolidated Appeal or a Flash Appeal); • Coordinated programme implementation; • Joint monitoring and evaluation; • Revision, if necessary; and • Reporting on results. The CHAP is a strategic plan for humanitarian response in a given country or region and includes the following elements: • A common analysis of the context in which humanitarian action takes place; • An assessment of needs; • Best, worst, and most likely scenarios; • Stakeholder analysis, i.e. who does what and where; • A clear statement of longer-term objectives and goals; • Prioritised response plans; and • A framework for monitoring the strategy and revising it if necessary. The CHAP is the foundation for developing a Consolidated Appeal or, when crises break or natural disasters strike, a Flash Appeal. Under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator, the CHAP is developed at the field level by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Country Team. This team mirrors the IASC structure at headquarters and includes UN agencies and standing invitees, i.e. the International Organization for Migration, the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, and NGOs that belong to ICVA, Interaction, or SCHR. Non-IASC members, such as national NGOs, can be included, and other key stakeholders in humanitarian action, in particular host governments and donors, should be consulted. The Humanitarian Coordinator is responsible for the annual preparation of the consolidated appeal document. The document is launched globally each November to enhance advocacy and resource mobilisation. An update, known as the Mid-Year Review, is to be presented to donors in July 2007. Donors provide resources to appealing agencies directly in response to project proposals. The Financial Tracking Service (FTS), managed by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), is a database of donor contributions and can be found on www.reliefweb.int/fts In sum, the CAP works to provide people in need the best available protection and assistance, on time.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Some facts about the Central African Republic (CAR): Almost one million struck by hostilities in the north; at least 100 villages burnt in the last year; Over 220,000 forced to flee their homes: 150,000 internally displaced; 70,000 left the CAR; Acute malnutrition at 4% and chronic malnutrition at 30% among children under five; Life expectancy is estimated at 41 years in 2007 (down from 48.7 in 1988); Maternal mortality stands at 1,355/100,000 in 2003 compared to 590/100,000 in Sudan; More than one child in five does not reach her/his fifth birthday; 17,150 infants died in 2006 due to lack of vaccination, proper nutrition, or safe drinking water; HIV prevalence of 10.7%: over 250,000 infected; over 140,000 orphans. The CAR hovers: pinched between Darfur and Chad on the one hand, with an armed rebellion and a bankrupt government on the other. A quarter of the country’s four million people are struck directly; a further million stand at the edge of risk. Regional dynamics and the success or failure of democratic consolidation and socio-economic recovery make the CAR one of the world’s most fragile yet unknown crises, and potentially a hotspot threatening international peace and security in Central Africa. Until 2005, the humanitarian drama in the CAR was one of the world’s most neglected emergencies. International attention rose in 2006 but the situation deteriorated severely in the north, leading to greater suffering there. Unless pressing humanitarian need in the north is addressed, it risks seeping south endangering current attempts at recovery. 2007 is critical for helping both those struck by waves of violence in the north and the most destitute working to re-establish their livelihoods elsewhere. It is also the year when the democratically elected government should prove its resilience. The international community therefore has an enormous role to play. This Coordinated Aid Programme, first and foremost, a joint attempt

    United Nations Nations Unies Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs UN HUMANITARIAN CHIEF: “WE CAN SAVE LIVES IN DRC BUT CONFLICT MUST END” (Kinshasa /New York /Geneva, 9 March 2011): On the first day of her visit to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, Valerie Amos, visited humanitarian projects in the North Kivu province, one of the worst affected by violence. Ms. Amos expressed her concern about the lack of protection for civilians, and emphasised the continuing need for humanitarian assistance. “The daily reality for many people in this province is immensely difficult. Armed men regularly attack villages, looting, raping, maiming, killing, kidnapping, and burning the villages before leaving,” Ms. Amos said. “This forces entire communities to live in a perpetual flight mode, relying on humanitarian assistance for their survival.” Since 2009, over half a million internally displaced people have returned to areas as they become more stable, but an even greater number have since been newly displaced elsewhere. Sexual violence, mostly committed by armed groups, remains a huge problem. Thousands of incidents are reported in North and South Kivu every year. “Sexual violence is only one symptom of a much deeper problem. Entire communities are being deprived of their right to a dignified life,” said Ms. Amos. Humanitarian operations are heavily affected by insecurity. In 2010, 200 incidents affecting humanitarian workers were recorded in the two provinces, compared to 179 during 2009. Over 80 per cent of these involved non-governmental organizations (NGOs), which are crucial partners of the United Nations in providing humanitarian aid.

