Parameters of the response

Of the 2.2 million people in need of humanitarian assistance—including 533,000 IDPs, 1.6 million residents including host communities and 20,000 refugees—this plan targets the 2.0 million people (90%) who are expected to be accessible at least at some point during 2014 (despite best efforts to reach all of them). The number of IDPs has been increasing rapidly since the 5 December 2013 attack on Bangui and ensuing violence, which claimed 459 lives in as few as five days and resulted in 108,000 new IDPs being scattered in about 30 locations throughout the capital. The number of IDPs remains extremely volatile.

Key access constraints throughout the country include insecurity, extremely poor road infrastructure, climatic conditions, and the nature of displacement, which often leads people to hide far from 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 described in the Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) and recent 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.

PRIORITY HUMANITARIAN NEEDS

1 Multisectoral needs of highly vulnerable displaced people and host communities

2 Protection needs arising from exactions carried out by armed and non-armed groups

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.

Planning assumptions

This Plan is based on the following assumptions:

The security and political crisis is likely to continue throughout 2014. Although the crisis is currently worsening, especially since the attack on Bangui on 5 December 2013 and the ensuing violence, the deployment of an African Union-led peacekeeping mission (MISCA) with support from French troops may lead to improved security in the main urban centres during the second part of the year. The increased presence of French forces in Bangui at the beginning of December, with a new Security Council mandate to protect civilians, already seems to have had a calming effect, although violence is still ongoing. The possible transformation of MISCA into a UN peacekeeping operation some time in 2014 may also help stabilize the situation. However, even if the political transition and DDR process remains largely on track, the current crisis is likely to continue throughout 2014 and may even worsen.

Intercommunal and religious tensions will likely intensify, particularly in central and western CAR and in the capital Bangui, where interreligious violence since 5 December so far has claimed 459 deaths. Little or no improvement is expected in 2014, at least during the first part of the year. The humanitarian situation may even worsen if security and interreligious/communal tensions are not addressed adequately. Recent violence in Bangui may increasingly have negative implications for aid agencies’ bases of operations (as in March-June 2013 when several offices were looted).

1This figure does not include displacement in Bangui following the violence, which started on 5 December 2013. While these figures are still being assessed, the above figure should be seen as a preliminary figure, which will likely be revised upwards.


6

Restoration of state administration and authority will be very limited, which means that the current trend of armed groups filling the power vacuum will persist. Government capacity to lead and support the humanitarian effort will also be thin. This is particularly true outside of Bangui, where Government capacity remains weak and its presence very limited, leading to an almost complete lack of basic public services.

The capacity of the humanitarian community to address the rising humanitarian needs will increase, resulting in increased international attention and donor support.

Access to vulnerable populations will remain very challenging, mainly for reasons of security and poor road infrastructure. In addition, many displaced people tend to hide far from the main roads, which makes them difficult to reach. It is estimated that about 10% of people in need of humanitarian assistance will remain inaccessible to humanitarian actors in 2014 despite best efforts to reach them all.

Food insecurity will remain high and may increase further. According to the Emergency Food Security Assessment concluded in October 2013, 30% of Central Africans (about 1.4 million people), and 50% of the displaced (about 198,000 people), face moderate or severe food insecurity. The conflict has forced many people to abandon their crops and plantations. Continued displacement could lead them to miss the April to August 2014 planting season. The assessment’s concluding forecast indicates a sharp deterioration in food security in the coming months if pervasive insecurity persists.

The first six months will be critical for the longer-term stabilization of CAR. This includes improving security, addressing protection issues, and ensuring progress with the political transition to prevent a potential downward spiral of violence. From the humanitarian perspective, immediate response is required to save lives and restore livelihoods, especially during the January to March lean season. At the same time, it is important to address the increased humanitarian needs as much as possible in advance of the May-November rainy season when road access becomes difficult in many parts of the country.

Explanation of the strategy

The situation in CAR dramatically deteriorated in 2013 due to the destabilization of the former regime from December 2012 until it was overthrown by the rebel Seleka coalition in March 2013. Since then, the Central African Republic has moved from a protracted crisis characterized by chronic underdevelopment and localized emergency situations into an acute and complex emergency affecting the entire population and territory. The situation deteriorated even more dramatically with the 5 December 2013 attack on Bangui and the massive violence and displacement that followed.

The Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO), which forms the basis for this strategic plan, was underpinned by a vulnerability mapping exercise, which helped the humanitarian community identify its priorities by condensing large (although incomplete) amounts of information to a format that facilitates comparison, ranking, and discussion of


7

data. The results of this exercise exposed the various degrees to which all parts of the country have been affected by the crisis. The humanitarian response will focus essentially on the needs of the most affected people as identified through this exercise, including IDPs, refugees and affected resident populations, including host communities. Protection issues will be addressed as a priority, including Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) and preventing and responding to grave violations of children’s rights such as the ir forced recruitment into armed forces and groups. Restoration of livelihoods and assets to enable communities to withstand future shocks will also be of key concern. Protection and resilience will be integrated systematically into sector responses, as will other cross-cutting issues such as gender and HIV/AIDS.

Coordination among clusters and agencies of both assessment and response activities will be prioritized in the practical implementation of this plan, including through the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM). Links to future development action will be ensured through inclusion of early recovery activities across cluster interventions where possible (most development activities are currently suspended due to the ongoing crisis). Consultations with key non-humanitarian partners, including the World Bank, BINUCA and various security actors, will continue in order to ensure a coherent link with other plans and initiatives.

