Central African Republic Last Update: 27 July 2004 Central African Republic Last update: 27 July 2004 The present context • The Central African Republic, 3 millions habitants is among the poorest countries in the world (67% of the population living under the poverty line). In 2003 GDP growth is estimated at no more than 1.3%.Foreign direct investment, net inflows in 7.7 M US dollars in 2001; aid per capita decreased, from 33.3 US dollars in 1998 to 20.2 US dollars in 2001. • Over the last 10 years, CAR has experienced at least four mutinies. In March 2003 General Francois Bozize took power and established a new government after a war which lasted almost six months. This war generated internal displaced people, destruction and looting of the public infrastructure. Armed groups are still harassing people all along the main roads and in the countryside looting their goods and even taking children as hostage against payment. The national consensus for holding peaceful general elections scheduled for January 2005 remains fragile as civil servants are irregularly paid. • There has been no response to a UN flash appeal, issued in May 2003, from international donors and CAR remains one of the least funded countries of the world as well as one of the least developed countries. The UN has described this situation as “the world’s most silent crisis.” Main public health issues and Concerns Health status • The deterioration of living conditions and notably the prolonged exposure to determinants of ill health has increased the vulnerability of the population to the most frequent diseases (diarrhoea, acute respiratory infections, parasitic diseases). The lack of access by the population to sources of drinking water, either due to displacements towards areas where boreholes do not exist or due to failure to repair the existing manual pumps, is another factor that has contributed significantly to the deterioration of the health conditions of the population. The available indicators confirm the severity of the crisis: from 1995 to 2000 the life expectancy went from 49 years to 43, the maternal mortality ratio increased from 680 to 1100 per 100,000 and the infant mortality from 97 to 120/1 000. • The epidemiological profile is predominantly marked by communicable diseases: • HIV/AIDS: At the end of 2001 the adult prevalence rate was 12.9%; the estimated number of people living with HIV/AIDS were approximately 250,000, 25,000 of which 0-14 years old. 107,000 children (0-14 year) were orphaned by HIV/AIDS at the same time. More recent data show that the situation is quickly deteriorating. • Malaria1: There were 2,210 malaria cases per 100,000 people in 2000; malaria- related mortality for all ages was 132 per 100,000 people; the malaria-related mortality of 0-4-year-olds was much higher, at 777 per 100,000 people. • TB: In 2001 there were 255 Tuberculosis cases per 100,000 people, ranked the 100th. Yet the TB-related mortality rate ranks much higher, the 10th, 57.0 per 100,000 people. NB UNCLEAR THE MEANING OF THE RANKING! • Sleeping sickness: A recent survey (May 2004) showed very high prevalence in the three affected areas (Ouham, Nola and Haut Mbomou). • Two case of paralytic poliomyelitis (type 1 poliovirus), with onset of paralysis on 16 December 2003 and May 2004, have been confirmed approximately 200 km north of Bangui. The virus detected is linked to viruses circulating in northern Nigeria in 2003, where polio immunization campaigns have been suspended since August 2003.The Central African Republic had not reported polio cases since July 2000. Health system performance • The health infrastructure is insufficient (1 medical center/ 6 000 habitants, 1 bed/ 1 095 habitants), obsolete and for its most part destroyed or looted (including the cold chain). Only about one third of the infrastructure in the most affected zone has been rehabilitated. • Human resources : the overall indicators (1 physicien /6 000 habitants and 1 nurse /17 000 habitants) hide substantial inequalities in the distribution of the workforce. • Only 30% of the population has access to drinkable water. • The financing of the health sector relies heavily on external aid (which covers a share of 85%, while the Government contributes with10% and the private sector with 5%). • The sanitary (DO YOU MEAN HEALTH SERVICES??) coverage and the sanitary??? access are very low because of the poor quality of the services combined to the system of cost sharing limiting access to the poor people (67 % of the population live under the poverty line) • The surveillance system is disrupted and only 38% of the health centers are regularly reporting. • Outbreaks are recurrent: in 2004 there were epidemics of Meningitis, Poliomyelitis (the transmission of wild poliovirus was stopped since 2001), Measles, and Shigellosis. Main sector Priorities In this context the priority needs are: • Assessment of the impact of crises on population health • The setting up of a system of surveillance and response to epidemics • The reduction of the HIV transmission • Reduction of the diseases preventable by immunization by national campaigns and the rehabilitation of the routine vaccination • The reduction of the maternal and newborn mortality • Therapeutic and supplementary nutrition for children aged under five • Psychological assistance to the victims of violence particulary rapped women The priority interventions should be directed towards the most affected zone : The districts of Ouham, Ouham-Pendé, Nana-Gribizi, Ombella-Mpoko, Kémo and Bangui. This zone covers about 70% of the central African Republic population. Other Priority humanitarian needs • Access to potable water • Security 1 UNDP, 2000 • The introduction of cost recovery system for health and other services: the overwhelming majority of the population cannot afford paying fees Sector actors (NGOs, UN, Donors, MOH) European Union through on Italian ONG called COOPI FRANCE: French Cooperation Agency NGO,s active in the sector COOPI MSF ASSOMESCA CARITAS AMI D’AFRIQUE Disclaimer The emergency country profiles are not a formal publication of WHO and do not necessarily represent the decisions or the stated policy of the Organization.

  • Central African Republic
    JANUARY 2018 COUNTRY SUMMARY Central African Republic President Faustin-Archange Touadéra’s government, with support from international partners, kept control of the capital, Bangui, and surrounding areas in the southwestern region of the Central African Republic. However, much of the country remained insecure, unstable, and beset by serious human rights violations. Armed groups still control key towns, despite the presence of United Nations peacekeepers. Civilians continued to bear the brunt of fighting in central, northwestern, and eastern regions of the country, where predominantly Muslim Seleka rebel groups, largely Christian and animist anti-balaka militias, and other armed groups remained active. Armed groups killed hundreds of civilians, raped and sexually assaulted women and girls, and burned down villages. Survivors of sexual violence continued to face stigma, rejection, and other barriers to accessing essential services and justice. Numerous armed groups signed ceasefire agreements in June and October, but the violence and abuses committed against civilians did not stop. While impunity for past abuses and war crimes continued, there was progress toward creating a Special Criminal Court, a hybrid court in the national justice system, and the International Criminal Court (ICC) continued investigations of crimes committed in the country. The United Nations Human Rights Council renewed the mandate of the independent expert and scheduled a discussion with the independent expert, the UN, African Union (AU), government representatives, and civil society in March 2018 to focus on the impact of the peace and reconciliation process on the human rights situation. Attacks on Civilians Human Rights Watch documented the killings of at least 249 civilians between May and September by various armed groups, as violence surged in many parts of the country, most notably in the Basse Kotto, Haut-Mboumou, Mboumou, Ouham and Ouham-Pendé provinces.