    United Nations Nations Unies Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO: UN HUMANITARIAN CHIEF CALLS FOR BETTER SECURITY IN LRA- AFFECTED AREAS (Kinshasa /New York /Geneva, 10 March 2011): Valerie Amos, United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, visited Orientale Province on the last day of her visit to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Haut-Uele and Bas-Uele districts are the scene of brutalities committed by the Ugandan armed group Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). The LRA has killed nearly 2,000 civilians and abducted nearly 3,000, including an estimated 1,500 children in these districts since December 2007. In the village of Bangadi, located approximately 50 kilometres from the border with Southern Sudan, Ms. Amos heard harrowing testimonies from survivors, who had been abducted by the LRA. “The LRA continues to commit atrocities against civilians, and those who have been displaced have no prospect of going back home any time soon,” said Ms. Amos after her visit. “The LRA are brutal. They have mutilated and killed many local people, and hundreds of kidnapped children have never returned.” Only a few hundred LRA fighters are estimated to be in the DRC. But despite their relatively small number, the insecurity and humanitarian impact of their presence is enormous. The limited road access in the Uele districts renders humanitarian operations difficult and costly. The LRA has caused the displacement of almost 300,000 people in the DRC alone. In addition to the DRC, the LRA has attacked civilians in Southern Sudan and the Central African Republic (CAR), as well as in Uganda.

Ö USD 4,3 million from the Central Emergency Relief Fund (CERF) allocated for Central African refugees in southern Chad. Ö Newly-arrived refugees from Central African transferred new camp. Ö Secretary-General's Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict visits. Ö Limited health coverage in eastern Chad due to insecurity. Ö 521 children demobilised from armed groups and forces since February 2007. Ö 411 incidents of mine and unexploded explosive ordnance (UXO) recorded since 2005. Ö Consolidated Appeals Process mid-year review launched. Context Eastern Chad continues to be affected by deteriorating security with persistent bandit attacks and sporadic clashes between armed groups. On 14 May, two gendarmes working for the governmental body in charge of the security of camps (CNAR) were killed and another one injured in a bandit attack 3km from Touloum camp (Iriba). One of the bandits was arrested by the police. On 25 May, clashes between elements of armed groups in the Am Naback (Iriba) refugee camp resulted in four refugees being wounded. Since the beginning of the year, around 40 cases of attacks targeting humanitarians and partners (including five fatal cases) in eastern Chad have been registered. To minimise logistical constraints caused by the onset of the rainy season, humanitarian actors have continued to pre-position food and non-food items in their areas of intervention despite the limited resources. Needs and reponse by sector Water and sanitation Internally displaced persons (IDPs) and local populations • Aiming to improve IDPs’ sanitary conditions and to ensure that SPHERE standards are brought to the recommended level (20-30 persons per latrine), 75 double cubicle latrines have been completed in Habile, Koukou-Angarana, IDP site by the NGO Intersos.

The Conference on Climate Change in December 2010, CSW in 2011 and also the Commission on Sustainable Development. Violence against Women will sadly stay a permanent issue in our news, but it is important to keep ringing the bell. The horrifying rape of women by criminal gangs in conflict areas have become known worldwide. We see a few rays of hope and action to help and to empower our unfortunate sisters. The United Nations installed an Executive Board for UN Women and also agreed unanimously on three draft resolutions, including one on Violence against Women. The Human Rights Council asked the United States for a review of its human rights record. Interesting to read! Cholera in Haiti and an outbreak of poliomyelitis in Congo demanded immediate action. And: in Myanmar people were very happy with the freedom of Aung San Suu Kyi! INTERNATONAL ALLIANCE OF WOMEN This newsletter will reach you just before IAW delegations and Individual members are leaving for Congress in Johannesburg. Throughout the year all documentation has been well prepared and distributed by IAW Secretary Lene Pind together with general planning in collaboration with Mmbatho Ramogosi and her team in South Africa. Regrettably Lene herself will not be able to join us at Congress as she has to take it easy for a few weeks on doctor's orders.