Scope of the strategy

This plan targets all CAR’s 17 administrative units, including its 16 prefectures, since humanitarian needs have been identified in all of these based on the vulnerability ranking exercise, as reflected in the HNO. The plan targets about 90% of the people identified to be in need of humanitarian aid—it is expected that the remaining 10% will remain beyond the reach of humanitarian actors due to the significant access constraints in CAR (despite best efforts to reach all of them) and they are therefore not included in the target population for this plan. Nor does this plan include t approximately 221,000 refugees from CAR living in neighbouring countries, including 71,000 new arrivals since the current crisis began in December 2012, included in this plan. Given continued limited or lack of state administration and authority outside of the capital Bangui, where the vast majority of needs have been identified, Government capacity to respond to the humanitarian needs is negligible—virtually all humanitarian response therefore depends on international and to a limited extend national humanitarian actors, most of which form part of this plan. The two exceptions are the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the NGO MédecinsSans Frontières (MSF), whose activities are outside the scope of this plan. Their planned activities have been taken into account in the cluster plans at the end of this document to avoid any duplication. The clusters have also ensured appropriate coordination with related Government ministries. It should be noted that in the current fluid and unpredictable context, new emergencies are likely to arise, as apparent in Bangui in December. The humanitarian organizations included in this plan will therefore have to take a flexible approach to implementation of the plan, by redeploying if necessary and by ensuring sufficient capacity to respond to new emergencies when required. This will also require flexibility from humanitarian donors. Frequent and coordinated contingency planning exercises will be required to prepare for any sudden changes.

Priorities within the scope of the strategy

The priorities of this plan, based on the needs and vulnerabilities described in the HNO, are outlined below.

Geographic priority: Ouham and Ouaka prefectures (highest priority, based on number of people in need—449,000 and 301,000 respectively—and vulnerability level) followed by Ouham Pendé, Nana-Mambéré, Kémo, Nana-Gribizi, Basse Kotto and Mbomou (with a total of 461,000 people in need of aid). Ombella-Mpoko prefecture is also included as a result recent violence there. Within these prefectures, the following sub-prefectures with vulnerability levels above 70% and 509,000 people in need, are particularly targeted for surveillance and response: Batangafo, Bossangoa, and Bouca (Ouham prefecture); Bambari and Grimari (Ouaka prefecture); Bangassoa and Ouango (Mbomou prefecture); as well as Alindao (Basse Kotto prefecture). It should be noted that sudden changes in the security situation could result in new urgent geographic assessment and response priorities.

Operational priority: the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) is defining a 100-day plan (for the beginning of 2014) aiming at increasing the presence of humanitarian actors, in particular with UN agencies, in key priority areas, and at strengthening the humanitarian response.

Sectoral priority: protection (since the ongoing violence is the main instigator of overall humanitarian needs).

Demographic priority: women and children (particularly vulnerable due to insecurity).

Population category: IDPs and their host communities (considered more vulnerable than other resident populations in need of aid).

Cross-cutting and context-specific issues

Given the widespread human rights violations that are taking place as part of the current crisis, it has been agreed that all clusters will take appropriate and effective measures to include and operationalize protection considerations—such as ‘do no harm’ and risk analysis—in their sectoral programmes in consultation with the protection cluster.

With regard to gender considerations, the plan recognizes that the needs of women, girls, boys and men differ and need to be taken into account during needs assessment, analysis, planning and response activities. The gender marker reflects the extent to which each project in this plan takes gender considerations into account.

Another cross-cutting aspect that strongly underpins this plan is community-based early recovery, which will guide the multi-sector response to the needs of people affected by the crisis. In this context of absence of state administration and public services, the involvement of communities in humanitarian assessment and response is critical to: 1) ensure that the assistance provided adequately meets their specific needs; and 2) generate better ownership of actions benefiting the community, in particular those seeking the strengthening/re-establishment of social services.

Finally, HIV/AIDS and the environment are recognized as additional important cross-cutting issues, which have also been taken into account in the different sectoral parts of this plan.

Constraints and how the HCT and clusters will address them

Key constraints to humanitarian operations include the following:

Insecurity: Insecurity remains one of the major constraints to humanitarian operations. The offices, stocks and equipment of a large number of humanitarian organizations were looted especially in the early part of 2013, while hijacking of humanitarian vehicles, especially in Bangui, increased dramatically towards the end of 2013. There have also been a number of attacks on humanitarian staff. Four aid workers were killed during such attacks in recent months, including one on 5 December at the outbreak of violence in Bangui. While insecurity in most parts of the country is caused largely by former members of the Seleka rebel coalition and reprisals by so-called ‘anti-Balaka’ community defence groups, the Lords Resistance Army (LRA) remains of particular concern in the south east of the country. The proliferation of small arms remains a cause for alarm throughout the country.

Lack of Government structures and leadership: The weak capacity of the Government, especially outside Bangui where state structures are largely absent, means that the Government is unable to provide leadership and tangible support to the humanitarian effort. Many public service providers have not been paid due to lack of Government funds and thus incentives to return to their posts are few. Outside Bangui, many service providers have fled due to violence. Government capacity, has been further undermined by the extensive looting of many public infrastructures, including clinics and schools.

Limited operational capacity of aid providers, partly due to lack of funding: The scale of humanitarian need has increased threefold since January 2013. At the same time, CAR has remained chronically under-funded, with the CAP for 2013 funded at only 45% in mid-November. The looting of UN and NGO offices and vehicles, and the reduction in staff presence, has led to a decrease in the capacity of existing aid providers to conduct humanitarian operations. The capacity of local NGOs, which was already weak in CAR before the coup, has been particularly affected by the conflict.

Lack of high-quality data and analysis: The lack of Government capacity also means that there is a lack of high-quality national and local data on which humanitarians can plan their operations. The humanitarian community has largely been unable to produce its own high-quality data and analysis, partly due to a dearth of assessment and information management capacity among humanitarian actors. The lack of comprehensive data on protection violations has been of particular concern as it has hindered advocacy efforts on this issue.

