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.

COORDINATED AID PROGRAMME FOR CAR 2007

1. 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 by non-governmental organisations and United Nations agencies (most recently referred to as the Humanitarian Community Partnership Team or HCPT) to alleviate suffering and address dire human need. At the same time it aims to address the link between suffering and survival; it engages the hopes of people for a brighter future as espoused by the Millennium Development Goals. Aid agencies working in the Coordinated Aid Programme are accountable to people, and sensitive to the need to reinforce local and national capacities and reduce risk.

The Government and the aid community have agreed on four strategic priorities: improving human security by alleviating suffering; providing assistance and protection to internally displaced persons; enhancing local capacities with particular attention to risk reduction; and improving coordination. Humanitarian organisations plan to give life-saving assistance for up to one million people in the CAR: food; drinking water; health services and supplies; shelter; and non-food items. A further one million people can benefit from programmes aimed at self-sufficiency, such as basic education and the re- establishment of rule of law. Humanitarian organisations will work with the national Government to achieve this, and will draw on the advice of the international community, including the Bretton Woods institutions. Results will be measured, publicised, analysed, and used to improve future response. In sum, this Coordinated Aid Programme offers a results-based investment in the present and in the future.

Non-governmental organisations and United Nations agencies participating in this Coordinated Aid Programme now require $49.51 million for 59 projects, and donors are asked to provide funding as soon as possible.

New hopes for humanitarian response: • From two international non-governmental organisations in 2005 to eight in 2006; • From five donors giving $9.8 million in 2005 to ten donors providing $22.3 million by 15 November 2006; • Given the sub-regional dynamics, closer coordination in 2007 between the CAR, Chad, and Sudan.

July 2006. Over 27,160 bundles of cassava and more than 25 tonnes of cereals were delivered to around 200 groups of farmers (including 3,000 producers in the conflict-affected areas). In addition, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) also distributed 10,950 hoes, 12,610 machetes, 2,665 axes, 1,100 rakes, 500 watering cans and other tools. • Improvement of the nutritional situation through In 2006, FAO distributed 20 metric tonnes of corn food assistance to beneficiaries. and rice seeds, and 30,000 cuttings of healthy cassava material to 15,000 beneficiaries in the north-western region. Hoes, machetes, axes, rakes, and watering cans were also distributed. This supported a visible increase in cassava production and reduced high incidence of cassava disease (mosaic) in the region. • Contribution to the economic autonomy of Through various actions amongst beneficiary communities. communities, including the Special Programme for Food Security and emergency operations, FAO helped increase income at the household level, and therefore contribute to the economic autonomy of communities concerned. • Enhanced access by women to instruction and As a result of insufficient funds, activities related to training. this objective could not be implemented.

2 Statistics come from relevant UN agencies. Financial data comes from the Financial Tracking Service (FTS), available at http://www.reliefweb.int/fts, as of 15 November 2006. 3 Much discussion has taken place throughout 2006 about sectors and clusters. In the case of CAR, the HCPT believes that the most important issues are indeed clear leadership and accountability regarding humanitarian response, including clarity on the “provider of last resort”. The HCPT has applied those important aspects while keeping the word “sector”.

FOOD AID • Survival of the most vulnerable groups. In April 2006, WFP started emergency food distributions to 16,000 vulnerable and displaced people in the northwest (Markounda area) through the Italian NGO COOPI. In a similar operation started in September 2006, 25,000 vulnerable and displaced people received emergency food rations in the northwest region of Paoua. Over 32,000 persons infected or affected by Human Immuno-deficiency Virus/ Acquired Immuno-Deficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) received WFP food assistance in 2006. HEALTH • Reduce by 1-5% maternal and infant mortality While this objective is hard to evaluate over a short rate, through the provision of care for period, progress has been noticed: improved health obstetrical and neonatal emergencies. facilities to manage obstetric and neonatal care (20 centres equipped with obstetric kits and three ambulances); improved staff competencies (30 health workers including six women trained in emergency obstetric and neonatal care). • Improve the performance of health services in The capacities to conduct outbreak investigation, the country. and health information management, have been improved through logistic support to the Ministry of Health (MoH) (provision of vehicle, data collection tools, and computer equipment). • Improve vaccination coverage of children Two rounds (out of three planned) of the under-five and pregnant women. acceleration of the immunisation campaign have significantly increased the coverage of children under-five: measles coverage has improved from 32% to 83% (target 2006: 75%), Diphtheria/Pertussis/Tetanus3 (DPT3) from 28% to 63% (target 2006: 64%), yellow fever vaccine from 28% to 74% (target 2006: 75%). • Reinforce capacities for the prevention and Prevention Voluntary Counselling and Testing care of the co-infection of HIV/AIDS and (VCT) units for HIV/AIDS have increased from 11 tuberculosis. to 21 across the country. • Improve access to Anti-Retrovirus (ARV) 12 additional ARV treatment centres for HIV/AIDS treatment (in compliance with the CAR’s “3x5” have been set up in 2006, reaching a total of 21 strategy) ARV centres in the country.

SECTOR OBJECTIVES FOR 2006 EVALUATION • Improve psychosocial care to victims of Sexual More than 3,500 victims (of whom 3,255 women) and Gender Based Violence (SGBV). identified through rapid assessments in five prefectures and Bangui. Among them, 253 survivors of SGBV were treated and supported; 30 health workers (of whom six female) trained on the management of SGBV medical and psychological care; drugs donated to eight health centres/hospitals and 40 community leaders (of whom four women) sensitised on SGBV issues through eight established community leaders committees; Eight SGBV self-managed committees established and mobilised for income generating activities to support their own medical care. MULTI-SECTOR ASSISTANCE TO REFUGEES, REPATRIATES AND IDPS • Encourage the return of CAR refugees from The deterioration of the security situation in the Chad. CAR led to a further population movement of 18,000 refugees to Chad, as well as internal displacement of another 150,000 persons. Under such circumstances, the return of CAR refugees was not feasible. • Implementation of a comprehensive protection This objective was introduced in the 2006 Mid-Year strategy for Internally Displaced Persons Review in response to the forced internal (IDPs) in northern CAR. displacement of an initial 50,000 civilians in the prefectures of Ouham and Ouham-Pendé. United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has established a presence in Bossangoa, covering these two prefectures. A sensitisation campaign for national and local authorities has been launched, with a special focus on the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement. In addition, UNHCR has started to establish a monitoring mechanism for IDPs’ rights violations and provide follow-up on reported protection incidents. • Launch the voluntary repatriation of Sudanese Between February and April 2006, when the border refugees from the CAR. between the CAR and Sudan was officially closed, UNHCR repatriated 2,115 refugees (of which 1,046 female) to South Sudan. • Provide multi-sector assistance to Sudanese This objective was also introduced in the Mid-Year refugees in Mboki settlement.

Funding patterns: As of 15 November 2006, the 2006 appeal was 59% funded in the amount of $22 million (a figure that rises to $24 million or 64% of requirements, taking into account pledges totalling $1.9 million), by ten donors.4 The new Central Funding per sector Emergency Response Fund Education Food (CERF) and in particular its 0% 40% component to support under- Coordination And funded emergencies played Support Services an important role in this, with 3% donations totalling $4.9 Agriculture million.

Multi-sector activities for refugees received substantial funding (40%). By contrast, zero funding was received by the education sector, which resulted in continued lack of education for nearly 100,000 children in the most conflict-affected areas.

7 COORDINATED AID PROGRAMME FOR CAR 2007

Overall assessment: Humanitarian organisations made incomplete progress towards achieving their objectives presented in the 2006 appeal.

Humanitarian activity became more challenging due to several factors: Local and national actors with limited capacity; Serious shortage of international and local NGOs, and under-staffing in existing UN agencies; Operations made difficult and expensive by the country’s topography and lack of infrastructure; Operations made increasingly difficult and risky by a worsening security situation; Poor mechanisms for the collection and sharing of information; Modest levels of funding. In response to the difficulties encountered, UN agencies, together with other humanitarian organisations and the Government, revised a number of their objectives in the 2006 Mid-Year Review of the Appeal and cut requirements by over $7 million.

In 2006, humanitarian action has achieved significant accomplishments that can be summarised as follows: • Much human suffering has been avoided, and lives were saved, thanks to emergency assistance such as food aid, NFIs, and medical services and supplies, including vaccinations; • Emergency repairs helped re-open health centres (including the Paoua hospital in one of the most conflict-devastated areas, rehabilitated thanks to the local presence of Médecins Sans Frontières - France (MSF-F) and Médecins Sans Frontières – Holland (MSF-H); while 138 health workers received training; • Although no school buildings were rehabilitated, and no teachers trained, the school environment was improved at 247 schools, thanks to the installation of latrines, the introduction of school canteens, and the provision of drinking water; • Through support to the national education and health institutions humanitarian action contributed to the country’s recovery in areas where violence did not rage anew; • Protection has been provided to individuals and communities in need, and in particular to some 22,500 refugees and 50,000 IDPs,7 over 400,000 children including orphans, over 200,000 people infected or affected by HIV/AIDS, and 90% 80% prisoners.

While it is hard to prove how people’s needs would have evolved in the absence of humanitarian assistance, available data suggest that the operations of humanitarian organisations in 2006 have: • Saved at least 50,000 lives by providing food, including lives saved from diseases that would likely have resulted from malnutrition; • Saved at least 200,000 lives by providing medical services and supplies, as well as drinking water and sanitation products; • Protected an estimated 120,000 lives through measles vaccination, which is likely to have prevented the death of up to 18,000 children;8 • Enabled 90,609 children (of whom 38,379 girls), to benefit from improved schooling conditions; • Enabled at least 90,000 people in extreme need of protection to enjoy adequate protection.

