The number of IDPs has been increasing rapidly since the 5 December 2 Protection needs arising from 2013 attack on Bangui and ensuing violence, which claimed 459 exactions carried out by armed lives in as few as five days and resulted in 108,000 new IDPs and non-armed groups being scattered in about 30 locations throughout the capital. The number of IDPs remains extremely volatile. 3 Safeguarding or restoring Key access constraints throughout the country include insecurity, livelihoods and assets enabling extremely poor road infrastructure, climatic conditions, and the vulnerable communities to nature of displacement, which often leads people to hide far from withstand further shocks the main roads. The plan will target Bangui as well as all of CAR’s 16 Administrative Units (‘prefectures’) with a focus on the most vulnerable, as identified through the vulnerability mapping exercise Full HNO: described in the Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) and recent https://car.humanitarianresponse.info displacement figures. The plan will focus primarily on displaced people and their host communities, especially women and children. In addition, there are 221,000 refugees from CAR in neighbouring countries, including 71,000 new arrivals since the current crisis began in December 2012. These are not included in this plan. 2 Central African Republic STRATEGIC RESPONSE PLAN CONTENTS Summary ....................................................................................................................................................................... 1 Contents ........................................................................................................................................................................ 3 Strategy ......................................................................................................................................................................... 5 Strategic objectives and indicators ............................................................................................................................. 11 Cluster plans ............................................................................................................................................................... 13 COORDINATION AND SUPPORT SERVICES ........................................................................................................................ 14 EARLY RECOVERY / LIVELIHOODS AND COMMUNITY STABILIZATION ........................................................................... 17 EDUCATION ............................................................................................................................................................................. 21 EMERGENCY TELECOMMUNICATIONS ............................................................................................................................... 26 FOOD SECURITY .................................................................................................................................................................... 28 HEALTH .................................................................................................................................................................................... 33 LOGISTICS ............................................................................................................................................................................... 39 MULTI-SECTOR ASSISTANCE TO REFUGEES ..................................................................................................................... 41 NUTRITION .............................................................................................................................................................................. 45 PROTECTION .......................................................................................................................................................................... 51 WATER SANITATION AND HYGIENE/NON FOOD ITEMS/SHELTER ................................................................................... 57 Annex: List of projects and funding results to date ................................................................................................. 62 Table I: Requirements per cluster ............................................................................................................................................. 62 Table II: Requirements per priority level ................................................................................................................................... 63 Table III: Requirements per organization .................................................................................................................................. 64 Table IV: List of Appeal projects (grouped by cluster ................................................................................................................ 66 Table V: Requirements per location .......................................................................................................................................... 75 Table VI: Requirements per gender marker score .................................................................................................................... 76 3 STRATEGIC RESPONSE PLAN Central African Republic The boundaries and names shown and the designations used on this map do not imply official endorsement or acceptance by the United Nations. 4 Central African Republic STRATEGIC RESPONSE PLAN STRATEGY People in need and targeted This Plan targets 2.0 million of the 2.2 million conflict-affected people, which includes the current number of 533,000 IDPs (including 108,000 new IDPs since the 5 December 2013 attack on Bangui), 20,000 refugees as well as the 1.6 million residents identified in the Humanitarian Needs Overview as being in need of humanitarian aid. The level of vulnerability among these people is extremely high. Urgent humanitarian aid is required to prevent loss of life and to promote health, protection and dignity. In addition, given the likelihood of a continuation throughout 2014 of the current crisis, which began in December 2012 with the attacks and eventual coup d’état of the Seleka rebel coalition, strengthening people’s resilience to withstand further shocks will also be of crucial importance.