Poor infrastructure: Limited and poorly maintained road infrastructure is also a major constraint, particularly during the rainy season when many roads become impassable. Limitations in mobile phone coverage, Internet access, the banking system and the availability of petrol, especially outside Bangui, present additional challenges.


10

To address the issue of insecurity, UN agencies will be investing in additional security measures to ensure Minimum Operational Security Standards (MOSS) compliance, including by deploying area security advisors to field locations. In coordination with UN security, NGOs will develop supplementary mechanisms to strengthen security analysis and management to address the specific needs of NGOs. At the same time, advocacy efforts vis-à-vis Government and other relevant actors will be increased to safeguard humanitarian space, including ensuring respect for the inviolability of humanitarian staff and assets. Finally, increased efforts will be put into improving civil-military coordination, including placing a civil-military coordination officer with OCHA.

To address the capacity issue, including in terms of data and analysis, this plan proposes a significant scale-up of humanitarian response capacity and presence in the country in view of the large increase in humanitarian needs resulting from the continuing crisis. This will be accompanied by increasing advocacy efforts by the Humanitarian Coordinator and other members of the Humanitarian Country Team to help secure the required funding for CAR. Obtaining such additional funds would help address existing capacity constraints, including with regard to information management and needs analysis. This is important particularly at cluster-level where the additional capacity will help allow for more coordinated sectoral and inter-sectoral assessments, which in turn will lead to a more efficient response. Efforts will also be made to strengthen local government capacity, including by rehabilitating and equipping local administrative and social infrastructures. Local NGO and community-based organizations will also be capacitated to assist in managing rehabilitated socio-economic infrastructures.

Finally, to address the issue of poor infrastructure, humanitarian actors will increasingly rely on the UN Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) to transport humanitarian aid workers to areas which would otherwise be difficult or impossible to access due to poor road infrastructure and/or insecurity. Efforts will also be made to rehabilitate roads and bridges important for humanitarian access.

Response monitoring

The present plan, as well as the HNO and vulnerability matrix that underpins it, will be reviewed at the mid-year and end-year points to assess progress and adjust as required as well as to inform the 2015 planning process. The 100-day plan commitments will be reviewed on a monthly basis and at the end of the 100 days in early April, to review progress against the commitments and to determine the way forward. The Humanitarian Dashboard will be regularly updated and will guide the HCT in its monitoring of sectoral achievements against the current plan.

The fluid and unpredictable context of CAR will require constant monitoring, including through ongoing needs assessments. Clusters will be conducting their own monitoring and assessment, with reference to the Rapid Response Mechanism. In addition, inter-cluster monitoring and assessments will continue to be encouraged, and may be coordinated with Common Humanitarian Fund (CHF) monitoring missions. To monitor the implementation of this plan, the inter-cluster monitoring committee will determine appropriate monitoring mechanisms, which may draw on existing systems and capacities such as the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), FEWSNET, the Access Monitoring and Reporting Framework, CHF monitoring and evaluation work andavailable field presence.

CAR became a complex emergency following the Seleka rebel offensive in December 2012 and their seizure of

power in March 2013. Since then the humanitarian situation has deteriorated to an unprecented scale as almost

half the population is currently in need of assistance due to the persisting security and political crisis.

In response to the increased needs, humanitarian actors in the country plan to rapidly increase their capacity and

scale up their presence, particularly in the interior of CAR. Since June 2013, additional international NGO partners

(SCF, MDM, LWF, Finn Church Aid, MSF Belgium) and IOM have started establishing their presence in CAR.

The existing national and sub-national coordination mechanisms will be adapted in response to the increased

presence of humanitarian actors in the country, through the creation and strengthening of coordination hubs

outside of Bangui. To this end, OCHA will strengthen its capacity to provide the necessary support and

coordination expertise and enhance its services to partners in areas such as information management,

communication, advocacy and resource mobilisation. Lead agencies and NGO partners will also strive to enhance

their cluster coordination and information management capacity.

The scale-up of operations in an environment that is unpredictable and insecure will require enhanced security

management capacity within the humanitarian country team. In particular, it is critical to strengthen the capacity of

UNDSS in Bangui and in the interior of the country so as to ensure adequate security management and facilitate

the delivery of humanitarian aid. The NGO Coordination Committee will include a security officer who will serve as

security focal point for the NGO community.

Since the current crisis began in December 2012, there has been a breakdown not only in the provision of social

services and state administration but also in the livelihoods of families and communities, who have either been

displaced or have had their movements severely restricted by wide-spread insecurity. This has made it difficult or

impossible for people to tend to their fields or to go to markets, many of which have ceased to function.. Many

extremely poor families have had their few physical assets, including livestock, completely looted by armed groups.

They are thus in a highly vulnerable position to withstand shocks or even to make it through the January-March and

July/August lean seasons.

In addition to the need to address immediate life-saving needs, there it is also imperative to help restore people’s

livelihoods as well as basic social, economic and local administrative infrastructures to allow people and

communities to sustain themselves without having to rely on humanitarian aid. Due to the increasing religious and

inter-communal tensions, there is also a need to promote social cohesion and community reconciliation. The

Livelihoods and Community Stabilization Cluster plans to address these issues through the following sectoral

objectives:

Support the revitalization of local economies to strengthen resilience.

Provide support for basic social, economic and local administrative services not covered by other clusters.

Promote social cohesion and community reconciliation.

Ensure that early recovery is taken into account as a cross-cutting issue across the clusters and that links

are established with key development partners and financial institutions.

These sectoral objectives support the third strategic objective of this SRP to rebuild affected communities’

resilience to withstand shocks and address inter-religious and inter-community conflicts’. The planned activities will

put strong emphasis on the involvement of communities, both to ensure sustainability and to help promote social

cohesion, with a particular emphasis on women and youth. Many of the planned activities aim to provide income-

generating opportunities.