Through their actions, humanitarian organisations played a key role in supporting risk reduction and conflict prevention, a cross-cutting priority essential to prevent further loss of life and suffering, and to protect the development achievements made.

In addition, humanitarian organisations in the country have heard that their presence in the most conflict-affected areas (including the areas around the towns of Boguila, Markounda, and Paoua), has contributed to deterring and reducing human right violations, including attacks by armed groups. This view contributes to a belief, that in the absence of such humanitarian action, instability and insecurity – on top of causing death - would further threaten the already fragile social and economic equilibria of the country’s most conflict-affected areas. Almost inevitably, this would have had adverse repercussions for the peace and security of the country and the sub-region, as well as damaging prospects for economic recovery.

Lessons: 1) Humanitarian organisations recognise some shortcomings in 2006. They will strive to improve their effectiveness in 2007: Projects that are based on professional tools such the Needs Analysis Framework; Greater cohesion and coordination among all humanitarian organisations, and closer cooperation with the national Government and local institutions; An approach that aims to develop local capacities, Reintegration of former combatants by option while at the same time benefiting from those enhanced local capacities for joint operations; Increased efforts to draw international attention on the situation in the CAR and its impact on the sub-region, notably through the international media; and to encourage donors, additional NGOs, and other relevant actors to become more involved.

2) Cross-cutting issues, including human rights, gender, and HIV/AIDS, have to be given special priority in the CAR context because they can help save lives and improve dignity.

3) In 2006, the identity of and synergy between humanitarian action and development aid was not very clear or strong. In a country where both domains are crucial it is evermore important to ensure close collaboration between organisations engaged in humanitarian action and more focused on development.

4) Given the endurance or even the amplification of key risk factors (such as insecurity) that have led to humanitarian emergencies, particular attention must be paid to risk reduction: • Conflict prevention is of paramount importance: efforts must be made to mitigate those factors at the root of humanitarian problems, i.e. political instability and related insecurity; • Natural disaster prevention also deserves attention. For example, emergency repairs to parts of the drainage system in Bangui will help avert annual floods; • Contingency planning must play a key role in alleviating the consequences of any human-made or natural disaster, which may occur despite risk reduction efforts. For example, pre-positioning medical stocks and NFIs to be quickly deployed in an emergency can save lives; while continuous epidemiological surveillance can often be the only way to avert humanitarian catastrophe in the health sector.

3. THE 2007 COMMON HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN

3.1 THE CONTEXT AND ITS HUMANITARIAN CONSEQUENCES Violence rages anew in northern CAR, coming on top of a decade of deep structural crisis. Ten years of recurrent coups and mutinies have resulted in the destruction of state institutions and infrastructure, and shattered much of the economy. Despite positive steps towards stability after the elections of 2005, armed conflict erupted in the north of the country. Increased insecurity and political instability brought over one million people across the line from poverty to humanitarian emergency. They now have dire needs, often life-threatening.

A durable solution to the country’s problems Millions $22 requires an integrated approach comprising: $24 humanitarian aid (the object of this CAP), $22 $20 reestablishment of security, and $18 development. Following the installation of $16 the current Government in 2005, the UN $14 $10 finalised in 2006 a Development Assistance $12 $10 Framework (UNDAF) for 2007-2011, and $8 worked with the Government in order to $6 $4 $3 elaborate a Poverty Reduction Strategy $4 Paper (PRSP). Meanwhile, both $2 humanitarian and development aid will have $0 2003 2004 2005 2006 to pay close attention to risk reduction activities, including conflict prevention, through actions aimed at (a) supporting a socio-political climate not conducive to conflict; (b) help create sector-specific conditions not favourable to natural disaster; (c) ensuring the establishment of early warning and rapid response mechanisms to counter natural and human-made emergencies that may occur.

If funding continues to improve in 2007, it may be possible to gradually reverse the consequences of the emergency in the north. Unless humanitarian problems are addressed today, hopes for development could be lost. There can be no economic self-sufficiency if children remain illiterate; and an unhealthy population is unlikely to succeed in rebuilding national institutions, or in consolidating democracy.

Insecurity is at the same time the main cause and a major consequence of the prevailing emergency. The reestablishment of security is essential to successfully address humanitarian needs and fruitfully embark on recovery and development.

The current situation presents elements similar to those prevailing just before the mutinies of 1996, such as worsening criminality (widespread banditry and “coupeurs de route” and the existence of armed groups who attack and loot villages), and political and military violence (increasingly frequent clashes between the armed forces and other armed groups). Less than one year after its Armed men on the Paoua-Béboura road hold up an installation, the Government spoke in March 2006 of the NGO vehicle (OCHA / near Béboura / 2006). existence of a rebellion, particularly active in the north- western areas already devastated by the conflict of 2002-2003 (prefectures of Bamingui-Bangoran, Nana-Gribizi, Ouham, Ouham-Pendé, Vakaga). Civilians are caught in recurrent rounds of violence. At least 100 villages were burnt. It is estimated that 170,000 people,9 i.e. 16% of the population of the five prefectures most affected, have fled from violence, hunger, and disease, since September 2005.

Politics

In the capital the political situation remains steady with the Government in place. A process towards the consolidation of legitimacy is underway, based on national dialogue and on a new constitution that came into force in December 2004. Much work remains ahead, including in the judicial domain.

The Government has worked towards rebuilding military and civilian institutions. But available resources to respond to security challenges remain insufficient. In remote areas of the country institutional control is very limited. When armed groups started attacking northern areas in December 2005, the initial reaction of local CAR authorities was to move away. In some cases, order was sometime re-established only thanks to external support. While in 2006 the CAR army gradually improved its control over the territory - with the support of the Multinational Force in CAR - armed groups frequently took control of towns and villages. The fact that north-eastern CAR has become a haven for various armed groups – from common bandits to armed movements fighting in neighbouring countries – is a major concern for the peace and security of the sub-region.

Economy and infrastructure

Despite rampant insecurity, the national economy shows signs of recovery. That said, the country is among the world’s poorest, with 73% of the population living on less than one dollar per day (up from 66% in 1995).10 The CAR is the world’s seventh least developed country, with an external debt that amounts to around 80% of its Gross Domestic Product.11 Discussions are underway with the Bretton Woods institutions and the African Development Bank on the payment of debt arrears, the elimination of foreign debt (73% of CAR’s foreign debt is owed to International Financial Institutions [IFIs])12, and their re-engagement in the country. In October 2006, the World Bank (WB) approved a grant of $6.8 million support basic services and public financial management in the CAR.

The country’s mineral and agricultural resources abound. But this has yet failed to have a significant impact on the economy, dominated by subsistence farming, low domestic and international commerce, and very low Investment.

The lack of infrastructure does not favour recovery. Landlocked, with the capital Bangui nearly 900 kilometres from the nearest coast, and with only 700 kilometres of paved roads and one scheduled flight to Europe per week, the CAR remains very isolated. Where not destroyed, the water, electricity, and communication systems are all in the basic stages. With the state paying salaries to civil servants with delays averaging eight months (without counting unpaid arrears relating to the periods before the current administration), a rapid recovery of public services is difficult to foresee.

Demography and society 13

Average life expectancy in the CAR is dropping: from 48.7 years in 1988 and 42.7 in 2003 to an estimated 41 years in 2007. Every year, Central Africans die 4.8 months younger. Notably, over one child in five does not reach her/his fifth birthday.

Over 50% of the territory of CAR is sparsely inhabited. Over 30% of the population is concentrated in Bangui and the northwest. In the remotest areas of the northeast, density is among the lowest of the continent, at one per square kilometre. There are high levels of transhumance and migration, originating from economic reasons, and since late 2005 due to insecurity.

The repercussions of the country’s structural crisis on the social tissue are profound. Over 57% of people are illiterate, reaching 82% among rural women. Over 45% never enjoyed any type of education, and primary school-attendance rates dropped from 47.8% in 1988 to 40.7% in 2003. Official unemployment rates stood in 2003 at a national average of 7.6% in 2003, reaching 21.1% in Bangui – a figure that can only have worsened with increased insecurity. Child labour in 2003 ranged from 5.2% among male children aged six to nine, to 29.2% among female children aged 15 to 17.

3.1.B The Humanitarian Consequences

IDPs and refugees

Since the last months of 2005 and mostly during 2006, New humanitarian presence in 2006 in 14 the most IDP-affected areas around 150,000 people have become internally displaced Batangafo: MSF-E. as a consequence of insecurity, notably in the country’s Boguila: MSF-H. north-western areas, while 18,000 more were forced to flee Bossangoa: UNHCR, UNICEF. into Chad. Today, 50,000 CAR refugees remain in Chad, Markounda: COOPI, MSF-H. mainly in camps managed by UNHCR, and 20,000 in Paoua: COOPI, ICRC, MSF-F. Cameroon.15

IDPs in the CAR have mostly fled to the wilderness near their villages. Access of IDPs to food and clean water is limited and likely to deteriorate in the near future. They are in dire need of protection, as they are often the main victims of violence. Several HCPT missions have confirmed that IDPs are also in urgent need of food, NFIs, potable water and sanitation, medical care and supplies, and education. In order to meet these new needs, several NGOs and UN agencies have established presence in the northwest in 2006 (see box).

Refugees in the CAR also remain in need of assistance. Among the 10,000 Sudanese refugees in Mboki, 5,000 Refugee orphans from the DRC, resettled in faced a precarious food situation in 2006, which UNHCR 2006, have lunch at a UNHCR guesthouse addressed by providing emergency food aid. About 3,500 (Nicolas Rost / UNHCR / Bangui / 2006) DRC refugees also live in the CAR.