Projects included in this sector plan will be implemented in the SRP priority zones,including Ouham, Ouham-

Pende, Nana-Mambéré, Kémo, Ouaka, Lobaye, Mbomou, Bangui and other locations. Cross-cutting issues such

as gender, environmental issues and HIV will be taken into account. Partly through joint or complementary

interventions with other clusters, the livelihoods and community stabilization cluster will use an integrated approach

and will adapt interventions to fit needs as identified in each priority zone.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 3: REBUILD AFFECTED COMMUNITIES’ RESILIENCE TO WITHSTAND SHOCKS AND ADDRESS INTER-RELIGIOUS AND INTER-COMMUNITY CONFLICTS.

Cluster objective 3.1: Support the revitalization of local economies to strengthen resilience

Community economic resilience will be strengthened under this objective as beneficiaries will be offered opportunities to earn revenue through socio-economic infrastructure rehabilitation using labour intensive cash for work (CFW). They will be trained in life skills and small business skills. Project beneficiaries will be encouraged to join associations in order to promote self-employment.

The violent political and security crisis that began in December 2012, and the population displacement that has

followed, has severely affected the education sector through the occupation of schools by armed forces,

destruction of school buildings and furniture, loss of textbooks and administrative documents, causing the flight of

staff and students and instilling widespread trauma and fear. The rapid assessment carried out at the end of the

2012-2013 school year by the Education Cluster showed that 1) 49 % of schools were still closed at the end of the

school year; 2) almost half of the 2012-2013 school year had been lost (five and a half months on average); 3)

seven out of 10 primary school students had still not returned to school, mainly out of fear2.

While the 2012-2013 school year has already been lost, the deteriorating security environment in new prefectures

in recent months has nullified efforts to restart education in September 2013 and could result in the loss of a

second year (2013-2014). According to education cluster data, 1,230,000 children aged 6-18 years are out of

school (that is 81% of all 6-18 years old in the country) comprising 730,000 children who were not enrolled before

the crisis and at least 500,000 students who dropped out of school because of violence and/or displacement. The

interruption of education for so many children and for such a long period of time will have short and long-term

consequences on the stability and development of the country. As the number of children associated with armed

forces or armed groups is increasing and as closure of schools and lack of educational activities continue, more

adolescents are vulnerable to engage in dangerous and illegal activities. Moreover, as children who have not been

able to return to school are deprived of the structure and stimulation necessary for healthy cognitive, psychological

and social development, an entire generation is at risk of growing up illiterate and unable to reach its potential,

which will not only affect children, but families, communities and the country as a whole.

On the other hand, if children are able to continue their formal education and/or receive adequate training, they will

be able to continue their personal and intellectual development, and have the potential to be actors of community

communication that save lives transferring good practices on safety, hygiene, basic principles of health, human

rights, prevention of SGBV, civic and intercultural education. Indeed the provision of psychosocial support and

education for peace may have the cascading effect of easing reconciliation between adults of different

communities.

The main objective of the Education Cluster is to restart formal education so that 60%3 of the students enrolled in

2012-2013 come back and attend classes regularly4. Although the Education Cluster set the prompt return of

children to school as a priority, security considerations will be taken into account since support to education cannot

put at risk the security and lives of children and school personel. Cluster interventions will follow the “do no harm”

principle by targeting mainly safe sub-prefectures, municipalities and neighbourhoods. In IDP sites, Cluster

members will establish a diagnosis prior to any activity (trends in arrivals and departures, probability that the

displaced remain and for how long) in order to avoid creating a pull factor or preventing displaced people from

returning to their homes when conditions are otherwise favourable to doing so.

The Education Cluster will work in coordination with other sectors by taking into account issues related to food

security (especially school feeding), protection (training of teachers in psychosocial support and referring

traumatized children to appropriate services and ensuring that schools are safe places), monitoring and reporting

on grave violations of childrens rights, as well as water and sanitation (especially the rehabilitation/construction of

water points and latrines). Conversely, schools can sometimes serve as access points for other basic services, to

the extent that these interventions are well coordinated with the Education Cluster and do not interfere with

educational activities.

330% at the time of the needs assessment.

4 The 500,000 target is comprised of 400,000 primary school students (60% of the 662,000 students who were enrolled in primary education

before the crisis) and 100,000 other children (who were already out of school before the crisis) youth and adults (including teachers and school personnel).

Guidelines

Section 1: Sector Strategy

Secure Telecommunication and data access services are recognized as priority areas for a successful

humanitarian response in CAR.

The crisis since December 2012 has negatively affected the country. Looting and damaging of UN property

has occurred in operational areas Bambari, Zemio, Ndele, Kaga Bandoro, Paoua, Bossangoa and Bouar in

December 2013 and March 2013.Therefore those areas became non-CMOSS compliant.

Recent evaluations have shown the demand to re-establish security telecommunications and provide data

access in these locations in order to allow humanitarian staff to go back and return to those sub offices.

The main focus of the ETC in 2014 will be ensuring and enabling operating environment/protection of all

humanitarian operations to respond to emergencies by implementing data connectivity, basic security

telecommunications and their backup power in seven hubs and enhance security telecommunications in Bangui

Through implementation of activities, the ETC will enable the humanitarian community to minimize risks

and implement an efficient emergency response. ETC also will continue to standardize ICT platforms, provide

training and procedures to avoid duplication and ensure cost effective services.