Food security

Entire harvesting seasons were lost in many regions of the northwest for up to four consecutive years, and agricultural activities have yet been unable to recover. Given the very low levels of commerce, this has disastrous implications for the agricultural production and food security of the local populations. Food security continues to suffer from a regression in production, predicament in breeding (partly caused by the exodus of breeders), and low purchasing power.

The cassava production, already affected by African mosaic disease, has been increased since the introduction of new productive and healthy material (vitroplants) as a result of the large dissemination of this genotype through 27,160 cuttings (cassava) distributed to vulnerable groups. These efforts will be pursued and improved based on the CAP 2007, focusing mainly on poorest farmers, thus providing them with vegetables and cereal seeds.

Malnutrition reached alarming levels among children under five in the most conflict-affected areas: 30% suffer from chronic malnutrition, and 4% from severe malnutrition.16 Unless agricultural production is revitalised, and emergency food aid is also provided, lack of food can lead to disaster.

In 2006 over 70,000 people, mostly IDPs, became in acute need of food and risked starvation around the towns of Markounda and Paoua.17 Catastrophe was averted thanks to delivery of food from WFP, implemented by COOPI with Caritas and the national Red Cross Society as local partners – an effort complemented by MSF who delivered medical services, along with NFIs provided by UNICEF.

Health

The displacements of 2006 seriously affected health. In the areas most severely affected by conflict, increasing numbers live in extremely precarious conditions away from their homes, exposed to potentially epidemic diseases (such as shigellosis, measles, malaria, salmonellas, and cholera).

12 COORDINATED AID PROGRAMME FOR CAR 2007

Maternal and infant health are particularly threatened by the shortage of means to prevent diseases transmissible during childhood (vaccination coverage for such diseases stands at less than 50%), and by the weakness of maternal health programmes. In 2003, maternal mortality stood at 1,355 per 100,000 (compared to 510 in the Republic of Congo, and 590 in Sudan), and infant mortality (those aged below one) stood in 2003 at 132 per thousand, meaning that 17,150 infants die in the CAR every year.18 With the spread of HIV estimated at 10.7% in age group 15-49, and 250,000 people infected, The CAR is the country most severely affected by HIV in the sub-region. Around 24,000 people died of AIDS, and over 140,000 children were left orphans.19

Because of its geographic location, every year CAR suffers a resurgence of meningitis. Similar high risks are posed by endemic-epidemic diseases like shigellosis and trypanosomiasis (commonly known as sleeping sickness), rife in the north. During the rainy season between April and September (which often involves floods), there is an increased risk of diarrheic diseases and malaria. As part of risk reduction efforts, the support to local health institutions in their surveillance of possible epidemics should be a priority.

Water and sanitation

The decreasing availability of water and sanitation facilities has significantly amplified pre-existing concerns: poor access to, and poor quality of, available water; and under-utilisation of latrines. In most locations, the water found is acid (very low pH).

Until 2000, several organisations including German Agency for Technical Cooperation (GTZ) / German Development Bank (KFW), and UNICEF, were instrumental in the establishment of facilities throughout the northern regions. Through their programmes, they installed 304 hand pumps. Most of these facilities have since been damaged. There is still very limited information on the current level of access to such facilities and very few actors are operational in the sector: UNICEF, International Child Development Initiative (ICDI) (in the Berbérati area) and International Partnership for Human Development ( IPHD) (in the Bambari and Kaga-Bandoro areas). In the prefectures of Basse-Kotto and Mbomou, International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is currently carrying out a pilot programme to rehabilitate six traditional wells, build nine boreholes, and construct 30 latrines. Meanwhile, COOPI had plans in 2006 to work in this domain in Bamingui-Bangoran, Haut Mboumou, and Vakaga. Due to heightened insecurity, which increased dramatically the cost of these activities, the program could not be implemented.

Shelter and non-food items

The lack of essential NFIs has a direct and very tangible impact on life. Lack of impregnated mosquito nets and hygiene supplies such as soap can lead to death; while a lack of clothing is directly related to low school attendance. In July 2006, a joint United Nations Country Team (UNCT) rapid assessment mission to the northwest, showed that shelter and NFIs (in particular blankets and clothing) were among the highest needs among IDPs. The floods of 2005 and the displacements of 2006, proved that pre-positioning of NFIs can save lives and alleviate suffering. The acquisition and stocking of NFIs is a priority for risk reduction in the CAR.

Education

The education sector, seriously damaged since 2003, further declined in 2006. Infrastructure and equipment were largely looted or destroyed, and many teachers quit their jobs following the 2002- 2003 civil strife. In 2005, this had left 367,472 children (of whom 207,304 girls) without any education, and 282,571 (of whom 113,374 girls) with precarious education, teachers being often replaced by unprofessional parents-teachers. A total of 117 schools were closed in 2005. An even higher number (estimates are not available) were closed in 2006 due to insecurity. With the displacements of 2006, over 30,000 school-aged children have left their home and are living in the bush with their parents, without any access to education.20

3.2 SCENARIOS To facilitate planning of humanitarian operations for 2007, humanitarian organisations and members of the Government developed three scenarios at the workshop of September 2006 that led to the formulation of this CAP. Contingency planning is based on the worst possible scenario; the objectives and actions proposed for each sector in this CAP respond to the scenario that humanitarian organisations believe is most likely to prevail during 2007.

3.3 STRATEGIC PRIORITIES FOR HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE

Strategic priority of humanitarian action Humanitarian action in 2007 will: promote human security of those affected by conflict and IDPs in particular; reinforce capacities of local and national actors including civil society to lead humanitarian action and future development, including risk reduction; and strengthen coordination.

Strategic priorities for humanitarian action in the CAR were the object of discussion at the three-day workshop in September 2006 that led to the formulation of this CAP. The national Government, donor representatives, UN agencies, the RCRCM, local and international NGOs, agreed on four cross-sector priorities to become the backbone of humanitarian action for the coming year. 1. Promote human security, in particular: • Food security (agriculture / alimentation); • Health; • Physical security; • Judicial security (human rights / protection); • Basic education; • The reduction of risk (natural as well as human-made disasters). 2. Provide protection and assistance to IDPs in the northern provinces, with a view to reducing human rights violations, and ensuring food security and minimal survival conditions. This would also contribute to the creation of conditions conducive for the eventual return of refugees from Chad and Cameroon. 3. Reinforce local and national capacities, and encourage the participation of civil society, in order to better prevent and respond to humanitarian emergencies, and support development, while working for risk reduction and conflict prevention. 4. Reinforce and integrate coordination mechanisms (including for the collection, analysis and dissemination of data) among Government, donors, the UN, the RCRCM, and NGOs, in order to efficiently respond to the humanitarian needs.

The formulation of these priorities was based, among other factors, on (a) the realisation that a long- term solution to the country’s problems will not be possible, unless immediate humanitarian action works in a way that complements, rather than substitutes for, the development of local capacities; and (b) a recognition that lack of systematic coordination mechanisms, in particular for collecting, analysing, and disseminating information, is a major obstacle to planning and implementing humanitarian action.

The four strategic priorities come to life in this CAP’s response plans: the HCPT ensured that there is a logical link between strategic priorities, sector objectives, and project activities (please see strategic framework in Chapter VI).

Complementarities with other initiatives

The driving force behind humanitarian Addressing people’s needs action is the imperative to alleviate suffering and save lives. At the same NATIONAL IMPACT time, by carefully formulating the (Progress towards MDGs) aforementioned priorities, the HCPT has ensured that humanitarian action in 2007 can add value to existing UNDAF PRSP efforts at promoting the country’s development, notably through the UNDAF and PRSP. Humanitarian Emergency & early action can play an important role in recovery needs of conflict affected enhancing socio-political stability and people building capacities for future development, while reducing risk and CAP preventing renewed conflict.

Complementarities between CAP, UNDAF, PRSP, and progress towards meeting the MDGs.

15 COORDINATED AID PROGRAMME FOR CAR 2007

The CAP, UNDAF, and the PRSP, work together to help put the CAR back on her feet: through immediate humanitarian aid, on the path of recovery, and eventually towards efforts aimed at development (see Annex VI).

Risk reduction and conflict prevention

Meanwhile, the cross-cutting imperative of risk reduction and conflict prevention permeate the programmes of the CAP and the UNDAF. Risk reduction in the CAR includes: • Conflict prevention: action aimed at attaining those conditions in the political and socio-economic domains, which will be conducive to political and social stability, thereby reducing the risks of human-made disaster caused by political or ordinary violence; • Early warning and contingency preparedness: in order to respectively (a) reduce the likelihood, and (b) limit the adverse effects of natural disasters such as floods, food shortages, and epidemics. These are essential in avoiding loss of life, and protecting property and livelihoods.

The first aspect is the most salient in the CAR. Support to the democratically elected institutions and the judiciary in particular, contributing to the reform of the military, and promoting the involvement of civil society in administering the country are all ways in which humanitarian aid reduces risk. This is essential to stability and eventually to economic recovery, which are in turn essential to good governance and democratic consolidation – two key elements to reducing the likelihood of conflict.

Without adequate support to save lives and alleviate the humanitarian conditions of those most in need, to defend human rights and promote rule of law, or to strengthen national and local institutions, the CAR could become poorer and more unstable. It could slide back into conflict, with disastrous implications not only for the country and its population, but for an entire region already affected by high volatility and devastated by recurrent rounds of warfare.

Risk reduction is more cost-effective than post-disaster response. Every effort must be made, to use humanitarian assistance in such a way that risks and future vulnerabilities will be minimised, as this is a small investment that can save a lot of money in future.

3.4 RESPONSE PLANS The programmes in this CAP address ten sectors: coordination and support services, economic recovery, education, food security, health, multi-sector assistance to refugees, protection / human rights / rule of law, security of staff and operations, shelter and NFIs, and water and sanitation. Each sector summary indicates the number of beneficiaries that the sector programme aims to reach. In an effort to enhance accountability to people in need, and to strengthen gender-based programming, sector leads have disaggregated data. Overviews of the identified needs, current activities of the humanitarian community, the sector objectives, proposed action, and the indicators to measure the extent to which objectives are met then follow.

Analysis of needs Humanitarian organisations in the CAR are few and under-staffed. There are currently seven UN agencies and eight international NGOs (six of them arrived in late 2005 or 2006), as well as the ICRC and the French Red Cross (FRC). Some of these organisations face a serious shortage of staff. Funding for most of these organisations has been modest. Meanwhile, local humanitarian organisations such as the Central African Red Cross (CARC) have very limited resources; they are determined and merit support.

These limitations add to the challenges of addressing humanitarian needs in the CAR. In the coordination sector, priority needs can be resumed as follows: • In a situation of few actors with limited resources, close coordination is essential for the success of humanitarian planning and operations; • Technical data and reliable indicators are a rare commodity in the CAR. The limited capacity of Government in information management, coupled with the small number of actors present complicates data collection, analysis, and dissemination; • It is necessary to have additional humanitarian organisations in the country; • There is a high need for existing and new humanitarian organisations to broaden their donor base, and a related need to step up advocacy efforts on the humanitarian issues affecting CAR; • Inter-agency coordination is also essential to address a key problem: travel of humanitarian staff and goods is made extremely difficult and expensive by the lack of infrastructure, the near-total absence of logistics service providers, and the sheer size and difficult terrain of the country. Increasing insecurity has added to these difficulties since late 2005. This analysis leads to objectives in the domain of strategic and operational coordination, including advocacy and information management, as well as logistic support.

Objectives: 1. Improved knowledge of humanitarian needs through information and communication tools; 2. To promote greater cohesion and joint operations among all humanitarian organisations; 3. To advocate on behalf of humanitarian organisations and the people they protect and assist; 4. To support humanitarian action by providing common services, in the domain of logistics and transport, communication, and information management (including map products).

1 7 COORDINATED AID PROGRAMME FOR CAR 2007

Proposed action In pursuit of the above objectives, the HCPT (comprising UN entities, RCRCM, national and international NGOs) will work closely and cohesively, with OCHA supporting coordination. Priority activities will be as follows: • To support improved knowledge of the humanitarian situation by collecting and disseminating information. This will enable humanitarian organisations to provide appropriate information to donors, allowing them to make informed decisions about funding and priorities, and to other interested entities that can join efforts for humanitarian action in the country; • To distribute available information, including financial data, to humanitarian organisations, donors, and other relevant entities; and to create and update a database on humanitarian activities, in order to reinforce the analysis and follow-up capacities of humanitarian response; • To ensure greater programmatic and operational cohesion among all humanitarian organisations, aimed at increasing the number of inter-agency operations to the benefit of the success of humanitarian action in the country, and with a view to following a common strategy on core issues (e.g. at the present time, on inter-agency protection and assistance to IDPs); • To provide support to humanitarian organisations, individually and as a community, in visibility and advocacy efforts – through information campaigns including media activities, and through common tools such as the CAPs. This will contribute to greater knowledge and concern about the humanitarian situation in the CAR by international public opinion. From a standing of improved visibility, it will then be possible to encourage foreign governments to provide funds, new NGOs to set up a presence in the county, etc.; • To support humanitarian action by providing common services, in the domain of logistics, communication, and information management (including map products). In particular, the HCPT plans to introduce common humanitarian air services, crucial to providing effective and timely humanitarian response.

The Humanitarian Coordinator (HC), supported by Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), will oversee the work of sector groups (see table below). Such groups meet regularly to ensure the coherence and complementarity of programmes and operations in their sector, and thereby enhance overall programme impact.

Coordination with the ICRC takes place to ensure operational complementarity and a better humanitarian response for people affected by armed conflict and other situations of violence.

3.4.B Economic Recovery and Infrastructure (includes rehabilitation, income generation)

Affected population and beneficiaries

Affected and beneficiary population Area Female Male Total Bangui 345,880 341,754 687,634 Prefectures of Ouham, Ouham-Pendé, Nana-Gribizi 497,723 491,785 989,508 Totals 843,603 833,539 1,677,142 NB: Given the nature of activities, the population at large should benefit from the strategy and activities developed by the sector.

Needs Analysis Over one decade, the CAR went through a series of political and military crises that devastated infrastructure, the economy and the social capital. During that period the income per capita declined from $374 (1995) to $325 (2005); over 70% of the population is living under the monetary poverty rate; 50% is not able to ensure its food security. The country is landlocked and access inside the country is limited by poor road network and conditions. Poor governance and inefficient administration hinders social and economic recovery.

This extremely negative situation is exacerbated by recurrent crises in neighbouring war-torn countries (Republic of the Congo (RoC), the DRC, Chad and Sudan) imposing additional burdens such as small arms proliferation, regular skirmishes and border attacks (events that occurred in the first half of 2006 in border towns, e.g. Paoua, Markounda, Kabo, Batangafo, Ouandago). In sum, a major part of the population is at risk and needs: • Security and small arms control and reduction; • To regain trust in local authorities and the justice system; • Simple economic opportunities in the prefectures; • Strong community based organisations and civil Community self-defence groups (Marlène Nzengou / UNDP / near Bozoum / 2004) society organisations (Community Based Organisations [CBOs] / Civil Society Organisations [CSOs]).

Strategic approach Early Recovery is a multi-dimensional process. It aims at reviving the social and economic conditions that will stabilise and secure conditions for human security; it includes governance, livelihoods, environment and social dimensions. In practice, the added value of this sector for the CAR is twofold: • Partners involved in the sector will promote people-centred approaches to strengthen self- confidence and capacities to live beyond survival; • Activities implemented will mainstream human rights gender and crisis prevention, and help rebuild trust between local, civilian and military authorities and the population, thereby contribute to restore security.

Objectives: 1. Ensure full involvement of communities in recovery efforts and in the restoration of security; 2. Support income-generating activities by increasing access to micro finance services (loans, insurance, leasing); 3. Strengthen national stakeholders institutional and operational capacities, especially CBOs, CSOs and the commission on small arms; 4. Promote and mainstream early warning and crisis prevention.

Proposed action: • Strengthen and support communities in a broader range of target areas, especially prefectures of Ouham, Ouham Pendé, Nana-Gribizi; • Develop a specific programme to reduce and control small arms; • Initiate pilot activities, for example income generation or micro finance, in border conflict affected areas and those with displaced populations;

19 COORDINATED AID PROGRAMME FOR CAR 2007

• Increase programme impact and sustainability by mainstreaming cross cutting issues, such as crisis prevention; • Revive traditional peaceful mechanisms for dispute resolution (see also sector of Protection/Human Rights/Rule of Law) and local governance structures; • Ensure coordination with all other sectors.

Indicators: Number of social and economical micro projects implemented with CBOs; Number of arms collected, destroyed and/or under control; Number of income generation or micro finance schemes rehabilitated and/or established, and number of income generating activities initiated; Quarterly early warning update.

Partnership: By definition of the sector, the partnership should be comprehensive, including CSOs and CBOs (e.g. Organisation of the Central African Women – Union Centralafricain des Caisse d’Epargne et de Crédit, Association for Church Medical Efforts for Health In CAR (ASSOMESCA), international NGOs (e.g. COOPI and IPHD), bi & multilateral organisations (e.g. France, European Union [EU], WB, UN agencies) and the RCRCM. The National Commission on Small Arms, Disarmament and Reintegration (CNPDR) could play a critical role, as a platform for smooth collaboration between government bodies and CSOs, thanks to its past experience and presence in the field.

Monitoring: The DREAM software that has been used for the timely monitoring of the ex-combatants, can be further adapted to additional needs, especially small arms programmes and micro project monitoring.

The early recovery sector links the humanitarian and poverty reduction efforts of the main NGOs, UN agencies and key national stakeholders. The strategic approach and its mainstreaming in all sectors will, if supported, contribute significantly to the population recovery and lay the basis for long term development, as to be outlined in the PRSP.

Needs analysis: During the latest education thematic meeting on 12 September 2006 all participants agreed that from 1 October 2006, it would be difficult to start school activities in the northern part of the country due to lack of security. In fact, much of the Central African population living near the border with Chad has left the urban centres, in order to flee from violent incursions of armed groups, including the national army. They sought protection in the bush, and on river shores. But they face food shortages, as they are now far from their fields near the villages they abandoned. Therefore, children cannot go to school because they would not find anything to eat. The Catholic Education Group claims to be confronted by these problems, when their supervisors Net school-attendance rates in CAR survey education activities in the north. UNICEF regularly receives letters from members of Parliament, asking for support in their districts - which attests total abandon of education in this part of the country. School buildings and furniture were destroyed. There is a lack of teaching material, and most teachers have fled from armed attacks.