Section 2: Sector Activities:

The ETC will undertake activities by providing data and security telecommunications services, technical and

maintenance support in common operational area and overall coordination of emergency telecommunication

services. Regular meetings will be held with the humanitarian community and training of UN and NGO staff on the

use of telecommunication tools and services, including radio operators, will be conducted. The assessments of

telecommunication infrastructure in other operational areas will be continued and the availability of security and

data communication facilities ensured as required. In addition the ETC will liaise with relevant government

authorities on behalf of the humanitarian community, to obtain the necessary license to import telecommunication

equipment. Provision of information management services to support all ETC-related activities will be done through

# OF PARTNERS 27

The Food Security Cluster (FSC) response plan will address the global strategic objectives through four main

elements, recognizing the necessity to link emergency relief with resilience activities and based on the principle to

“do no harm”.

The cluster members will provide immediate life-saving assistance targeting the most vulnerable populations

suffering from the consequences of armed conflict and/or natural disasters. Food assistance to severely food

insecure populations (including refugees and IDPs) will be provided as long as required, with a particular emphasis

during the lean season. Due to below-average harvests and difficulty of transport and accces to market, this lean

period, which usually takes place between May and July, may already start in January/February 2014, becoming a

unusual food insecurity situation and indicating that vulnerable people will require assistance over a longer period

of time.

Recognising that agriculture is the main source of livelihood and income, the cluster members will work to improve

access to essential agricultural inputs to maintain production and access, protect market and food access, support

crop protection and treatment measures as well as ensure minimum animal disease control to avoid additional

crisis.

At the same time, FSC members will support vulnerable populations to restore, protect and adapt their livelihoods

and means of production and income generation.

A participatory analysis and monitoring of the situation through existing methodologies such as comprehensive

food secruty and vulnerability assessment (CFSVA) and the integrated phase classification (IPC) will be pivotal in

determining the most appropriate responses for the targeted population and in tailoring humanitarian interventions

to beneficiaries’ needs and preferences. The cluster memebers will also engage in and support activities to prevent

and reduce conflict linked to natural resources management.

FSC members will furthermore work with communities and households to increase their resilience by

strengthening their capacities to prevent, respond to and recover from further shocks in the future. Activities in this

regard include trainings and capacity-building, the provision of agricultural inputs and necessary tools as well as

the restocking of livestock.

The FSC will strengthen coordination and understanding among its partners (in particular government

authorities) with regard to risk identification, preparedness, response to and monitoring of food security needs. A

cluster monitoring system will be implemented in close coordination with other clusters (in particular the Nutrition,

Priority areas: Bangui, Ouham, Ouham-Pendé, Lobaye, Vakaga, Nana-Gribizi, Ombella-M’poko, Ouaka, Kemo,

Basse Koto, Mbomou, Haut-Mbomou and Nana-Mambéré.

Challenges: Considering access constraints in some areas due to logistic challenges or insecurity, the cluster may not be able to respond to all people in need of assistance. The cluster will work closely with partners to improve access to people in need, including by air. New IDP movements in the coming months will be taken into account.

# OF PARTNERS 19

The already weak health system in the Central African Republic has virtually collapsed since the beginning of the

current crisis in December 2012. The lack of essential medicines, supplies and health professionals has seriously

impeded the provision of primary and secondary health care (preventive and curative). There is limited support for

general health, reproductive health, infant and child health and nutrition.

This health cluster plan supports the overall strategic objectives related to the provision of integrated life-saving

assistance and building resilience. It does so through three sector-specific objectives focused on the provision of

essential primary and secondary health services; improving government health infrastructure and capacity

including through support to district health management teams; and by increasing community capacities for health

promotion, disease prevention and communicable diseases control.

The plan takes into account the strong link between health, nutrition and WASH as well as key cross-cutting issues

such as gender, age, HIV/AIDS, and protection, including sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV).

Keys priorities for the health cluster include restoring health facilities, providing them with life-saving medicines and

medical supplies and supporting the extended program for immunization (EPI). Other high-priority elements of this

plan include provision of life-saving emergency health care (medical, surgical, maternal, newborn and child health,

nutrition), Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) and Emergency Obstetrical and Neonatal Care (EMONC) in

Reproductive Health, communicable disease surveillance and response as well as medical and psychosocial

support for women and child victims of violence/SGBV and people living with HIV/AIDS.

To achieve the first strategic objective of this SRP (providing life-saving assistance), it will be crucial for aid

organizations to overcome key access and logistical constraints.

The Logistics Cluster aims to support the humanitarian community in its ability to move its staff and emergency

supplies. CAR is a country well-known for the considerable transport difficulties which results in severe delays

because of the poor road infrastructures, unpredicted expenses for repairing vehicles and for renting replacement

vehicles, high exposure to road accidents for cars and rented trucks, impossibility – except by air – to send staff

quickly to various field locations. On top of that, the security situation has severely worsened in many areas

causing restriction of movement and sometimes refusal by private companies to send their trucks because of the

risk of looting or vehicle-jacking.

The Logistics Cluster and WFP have developed an air-land-coordination approach, which focuses on the following

elements:

Repairing some road infrastructure at critical points along the major roads, particularly in the Southeast,

Northwest and centre of the country, in coordination with the Livelihoods and Community Stabilization

Cluster.

Supporting UNHAS to provide air services for transporting staff and cargo to affected areas.

o To ensure that humanitarian organizations (UN agencies, NGOs) and donor representatives have

access to beneficiaries and project implementation sites through the provision of efficient air

services;

o To carry out medical and security evacuations for humanitarian workers; and

o To respond in a fast, efficient and flexible manner to the needs of the humanitarian community.

Under the responsibility of its Coordinator, the Logistics Cluster will continue to offer services such as

regular meetings, information management products (e.g. maps and information on suppliers and customs

and tax regulations.

In 2014, UNHCR operations will be geared towards the protection and multisectoral assistance to two groups of

populations, namely refugees and asylum seekers in rural areas, and refugees and asylum seekers in urban areas.

Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Rural Areas UNHCR, in cooperation with its Government counterpart (the Comission Nationale pour les Réfugiés—National

Commission for Refugees) and with other partners, will continue to provide protection and multisectoral assistance

to refugees in rural areas, with an emphasis on durable solutions to their problems, strengthening refugee’s self-

reliance and improving conditions in several vital sectors where the conflict and instability has brought devastation

and plummeting of the situation on key indicators. In keeping with strategic objective #1, and given that the conflict

and armed violence has further complicated the very existence of essential services in refugee displacement areas,

UNHCR will, as a top priority, continue to provide protection and assistance on the three vital sectors of healthcare,

education and food distribution. Given the conditions in the refugee hosting areas, UNHCR will also focus on

providing proper shelter to refugee families, water, hygiene and sanitation, and targeted assistance to people with

specific needs, especially those living with HIV/AIDS, who will benefit from care and treatment in addition to

psychosocial counseling, voluntary testing and prevention of mother to child transmission services. On the

protection front, UNHCR will continue to use its strategic partnership with the National Commission for Refugees to

improve the quality of individual registration of refugees. By using individual registration as a protection tool,

UNHCR will expand the identification of refugees in heightened risk situations, including women at risk of sexual

and gender-based violence (SGBV) and unaccompanied or separated children, to identify proper responses to their

problems. In the same regard, refugee children under 12 months will systematically be provided with birth

certificates.

Noting that the events of December 2012 and March 2013 halted the voluntary repatriation that was planned in

2013 for some 6,060 Congolese refugees originating from the DRC Equateur province hosted in the Lobaye

prefecture in Central African Republic, UNHCR will pursue voluntary repatriation in 2014 as a durable solution for

all refugees willing to return, especially for the 6,060 Congolese refugees who have indicated their willingness to

return in the DRC. Moreover, UNHCR will work with the National Commission for Refugees and other state

institutions to promote local integration for the benefit of protracted refugee caseloads, through strengthening of

refugee communities’ self reliance, in view of progressively reducing the degree of dependence on aid and to

promote human potential through income generating and livelihoods activities through community based

mechanisms focusing on food security, agriculture, livestock, craft and trade.

Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Urban Areas The focus of UNHCR programmes for this group of People of Concern will be two-pronged. Firstly, UNHCR will continue providing protection and multisector assistance to refugees and asylum seekers. In this regard, UNHCR will continue to use individual registration with age and sex disggragated data as a protection tool. Refugees and Asylum seekers in urban areas will be provided with individual documentation, and refugee children will continue to be registered by the state and provided with birth certificates. In addition, UNHCR will facilitate access of refugees and Asylum Seekers in Bangui to a fair and transparent refugee status determination procedures, while, at the same time, building the protection capacities of the Sub-Commission for Eligibility (Sous-commission d’Eligibilité) and the Appeals Commission(Commission de Recours) in view of ensuring that the backlog of asylum applications are processed in the course of the year 2014. Regarding multisector assistance, basic needs of vulnerable refugees in the areas of health, education and subsistence will continue to be addressed while at the same empowering urban refugee communities through strategic mobilization and self-reliance programmes, in view of progressively phasing out assistance. Secondly, UNHCR will work with the host state to continue seeking durable solutions for urban refugees. Through UNHCR’s partnership with the Commission Nationale pour les Réfugiés, UNHCR will enhance the promotion of legal and socio-economic integration of groups of refugees, in particular those belonging to the most protracted caseloads from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Chad and Sudan. The issuance of residence permits and the strengthening of self-reliance will be emphasized to uphold local integration efforts. Refugees willing to return to their country of origin will be assisted to do so.

NUTRITION

PEOPLE IN NEED 91,000



# OF PARTNERS 14

The nutrition status of children under five in Central African Republic remains critical in a context of recurrent armed

conflicts. As many as 63 per cent of the population are living under the poverty line and about 40% of children

under five are chronically malnourished and thus not developing optimally and at high risk of morbidity.

According to the 2012 SMART survey results, the global acute malnutrition rates (estimated at 7.8% with 1.8 % of

severe acute malnutrition and 6% moderate acute malnutrition) remain among the five main causes of child

morbidity and mortality among children, while stunting rates are very high at 39.9% This situation is exacerbated by

aggravating factors such as:

limited access to health and nutrition services insufficient access to safe water (4.5%) household food insecurity (30%) limited coverage of micronutrient supplementation for pregnant and lactating women poor infant and young children feeding practices with poor rates of exclusive breastfeeding (36.8%) only 20.6% of children receiving a minimum diet in term of frequency or meals and food groups consumed,

and a range of health issues (e.g. ARI, malaria, high prevalence of HIV among women and children).

Given this situation, the nutrition cluster is estimating that around 91,000 children are at risk of moderate and

severe acute malnutrition in 2014. The burden of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is considered to be of 28,000

children whereas the burden of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) is estimated around of 63,000. The nutrition

cluster plans to target at least 66,800 children under 5 years including 16,800 of children affected by SAM and

50,000 of children affected by MAM.

During the crisis, only 45% of nutrition units have continued to function, often on an irregular basis. As of end of

October 2013, 21 out of 24 ITPs and 102 out of 150 OTPs had reopened, which allowed about 40% of affected

children to be reached with treatment. The estimated geographical coverage (18%) remains very low, especially in

the most affected areas including Ouaka, Kemo, Ombella Mpoko, Nana Gribizi, Mbomou, Sanga Mbaere, Lobaye,

Kemo, Nana Mambere and areas surrounding Mbres, Nana Mambere, Vakaga, and Bria.

Management of acute malnutrition is still perceived as a vertical intervention, and there is still no strategy of gradual

devolution and progressive integration of the package of related nutrition interventions that play a preventive,

promotional and curative role.

The increased number of children to be admitted and treated in 2013 for acute malnutrition is increasing the needs

and volume of nutrition products as well. In August – September 2013, there have been no significant delays

related to the supply pipeline, partly due to adequate stocks of essential commodities within the country.