The five prefectures of the CAR bordering Chad count 292,478 school-aged children, including 142,096 girls. Unfortunately however, the Bamingui-Bangoran and Vakaga prefectures are very far north and are cut off from the rest of the country due to bad roads, and are not accessible during the rainy season. For the three remaining districts (Nana-Gribizi, Ouham, and Ouham-Pendé), there are 88,688 school-age children, including 32,637 girls.21 It should be note that there are far fewer girls than boys, because parents are not convinced of the advantages of formal education for girls (which would not be the case, if there were greater opportunities to work in the civil service or tertiary sector, rather than the primary sector). Moreover, conflict is considered even more dangerous for young girls, especially when they must walk kilometres to get to school.

The education thematic group aims at organising a back-to-school campaign for these children, who live away from basic social services: a rough assessment reveals that one third of school buildings in the concerned area were destroyed. This requires the rehabilitation and re-equipment of 74 classrooms, as well as education kits for 88,688 pupils including 32,637 girls, and pedagogic materials and training for 1,267 teachers (of which 30 women).

Furthermore, young girls aged 13-16, are used to flee the north of the country, and often come to Bangui to become prostitutes due to lack of training that would allow them to embark on professional activities. Since the Catholic Education Group is able to work in these delicate domains, it is possible to give these children too, the chance to attend classes.

In 2005 and 2006, education kits and reading books were provided to 76,075 pupils (of which 41,932 girls) in these three districts, and 4,080 seats were distributed in the classes, thereby improving the seating ratio from 8/1 to 6/1, and the reading book ratio from 15/1 to 3/1 in that region, with the

21 COORDINATED AID PROGRAMME FOR CAR 2007 contribution of United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and UNICEF.

Objectives: To help the Government reorganise education activities for school-aged children of the north of the country, UNICEF and its partners will: 1. Promote a back-to-school campaign for all school-aged children, in particular girls, of three districts (Nana-Gribizi, Ouham, and Ouham-Pendé); 2. Promote a training programme for 13-17 aged girls from the north.

Proposed action: UNICEF’s strategic approach promotes a strong partnership with other UN agencies, civil society, and communities, in concerted action around the Ministry of Education, in order to strengthen its capacity to maintain the educational system alive and operational, thereby providing a friendly environment that encourages attendance of pupils and girls in particular. Community participation will remain the strategic approach for the rehabilitation of school buildings. UNICEF will give support to groups such as the Parents-Teachers Associations, which are responsible not only for physically building classrooms, but also for registering children and especially girls, and for monitoring their attendance.

The decentralised structures of the Ministry of Education will be used to train 1,267 teachers. UNICEF will play a key role in the organisation of these training sessions, and will furthermore purchase and distribute school benches, stationery, and teaching materials. The newly opened UNICEF sub-office in Bossangoa (Ouham prefecture), will be deeply involved in monitoring these activities, in collaboration with the Government’s central and district structures (which have vehicles and motorcycles, enabling them to supervise schools in the area).

In order to reinforce the back-to-school campaign, WFP is developing activities of school canteens in the region, A class in the open air (Maurizio Giuliano / by giving opportunity to up to 100,000 pupils to have two OCHA / Bouar / 2005) meals a day at school.

Meanwhile, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) will develop a training programme for approximately 300 teenage girls who fled from the north, and are currently living in Bangui without working or attending school.

Indicators: Net enrolment rate disaggregated by gender; Percentage of school buildings rehabilitated; Quantity of seats, stationery and teaching materials provided; Number of teachers trained; Number of teenage girls enrolled in professional schools.

Without the recommended support, 88,988 school-age children, including 32,637 girls, will stay out of the education system and lose opportunities for sound development.

Needs Analysis Approximately 62% of the population of the CAR lives in rural areas and relies on agriculture as the main source of livelihood. Low household incomes mean that on average, more than 80% of resources are used to purchase food. Though the country potentially has the capacity to produce enough food to feed its entire population, insecurity since late 2005 due to widespread banditry, including looting of agricultural fields and food storehouses, has discouraged local farmers and agriculture production has decreased dramatically. Rural households have depleted most of their productive agricultural assets, including small ruminants and poultry.

Such insecurity has caused an estimated 60% of CAR’s livestock owners to flee to neighbouring countries. Honey production, once widely used in the northwest as an income-generating activity, is now carried out in very limited areas. Fresh-water fishing, which was an important source of income and food, has also been affected by the loss of tools such as fishing nets; and the resumption of the activity is hampered by the unavailability of these items on the local market. Cotton production, a major source of income for farmers, especially in the region of Ouham Pendé, almost collapsed due to the significant population displacement. Its production dropped from 24,500 metric tonnes in 2000/01 to only 5,500 metric tonnes in 2004/05 and 2005/06. The traditional seed-saving practices have also been disrupted, rendering many saved-seed stocks impure and almost unproductive. FAO estimates a 40% decrease in harvests yields of crops such as cassava, corn, groundnuts, sorghum and rice, compared to 1998. Access to improved seeds will be crucial to restoring the production system, improving availability of food for producers and their families in the short term, and increasing access to food in the markets in the long term.

While almost the entire country is characterised by different levels of food insecurity and widespread poverty, the worst affected area is the north-western region (prefectures of Kémo, Nana-Gribizi, Ombella-M’Poko, Ouham, Ouham-Pendé) which, with a total population of 1,338,863 (2003 census), is by far the most densely populated. More than 150,000 people in these areas, most of them IDPs, are estimated to be in need of emergency food aid. A UNICEF nutritional survey in these areas, issued in 2006, indicated chronic malnutrition rates of 30% and severe malnutrition of 4% among children aged under five. Frequently, the affected populations resort to eating wild leaves and roots, or turn to charcoal production and petty trade in order to make some revenue.

Highly vulnerable groups require emergency assistance at all times. It is estimated that in 2007, around 60,000 persons infected or affected by HIV/AIDS will be in need of emergency food assistance.

Throughout 2006, FAO distributed 20 metric tonnes of corn and rice seeds, and 30,000 cuttings of cassava to 15,000 beneficiaries in the north-western region. Tools such as hoes, machetes, axes, rakes, and watering cans were also distributed and supported a visible increase in cassava production. However to sustain any increase in agricultural production there is a need to pursue seed distribution in 2007. FAO estimates 500 metric tonnes of seeds (corn, Children proudly display cucumbers grown groundnuts, sorghum / pearl millet, rice, and assorted thanks to FAO (FAO / Sibut / 2006)

23 COORDINATED AID PROGRAMME FOR CAR 2007 vegetable seed) as well as small agricultural tools are required for about 25,000 rural families in the north-western region.

Objectives: 1. Ensuring food access to displaced and vulnerable populations, especially in the northwest of the country; 2. Restoring the country’s agricultural production systems, particularly in the north-western region; 3. Strengthening the coordination of food security activities, monitoring, data collection and dissemination of information (livelihood, agriculture / livestock, and nutrition).

Proposed Action: • Assistance to at least 150,000 displaced and vulnerable people, with a full 2,100 kcal ration for 90 days (WFP, COOPI, IPHD, Caritas); • Distribution of improved seeds and tools to 22,000 households in the northwest of the country (FAO and partners); • Implement a seed multiplication programme with selected farmers, to ensure an immediate impact on production of commercial seeds, following the Quality Declared Seeds approach (FAO); • Assistance to 34,000 beneficiaries infected or affected by HIV/AIDS by providing emergency food aid (WFP); • Food For Work (FFW) and Food For Training (FFT) to 30,000 households in the northwest of the country (WFP, International Relief and Development [IRD], IPHD, COOPI, Caritas, CARC); • Distribution of bee-hives for honey production to 2,000 families (FAO and partners); • Distribution of fishing nets to at least 1,000 local fishermen (FAO and partners); • Coordination of food security activities, to maximise the impact of humanitarian action and establish an agricultural recovery information system (FAO and partners); • Conducting agricultural and nutritional surveys in the northwest of the country (Action Contre la Faim [ACF], FAO).

Indicators: Improved malnutrition rate among displaced and vulnerable populations; Approximately 15,000 hectares are planted with improved seeds; Bee-keepers generate income from their honey production; fish is available in local markets and reintroduced in the diet of north-western populations; Coordination of food security sector in place, agricultural database and livelihood zoning produced; Nutritional and agricultural surveys are carried out or updated, and disseminated to UN agencies, donors, NGOs, and the national Government.

Needs analysis: As a consequence of the warfare that affects northern CAR since 2003 and resurfaced throughout 2006, most health structures were destroyed, and medicines and material looted. The public health staff left the area, or refused to deploy there because of perceived or actual fear for their lives. Maternal and childhood care in particular, is still characterised by poor health indicators. The under- 0 five mortality rate stands very high at 220 /00, while registered maternal mortality is one of the highest in Africa: 1,355 per 100,000. The immunisation coverage remains as low as 50%. The displacement of 150,000 people, the majority being women and children, has probably aggravated the situation.

The HIV/AIDS prevalence among pregnant women, according to the 2002 survey, stands at 15%. According to partial assessments conducted in the CAR and not yet published, the prevalence is higher among victims of rape.

According to the MoH’s surveillance systems, diarrheic diseases are rampant in northern CAR since January 2006 (750 cases of bacillary dysentery, leading to ten deaths), and this is also true of meningitis (103 cases, leading to 22 deaths). The MoH received extensive support, especially in order to strengthen its capacity for disease surveillance and adequate response during outbreaks, thereby improving the national health information system, and logistic support in conducting field assessments – all of which worked towards risk reduction. Also considering that health structures in Bangui are weak but still functional, much needs to be done in order to set up an emergency preparedness plan that can effectively coordinate an adequate health response to emergency situations and disasters. Health centres specialised in SGBV receive medicines from WHO (Mamadou Diane / EHA-WHO / Bossembelé / 2006) Objectives: 1. Improve the management of obstetrical and neonatal emergency care in the most affected conflict zones; 2. Contribute to improve the health and nutrition status of both children under five and pregnant women, by providing a package of essential services according to defined policies and standards (immunisation, nutrition, malaria control, etc); 3. Increase the performance of basic health services in conflict-affected zones; 4. Step up the fight against Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) / HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, in particular among vulnerable population (victims of SGBV, IDPs, adolescents, pregnant women, persons infected or affected by HIV/AIDS) in the conflict affected areas; 5. Strengthen the coordination of health humanitarian organisations in providing effective health care services.

2 5 COORDINATED AID PROGRAMME FOR CAR 2007

Proposed action: In order to provide an adequate response to the health consequences generated by the humanitarian emergency witch has affected the population in the CAR, and in particular vulnerable people living in conflict-affected areas, humanitarian organisations should concentrate their efforts on activities aiming to: • Strengthen the coordination of the health sector’s humanitarian activities, in emergency situations for vulnerable population; • Improve the capacities of preparation and response to emergency situations, which involve local and national actors; • Strengthen the capacity of key coordinating actors, and existing and functional health structures for active surveillance of disease and adequate emergency response, in particular to fight gender-based violence and its consequences; • Improve access to primary health care.

Indicators: Rate of skilled attendance at child birth; Immunisation coverage rate DPT3, Tetanus Toxoid2 among infant and pregnant women; Acute severe malnutrition rate among children under five; Access to, and use of, basic health services in conflict-affected areas; Number of victims of gender-based violence treated and supported; Number of people infected or affected by STI/ HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis, supported by services for prevention, care and support (minimum package for the health care universal access strategy).

Needs analysis: Under the most probable scenario elaborated in this CAP, the situations in Darfur and South Sudan, in Chad, and in the DRC after the elections will remain uncertain but no major population influx from any of these countries to the CAR is expected to occur. This scenario also assumes that no or almost no return of Central African refugees from abroad will occur during 2007. Rather, more people could be forced to flee across the borders with Chad and Cameroon, or into internal displacement.

The overwhelming majority of the 14,000 South Sudanese refugees in the CAR have expressed a strong willingness to return to their areas of origin in Sudanese refugees are among the most active Sudan, following the signing of a Comprehensive traders at the local market in Mboki (Nicolas Rost / Peace Agreement in Nairobi on 9 January 2005. UNHCR / Mboki / 2006) Voluntary repatriation in safety and dignity is clearly the preferred durable solution for this group.

Until the conclusion of the voluntary repatriation operation, South Sudanese refugees will be in need of protection and limited assistance. Since the majority of them have been living in the CAR for almost two decades, they have settled, integrated, and achieved economic self-sufficiency, mostly as subsistence farmers or traders. In anticipation of their repatriation, however, many of them stopped virtually all agricultural activities. This precarious situation is being addressed by UNHCR through direct food distribution in Mboki to up to 5,000 refugees with specific needs (60% women) during the last quarter of 2006, so that food insecurity will not be a major issue for Sudanese refugees in 2007.

Similarly to Sudanese refugees, who mainly live in the eastern town of Mboki, most urban refugees have been living in the CAR for many years, and have achieved a certain level of economic self- sufficiency, in a difficult economic environment. Nevertheless, the CAR being one of the poorest countries in the world, even refugees who have been living in the country for years face precarious economic conditions. In addition, there are a number of highly vulnerable refugees who are in need of assistance in order to buy food and household items, or pay their rent. Access to basic social services, including health services and education, is difficult for the majority of urban refugees.

Objectives: 1. Conclude voluntary repatriation of DRC refugees; 2. Organise the voluntary repatriation in safety and dignity of all South Sudanese refugees; 3. Continue to provide protection and assistance to refugees living in the CAR; 4. Continue to strengthen national capacities for refugee protection and assistance, and advocate the adoption and implementation of national refugee legislation.

Proposed action: In order to attain the first objective, voluntary repatriation of those DRC refugees who wish to return among the residual caseload of 3,500 persons will be organised in safety and dignity. UNHCR expects resurgence in demands for repatriation if the electoral process in DRC is completed in a peaceful way.

2 7 COORDINATED AID PROGRAMME FOR CAR 2007

Second, UNHCR plans to conclude the voluntary repatriation operation of the remaining 14,000 South Sudanese refugees during 2007. Repatriation convoys by air will mainly be conducted between Mboki in the CAR and Tambura in South Sudan, but will also include Bangui and Kaga-Bandoro on the CAR side, and Yei, Yambio, Maridi, Juba, Wau, Raja and other locations in South Sudan. Sensitisation campaigns and go-and-see visits will enable refugees to make an informed decision about their return, which will occur in safety and dignity.

Meanwhile, UNHCR will continue to provide protection and limited material assistance to other refugees who live in the CAR, particularly 5,500 urban refugees in Bangui. Together with refugee communities, durable solutions will be pursued, including voluntary repatriation, local integration, and resettlement to a third country. Resettlement will be used strategically as a protection tool, and as a durable solution, for those refugees for whom neither voluntary repatriation nor local integration are an option. In 2007, UNHCR plans to increase the number of resettlement submissions to 60, or Refugees living in CAR by country of origin about 300 refugees.

As in 2006 and previous years, UNHCR will work closely with its Government partner, the National Refugee Commission (CNR), to provide limited education assistance to urban refugees, as well as free basic health services, legal assistance, and – for those with specific needs – financial assistance. Education is especially important for refugees, as it increases their capacity to achieve economic self- sufficiency which, in turn, enhances their chances to achieve any of the three durable solutions. UNHCR will also advocate with the Government and the legislature for the adoption of national refugee legislation, which would enhance legal protection of refugees living in the country.

Should the situation in 2007 come close to the worst-case scenario developed in this CAP, UNHCR will take additional measures to respond to increased needs. Contingency plans for such a scenario have been developed, and would allow for a rapid and comprehensive response to the arrival of new refugees in the CAR.

Indicators: In 2007, return movements for the remaining 8,300 Sudanese refugees are organised in safety and dignity, at a frequency that allows for the conclusion of the operation by mid-2007, enabling a total of 14,000 refugees to return between 2006 and 2007; Legal protection and limited assistance in the health and education sectors are provided to refugees living in the CAR; Per month, financial assistance is provided to 60 individuals or families with specific needs among the most vulnerable urban refugees; National capacities for refugee protection and assistance are strengthened, including through the adoption of national refugee legislation.

3.4.G Protection / Human Rights / Rule of Law

Affected population and beneficiaries

Affected and beneficiary population Group Female Male Total IDPs in Ouham, Ouham-Pendé and Nana-Gribizi 30,000 30,000 60,000 Non-displaced vulnerable children and women in Kémo, 241,500 211,500 453,000 Ouham, Ouham-Pendé and other conflict-affected areas Aka Pygmies in Lobaye prefecture 7,870 8,010 15,880 Total 279,370 249,510 528,880 NB: Some protection activities can benefit the population of the entire country.

Needs analysis: The conflict in the CAR has destroyed many of the traditional and institutional protection mechanisms, and the country is still struggling to recover in a difficult post-conflict environment, characterised by a moribund economy and a lack of resources. As regards the judiciary system, most of its infrastructure was devastated during the events of 2003, and a large amount of legal documentation was lost. In addition, the judiciary system suffers from a lack of qualified personnel. As a result, considerable parts of the population have no access to legal protection or conflict resolution mechanisms and, thus, rights violations are often committed in an environment of impunity. This lack of national protection specifically affects vulnerable groups, including IDPs children, detainees and ethnic minorities.

Repeated attacks on the civilian population by armed groups caused the displacement of some 15,000 individuals across the border into Chad, between June and December 2005. Since January 2006, a recurrence of attacks, often with political connotations caused, further population displacements in northern CAR, both internally and across the border with Chad. In this environment, acts of SGBV, other forms of physical violence, summary executions, arbitrary arrests, torture and ill-treatment, looting and destruction of property have been reported. While the total number of CAR refugees in southern Chad and Cameroon now stands at close to 70,000 persons, there are also an estimated 150,000 IDPs scattered in the northern region (including approximately 60,000 in Ouham and Ouham- Pendé prefectures, with an estimated 27,000 persons on the axis Paoua – Bémal, 15,000 persons on the axis Markounda – Maitikoulou, 12,000 persons on the axis Batangafo – Kabo – Moyenne Sido, and 6,000 persons on the axis Kabo – Ouandago). Many villages in the areas of Paoua, Markounda and Kabo still remain empty.

IDPs are scattered in the local surroundings of their villages of origin. Internal displacement has traditionally been a temporary phenomenon in the CAR, whereby IDPs spontaneously return to their villages after some time. However, this time the new IDPs seem to be particularly traumatised, and therefore remain in hiding. These populations face a very dire humanitarian situation, as a result of years of precarious living conditions and a poor economic climate. According to the most likely scenario, this problem will continue and possibly worsen - as the security situation may well deteriorate further, both within the CAR and in neighbouring Chad and Sudan.

Objectives: 1. Increase direct access of local communities to an enhanced judiciary system, and revive traditional conflict resolution mechanisms; 2. Provide protection to IDPs according to the integrated strategy elaborated by the HCPT country team; 3. Sensitise members of the armed forces on International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and other applicable standards; 4. Improve the impact of protection activities by strengthening existing coordination mechanisms.

Proposed action: Protection activities will be coordinated through the Protection Working Group, which was revitalised in 2006, to ensure efficiency of protection actions by all relevant humanitarian organisations. UNHCR is currently chairing the Protection Working Group and has been designated by the UNCT to take the lead for IDP-related protection activities.