Also, cluster coordination and data management remain very challenging. Despite the integration of nutrition data

in National Health Information System (NHIS) data collection tools, the level of completeness and timeliness in

reporting nutritional data remains low with a reporting rate of 20%, according to the Ministry of Health. Indeed, low

capacity to collect, centralize, analyse and manage disaggregated data needs to be reinforced.

The overarching objective of the nutrition cluster is to reduce morbidity and mortality through a package of high-

impact curative and preventive nutrition interventions at health facility and community levels. This includes

supporting community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM), promoting, protecting and supporting

infant and young child feeding practices, and preventing micronutrient deficiencies. In addition, the plan devotes

special attention to strengthening coordination, information management and monitoring systems, including in

support of the cluster.

The nutrition response in 2014 will focus on four critical interventions:

Scale up integrated management of acute malnutrition.

While efforts will continue to increase access and quality of existing programs supporting the management of acute malnutrition, the nutrition cluster will also focus on re-opening nutrition facilities in the following areas: Ombella Mpoko, Nana Gribizi, Mbomou, Sanga Mbaere, Lobaye, Kemo and Nana Mambere, areas surrounding Mbres and Ouaka. Partners will contribute to improve the quality of integrated treatment of malnutrition with medical complications, especially at IDP sites and hospitals admitting cases affected by HIV. For this the national nutrition protocol will be updated and capacity of health and community health workers will be strengthened through formal and on-the-job training.

In addition, the supply of nutritional products remains unreliable, particularly in difficult-to-reach locations, partly due to inadequate supply chain management. To address this situation, the nutrition cluster will ensure that a contingency stock of nutrition supplies capable of covering at least five months is available.

Special attention will also be given to strengthening community systems and community health workers in providing basic services such as active case finding, house follow-up, and delivery of key messages.

Support, protect and promote infant and young child feeding pratices

Appropriate infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices, including exclusive breastfeeding, is crucial to

prevent malnutrition and related morbidity and mortality. The cluster plans to ensure that the emergency

package for promoting appropriate IYCF practices is implemented in different health and nutrition facilities,

especially in IDP sites.

Ensure adequate micronutrients supplementation for vulnerable people including children and pregnant and lactating women.

The nutrition cluster will use routine preventive programmes and special events including Child Health weeks, polio and measles campaigns, as critical entry points to ensure micronutrients supplementation of vitamin A, iron, folic acid and deworming and zinc. Micronutrient needs of affected populations are met:


47

>90% coverage of supplementation activities, or >90% have access to additional sources of micronutrients for women and children

Campaigns may represent one of few possible delivery mechanisms to reach vulnerable populations with high coverage. A recent campaign delivered vaccination, vitamin A, and deworming with reasonable coverage.

Strengthen coordination and information systems by ensuring predictable, timely, coordinated and

effective nutrition response

The current reporting rate of nutrition data collection remains extremely low at only 20%. The cluster aims to rapidly strengthen the monthly data collection and management system to ensure completeness and timeliness. The cluster will supplement the data base with this with nutrition surveys and rapid assessments. The leadership of cluster coordination and other connections will be empowered and this will reinforce the information system and the capacity of leading the SPR processus, projects, CAP appeal and other intersectoral interventions.

# OF PARTNERS 15

Since 24 March 2013, with the breakdown of law and order, protection of civilians has been a major concern in

Central African Republic (CAR), in particular (although not only) in the most affected areas. Attacks against

civilians (both targeted and indiscriminate), sexual and gender-based violence against women and children, forced

recruitment of children, separation of families, property damage and looting, and loss of livelihoods has

exacerbated an already difficult humanitarian situation. The violations have included summary executions,

disappearances and abductions. Those most at risk are women, children, the elderly, persons with disabilities and

groups whose imputed political or religious beliefs differ from that of their neighbouring communities. Exposure to

such protracted violence can result in immense psychosocial distress of children and family members.

Despite the launch of a disarmament campaign conducted under the umbrella of the FOMAC, the arrival of

additional international military forces for the newly established International Support Mission to the Central African

Republic (MISCA) and French forces, thesecurity situation in the country has not yet improved. Attacks and armed

violence between elements of former Seleka and self-defense groups (Anti-Balaka) in Ouham, OuhamPende,

Nana Mabere and Lobaye have resulted in new population displacements of both IDPs (estimated to number

395,000) and those fleeing to neighbouring countries as refugees since the beginning of the crisis (70,529in DRC,

Chad, Republic of Congo and Cameroon). Protection concerns for displaced families and especially children are

becoming more urgent as many are reported scattered in farming and forest areas where shelter and other

resources are likely to be insufficient.

The monitoring system established by the Protection Cluster, which includes on-the-ground monitors and a 24/7

greenline, receives reports of protection incidents on a daily basis. From July to November 2013, more than 5,500

protection incidents were recorded. As the violence continues, a primary concern of the Protection Cluster for 2014

is to strengthen this monitoring system, always conscious of the need to protectf the monitors and other

humanitarian workers who contribute to it, but also to strengthen the Cluster’s Information Management capacity

and to sharpen and deepen its protection analysis so as to do better reporting and advocacy. Furthermore, as It

is more than probable that CAR context will remains extremely volatile and unpredictable during 2014, , even with

the deployment of international forces, the Protection Cluster has prioritized holding regular consultations with

BINUCA’s human rights section, and consultations and possible protection trainings for national security forces and

multi-national forces. Also prioritized is the need toincrease the resilience of communities to prevent sectarian

conflicts from becoming violent by promoting community reconciliation and dialogue and other conflict resolution

measures.