Access of local communities to the judiciary system will be improved by enhancing judiciary mechanisms, and by strengthening traditional conflict resolution mechanisms. These activities will be carried out by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and will include, inter alia, the establishment of mobile courts. They will be aimed at improving human security for a wide range of

29 COORDINATED AID PROGRAMME FOR CAR 2007 beneficiaries, but vulnerable groups are likely to benefit the most from an amelioration of national protection. In addition to a lack of accessibility, one of the main deficiencies of the judiciary system is a lack of legal documentation. Both UNDP and the United Nations Peace-Building Support Office in CAR (BONUCA) will conduct campaigns to provide nationals with birth certificates and other legal documents, while COOPI will improve access to legal documentation for members of the Aka ethnic minority (known as Pygmies), in order to enhance their access to national protection.

The ICRC will continue to monitor detention conditions, especially of security detainees, and remain prepared to respond to emergency situations in places of detention. General human rights monitoring will be carried out by local NGOs such as the Observatoire Centrafricain des Droits de l’Homme (OCDH), as well as BONUCA, both of which have established a presence in different parts of the country, and plan to further extend such presence during the course of 2007.

A number of humanitarian organisations will carry out complementary sensitisation campaigns in order to enhance national capacities, particularly with respect to the protection of populations affected by conflict, and of IDPs. National NGOs including the OCDH, as well as BONUCA, will sensitise law- enforcement officials on international human rights standards. The ICRC will sensitise members of the armed forces on IHL; while national and local authorities, particularly members of the armed forces, will be sensitised by UNHCR on the human rights of IDP, including the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement, with a view to reducing human rights violations against the civilian population. Sensitisation campaigns, together with a strengthened presence of humanitarian organisations, should improve the overall protection situation through increased observance of these standards, and result in a decrease in human rights violations.

The continuously volatile security situation in the north, according to the most probable scenario, will require humanitarian organisations to provide a persistent and coherent response to protection issues related to internal displacement. Activities related to this sector objective will contribute to an amelioration of human security of affected populations. In 2007, UNHCR and UNICEF will continue to implement protection activities benefiting 60,000 IDPs in the north. Protection issues and patterns of internal displacement will be permanently monitored, so that identified cases can be referred for individual follow-up, especially survivors of SGBV. The ICRC will strengthen its capacity to monitor possible violations of IHL in regions affected by conflict. UNICEF will consolidate its presence in Bossangoa and establish one in Kaga-Bandoro, with a view to closer monitoring of child abuses and to providing follow-up on identified cases.

Indicators: Local communities have improved access to the traditional and formal justice system; The protection situation of 60,000 IDPs is effectively monitored, and follow-up is provided for identified survivors of violence, especially SGBV and child abuse; A substantial decrease in the number of protection incidents, violations of IHL and other applicable standards is observed; The Protection Working Group meets on a monthly basis and coordinates effectively with all stakeholders.

3.4.H Security of Staff and Operations

Needs Analysis: The security environment in the CAR has deteriorated steadily in 2006. Urban crimes in Bangui, highway banditry and armed militants on the main travel axes and in the north of the country have all contributed to increased security threats in the northern and north-western areas in particular. The proliferation of light weapons, ranging from domestic hunting rifles to light-calibre military weapons, further jeopardises security. The murder of two Central African doctors travelling in the northwest of the country in a UNICEF vehicle in April 2006 is a forceful example of this insecurity. Humanitarian action is becoming increasingly dangerous.

The United Nations Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS) is increasingly concerned that aid workers and UN staff members in particular may be caught “in the wrong place at the wrong time” while undertaking their humanitarian activities, thus becoming accidental victims of security incidents. This has become more likely in 2006, with increased skirmishes between armed forces and militants.

The current risk to the UN and other aid workers is assessed as deriving from the following sources of threat: • Criminality in urban centres; • Lack of discipline among armed factions; • Fragile law and order leading to riots and looting; • Ambushes by militants and highway bandits; • Low-intensity warfare in the northwest and northeast; • Proliferation of light weapons.

Around 60% of the country is in Security phase areas in the CAR (medium brightness = phase II, lightest = security phase IV, while the west phase III, darkest = phase IV) of the country is in phase III, and the Lobaye prefecture and Bangui are in phase II. The town of Kaga-Bandoro (Nana-Gribizi) and Bambari (Ouaka) are phase III enclaves in phase IV areas. Such security phases influence the extent to which UN operations may be conducted in an area and the modalities involved.

Some UN movements operate with armed escort. This poses a financial burden on agencies and diminishes accessibility for some areas of the country. In 2006, UNDSS has deployed two security officers to advise the United Nations Designated Official (DO) for security, on security matters.

Objectives: 1. Equip security field offices with the logistic means to respond to UN and NGO community expectations in matters of security; 2. Act as a liaison with security actors present in the country; 3. Improve coordination on security plans; 4. Warn and inform the UN and NGO community of new regulations and potential threats.

Proposed action: The current UNDSS structure in the CAR does not allow frequent visits to the most affected northern provinces. In anticipation of expanded humanitarian activities in this part of the country, UNDSS intends to deploy a Deputy Security Advisor to Bossangoa to provide better security to UN agency staff operating in that area.

Indicators: Secure working conditions for the UN and NGO community; Good dissemination of accurate security information within the UN and NGO community; Security clearances obtained in accordance with field conditions; A realistic security plan, including an evacuation plan; Compliance with Minimum Operating Security Standards (MOSS); Quick security phase assessment for all 16 prefectures.

Needs analysis: Since late 2005, fighting between the national army and other armed groups, as well as increased banditry, have displaced approximately 150,000 persons inside the country, most of which are women and children scattered and spontaneously settled into forests and other safe havens, fearing reprisals from a variety of armed groups, and more of the population has fled to southern Chad. The people affected by violence are among the most vulnerable of Central African society, and most earned their living in the agricultural, fishing, livestock and informal sectors. Before the outbreak of violence people in this remote and rural region were poor, and did own some means to make a living and acquire the most elementary NFIs such as soap, buckets, and clothes. Thanks to the violence over the past months, what little people had has been destroyed or stolen, including houses. This will certainly lead to an always increasing child morbidity and mortality mostly in rural areas as affected communities still have no access to basic health facilities and hygiene education.

The lack of security and the loss of homes affected life in more ways than increasing the number of people without a roof over their head; it also interrupted income activities, schooling, as well as basic health services, including immunisation campaigns and ARV treatment for people living with AIDS.22 On several occasions whole villages have been burned down, leaving the people without essential living items. The different organisations reported approximately between 5,000 and 7,000 households to be affected by lootings and fire destruction, but, apart the around 150,000 IDPs, there are no certain figures on the number of people/households needing immediate assistance, and uncertainty remains as to how many have already found a solution to their displacement and housing situation.

UNICEF collaborates with MSF-H to reinforce the stock and distribution of impregnated mosquito nets and other NFIs such as plastic sheeting, mats, soap, blankets, jerry cans or nutritional supplementation, benefiting 1,500 people. ICRC is now distributing NFI in a larger scale, comprising mats, blankets, tarpaulins, soap, cooking sets, and buckets to more than 6,000 displaced families in Ouham and OuhamPendé. During the very following months, a partnership between Médecins Sans Frontières – España (MSF-E), Médecins Sans Frontières – Belgique (MSF-B) and UNICEF will complete MSF nutritional supplementation and malaria NFI stock and distribution in the Batangafo- Moyenne Sido axis. Furthermore, COOPI, in coordination or complementarity with UNICEF, ICRC, WFP, World Health Organization (WHO) and UNDP, also distributed foods and NFI in the northern affected regions within the framework of Operation Zougoulou II, benefiting around 30,000 people. Notwithstanding, emergency stocks continue to be extremely low. Much more needs to be done.

In addition to addressing the immediate NFI and housing needs of those affected by the above- mentioned situation, there is an urgent need to address the underlying problems related to the provision of housing for the rural poor. As noted, the lack of secure tenure and housing hinders the establishment of livelihoods, education, and access to other basic services. Harsh health, social and security problems have followed the fleeing of the populations of the extremely low-income rural regions to even more remote, isolated areas. Several issues of human settlement must be addressed in order to solve the general problem of violence and to avoid a repetition of lootings and burnings such as those during the last months. To this end, a dialogue should be established between the Government, other armed groups, key actors and communities on how to provide homes and settlements with secure tenure, as well as houses and services that are affordable to the most affected and vulnerable.

22 In July 2006, UNICEF, UNHCR, UNDP, WFP and OCHA conducted a rapid assessment to identify needs of those affected by violence. The assessment, which sampled households in two road access of the north, showed that shelter, followed by food, blankets and clothing were the highest needs among the affected population. It also indicated that access to treatment for the acute and chronically ill had dramatically fallen by about almost totality, and that people required shelter, followed by financial assistance, land and legal vending stalls in order to restore their lost livelihoods.

32 COORDINATED AID PROGRAMME FOR CAR 2007

Objectives: In the targeted area, the different players will improve living conditions and human security of the most affected, vulnerable populations, focusing children, women, IDPs, returnees, refugees and host communities, by distributing NFIs, including mosquito bed nets, by: 1. Deliver NFI kits adapted to emergency needs and security context to 10,000 families. ICRC, MSF, UNICEF and other UN agencies will provide basic emergency supplies items, including mosquito nets, nutritional supplementation, drinking water, tarpaulins, blankets, floor mats, jerry cans and water purification tablets, kitchen sets, soap; 2. Stockpile and pre-position of NFI, at UNICEF/UN common services in Bossangoa and Kaga- Bandoro, in anticipation of further displacements and spread out of violence, according emergency needs; 3. Ensure effective coordination, monitoring and evaluation of sector’s activities.

Proposed action: UNICEF will continue to coordinate the shelter and NFI sector, in close collaboration or complementarity with ICRC, MSF, WFP, WHO, UNHCR, FAO, OCHA and COOPI. In exploring more solutions, UNICEF will support, mediate, and liaise between beneficiaries, NGOs, international humanitarian operators and local government partners to promote the shelter-related rights of IDPs and affected/vulnerable populations. These rights include registration and access to acceptable shelter and living standards and physical safety in settlements and other places of residence. In 2007, NFIs and basic shelter assistance will be provided by ICRC, UNICEF, UNHCR as well as MSF (Belgium, Holland, France, and Spain) to ensure that IDPs and other conflict-affected people have adequate living conditions. In 2007, ICRC, MSF, FAO and UNICEF plan regular NFI assistance and seasonal input for 50,000 most vulnerable people in rural areas identified by community leaders (hygienic kits, cooking sets, soap, bed linen, plastic sheeting, metal buckets, impregnated mosquito bed nets, seeds, fishing and agricultural tools, and clothes for children). In Nana-Gribizi and Bamingui-Bangoran, UNICEF will provide NFI and seasonal input for 5,000 affected/vulnerable people.

Partner organisations will upgrade temporary settlements and affected communities in Ouham, Ouham-Pendé and Nana-Gribizi.

UNICEF and UNHCR’s implementing partners will assist the most vulnerable IDP families returning to their villages by providing basic building materials, emergency schooling materials as well as box-tents where required IDPs who wish to reside permanently in the main cities will have opportunities to integrate through UNHCR and UNICEF assistance.

The immediate needs of the most vulnerable among those affected by violence will be addressed by providing NFIs and temporary shelters. Similarly, assistance to IDPs will include temporary shelters, if needed. In parallel, the general problem of homelessness will be addressed through supporting communities and organisations and entering into a policy dialogue with the Government.

The most vulnerable populations targeted under this sector include the children and women, chronically ill, elderly, orphans, the handicapped, female or child-headed households, families who lost their only source of livelihood, and HIV/AIDS affected households. Minorities such as Peuhl, Mbororo and Pygmies will be catered for as well if required.

Indicators: Number of effectively delivered emergency supplies as blankets, mats, tarpaulins, jerry cans, shovels, bleach, chlorine, water purification tablets, basic tools, soap, oral re-hydration mix and cooking sets; Number/quantity of support therapeutic and supplementary feeding effectively distributed as BP5, therapeutic milk F100, and other fortified nutritional products, essential drugs, emergency health kits and post-rape-care kits; Number of distributed mosquito bed nets, disaggregated by gender, age, special status (i.e. pregnant women, children under five); Number and percentage of schools and health centers targeted; Number and percentage of IDPs families, affected communities and settings targeted; Number of education and recreation emergency kits effectively delivered.

3.4.J Water and Sanitation

Affected population and beneficiaries

Affected Target areas Total population Beneficiaries population Prefectures of Bamingui-Bangoran, Haute- 542,199 At least 90,000 At least 60,000 Kotto, Ouham, Ouham-Pendé. (50.9% female) (50.9% female)

Needs analysis: The supply of drinking water is one of the key risk factors for a child’s survival and well-being at any time, not to mention during an emergency. Large numbers of people in the CAR are to date neither accessing adequate quantities of safe water, nor using latrines. This will certainly lead to increasing child morbidity and mortality, mostly in rural areas, as affected communities still have insufficient access to health facilities and education.

As reported through Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey in 2000, only 38.6% of the population countrywide has access to safe drinking water, while almost 35% of the population resorts to unprotected sources that do not conform to minimum sanitary requirements (less than 1% in rural areas). Furthermore, as of 2003, 25% of the 3,177 equipped boreholes were dysfunctional. No routine water quality monitoring system is known to be in place as of October 2006. In fact, bacteriological analyses are only carried out for Bangui’s water scheme at the Pasteur Institute in Bangui; while only random physico-chemical tests are performed for other schemes in main cities. In many instances the pH is low, ranging from four to five.

In addition, more than 75% of population does not have sanitation facilities of any kind, with rural and semi-urban households being among the most affected. Proper solid waste collection and disposal is still a nascent activity in Bangui, and has not yet been implemented in other parts of the country.

As a result of over ten years of under-investment, conflict, war and natural pastoralist migration (transhumance), the water infrastructure is in need of a massive reconstruction and rehabilitation effort. Furthermore, over 30% of existing modern water points are located in only five out of the 16 prefectures of the CAR. Uneven distribution of modern water points means that water management practices are concentrated only on those communities containing modern water points, thus further marginalising communities in remote areas.

In 2006 ICRC established an outpost in Paoua, where it assists 500 villages by inspecting and repairing all boreholes. A number of NGOs (ACF, ICDI, IRD) are now establishing water and sanitation operations in the affected region, allowing for a more complete and timely coverage of vulnerable populations. MSF-F (Paoua), MSF-H Markounda and Boguila), and MSF-E (Kabo and Batangafo) are currently ensuring adequate handling of medical wastes. For security reasons, Vakaga prefecture is still not accessible to humanitarian workers.

Objectives: In the targeted area, humanitarian organisations in this sector will attempt to improve people’s health and well-being through actions designed to: 1. Improve access to safe water for most vulnerable and affected populations, including institutions: villages, schools, health facilities (by constructing, repairing and maintaining water points); 2. Promote access to adequate basic sanitation facilities for most vulnerable and affected populations; 3. Promote best hygiene and environmental health practices, at household and institutional levels; 4. Ensure effective coordination of sector’s activities.

Proposed action: All the players, including the Ministry responsible for water resources, will work together to assist the populations at risk. Rapid assessments will be carried out prior to any action.

Hygiene education is ineffective, if not coupled with provision of clean water and adequate sanitation facilities. Building separate toilets in schools for girls, particularly adolescent girls, will contribute to reducing early dropout among girls. Emphasis will also be placed on establishing effective operation and maintenance systems, involving children, teachers and community members, to help ensure the continuing safe use of these facilities, as well as a way of engaging all these members in a wider

34 COORDINATED AID PROGRAMME FOR CAR 2007 debate on improving water supply, sanitation and hygiene. Such participative approach will likely foster a strong sense of ownership among the beneficiaries.

Particular attention will be devoted to devising an emergency response that promotes preparedness (contingency planning, strategic stock piling, etc), targeting high-risk communities by providing water, and sanitation and hygiene components, with an aim in each project to strengthen local institutions.

It is anticipated that UNICEF, through its partnerships with Caritas, International Water and Sanitation System – National Representation, and IPHD, will complete by December 2006 the upgrading of water and sanitation facilities in ten schools in Ouham-Pendé, the repair of at least 150 hand pumps, and the re-enforcement of community-based operation and maintenance mechanisms. With EU funding secured in 2006, UNICEF will undergo more water and sanitation realisations for the benefit of populations living in Ouham, Nana–Gribizi, and Dekoa. This will be done in coordination with the FRC, which is scheduled to initiate in Kémo the rehabilitation of 61 wells and 55 boreholes.

Indicators: Number of water and sanitation schemes upgraded or built ready for use (boreholes, wells, rural gravity water schemes, improved family latrines); Number of schools and health facilities with access to potable water, safe latrines and basic waste collection schemes; Number of members of parents-teachers committees, and health personnel trained on adequate hygiene practices; Number of schools committees undergoing extra-curricular hygiene activities; Number of hygiene education campaigns conducted; Percentage of households reached in the affected areas.

4. STRATEGIC MONITORING PLAN

The HC, with the support of OCHA and sector leads, is responsible for strategic monitoring of the context and of humanitarian action, with particular attention to the progress made on the implementation of strategic priorities. Strategic monitoring will also provide the humanitarian community with a basis for reviews and evaluations, such as the Mid-Year Review in June 2007.

In concert with the HCPT, the Office of the HC will undertake a Mid-Year Review in June 2007. In the event of a significant change in the situation and needs in the country before that time, reviews and revisions to the programme may be conducted earlier. On the basis of evolution in the context and its humanitarian consequences, and progress achieved towards strategic priorities, the HCPT will adjust the CHAP as necessary, while initiating planning for the 2008 CAP, if applicable, by August 2007.

5. CRITERIA FOR PRIORITISATON OF PROJECTS

Participants at the workshop which generated this CAP agreed that in order to ensure greater prioritisation and cohesiveness of humanitarian action in the CAP, all projects should meet certain criteria, and undergo both a programmatic and an operational review. To that end, HCPT sector working groups reviewed all projects. Their recommendations were then considered by UN and NGO representatives. The HC, in concert with the Emergency Relief Coordinator (ERC), then took final decisions on project inclusion.

When considering projects, participating agencies agreed that the projects should meet three criteria: 1. Organisational criterion: the appealing organisation locally has the technical expertise, and the capacity, to implement the project. The organisation has the comparative advantage of being chosen to implement the project if more than one organisation is in a position to do so; 2. Temporal criterion: the project can lead to a result that is measurable during the period of the CAP; 3. Other criteria specific to the context of the CAR: the project is sensitive to cross-cutting elements of human rights, HIV/AIDS, gender, and risk reduction.

The following factors also influenced which projects were included: • Accessibility of the targeted area; • Non-duplication of the humanitarian or recovery actions of other organisations (whether or not participating in the CAP), that are already planned or underway in the same region or area; • Complementarities with current or planned development efforts.