In view of the above protection situation in the Central African Republic (CAR), it has been deemed necessary to

elaborate a response plan for the Protection Cluster by setting out the four (4) sectoral objectives that follow the

overall strategic response plan for CAR for 2014. The Protection Cluster’s sectoral objectives are central to the

overall humanitarian reSponse plan. The Protection Cluster will drive those protection objectives in collaboration

with the HCT, BINUCA and other stakeholders in CAR to ensure that all clusters and sectors integrate and

operationalize protection safeguards and responses in their work and planning. Beyond that, the Cluster’s priority

activities seek to prevent or reduce human rights violations, conflict and armed violence and where that is not

possible to respond to the needs of the affected population, notably internally displaced persons, host communities

and returnees. This response plan will enable the protection actors to increase the rapidity and efficiency of the

Cluster’s response to the protection risks and concerns, particularly in the most affected areas of the country.


Cluster objective 1A:Integrate protection principles into the humanitarian responses being made to populations affected by the conflicts and the violence (IDPs, host communities, returnees).


Strengthening of the capacity of humanitarian actors to integrate protection aspects into critical responses made to affected and vulnerable population and groups with specific needs.

The water, sanitation and hygiene situation was already critical before the crisis: only 54% of the

population had access to potable water and only 22% had access to improved sanitation facilities (MICS

2010). Since the crisis the situation has worsened: reports from field visits reveal that more than 32% of

water points in rural areas are non- functional. For fear of armed groups, part of the population is

scattered in the bush where open defecation is a common practice. People living in the bush are unable to

access already limited potable water sources and they lack means for proper hygiene and water storage. It has

become apparent through discussions with SODECA (Societe Des Eaux en Centrafrique), the national water

company in charge of water supply in towns,that 50% of water networks in urban areas are non- operational and

those still functioning are minimally stocked with chemicals. Their autonomy is limited since they depend on the

Bangui headquarter for supplies. The situation is more critical in IDP sites where some assessments (e.g. in

Bosangoa) have reported less than 3 litres per person per day and 133 persons per latrine, which is far below

agreed standards and poses a serious health risk for the IDPs.

In rural areas, the situation is worsening as displacement has broken up management committees, check points

erected by armed groups make it difficult to obtain spare parts and there is insufficient cash. In urban areas, the

downturn in the situation is linked to looting and sabotage of equipment (pumps and generators), technicians

fleeing to Bangui, difficulties in supplying fuel and chemicals, and decrease in revenue because of a loss of

purchasing power of the population. Sanitation and hygiene were already very poor before the crisis. The crisis has

cut off basic sanitation services and hygiene educationparticularly affecting children, women and vulnerable

persons. Hygiene kits, kitchen kits, blankets, mattresses, soaps and women’s kits for private use are to be provided

to IDPs.

Since July 2013 the number of IDPs has doubled, to 395,000. Beginning in late 2012, a pilot Rapid Response

Mechanism (RRM) project was initiated, drawing on the DRC model, to ensure timely emergency response for

newly vulnerable populations through WASH, NFI and emergency nutrition interventions. The WASH/NFI/Shelter

cluster will continue to serve as the coordination platform for rapid emergency response through partner

interventions. At the same time, building on 2013 lessons learned and as a 'rapid provider of last resort', the RRM

will be strengthened to deliver time-bound emergency NFI and WASH response for up to 80,000 people with

emphasis to children and women.

Regarding NFI/shelters, affected populations let their home taking with them only basics equipment. Large scale

looting and house burning was noticed in several locations. The cluster would then address the response in three

phases:

- Immediate support

Taking into account the unpredictability of the weather, the crisis itself and the security situation, the strategy

focuses on strengthening capacity for immediate and appropriate response by the cluster to protect newly affected

populations. Based on the Contingency Plan developed by OCHA, the HCT and the Rapid Response Mechanism

initiative (RRM) led by UNICEF, the cluster will focus its coordination efforts on the definition, constitution and

storage of standards kits; participation in rapid assessments missions, contributions to NFI deployment

mechanisms for affected populations, paying special attention to the most vulnerable including women heads of

households, large families, people with disabilities, and the elderly.

When the required preconditions are met, assistance based on cash transfers or vouchers may be available, and

will be conducted in close collaboration with other related clusters. The systematic assessment of the impact of

distributions should be a mandatory component of each intervention cycle, with results disseminated through the

cluster.

- Temporary support

Transitional housing solutions (transitional shelter) will be made for displaced and regrouped in spontaneous sites

or planned camps. The transitional shelter concept covers all interventions from the distribution of NFIs (kit tools,

tarpaulins, tents) to the construction of semi hard type which may be progressive and with materials which can be

re-used. The plan for transitional shelter adheres to a progressive theory.

Assistance in transitional shelters will be preceded by consultation with local authorities and men and women from

affected communities, taking into consideration the context of surroundings of communities on issues of land, site

demarcation, security, safety, fire prevention and access to basic services. All of these will be addressed in close

coordination with related clusters including the those for health, education, livelihoods and community

stabilization.

The views of women in particular will be taken into consideration during all phases of assistance to ensure a safe

and secure living environment. Transitional shelters will respect international SPHERE standards. Finally,

assistance leading to improved standards of living and housing for host families and host communities will be

favoured.

- Voluntary Returns - Ongoing support

The WASH/NFI/shelter cluster, in close collaboration with the protection cluster, is designed to facilitate the

voluntary return of displaced persons and refugees to their original villages and communities, particularly paying

attention to people in the most vulnerable situations, through assistance with reconstruction of their traditional

habitat. Sustainable, accessible and replicable solutions will be preferred, based on the knowledge and expertise of

construction techniques and local materials, emphasizing holistic approaches and the development of income

generating activities. Interventions based on community participation will be encouraged, recognizing that the

responsibility and the support for the reconstruction of a village are a positive experience adding a refreshing note

to the affected community. Communities, particularly those unaccustomed to decision-making, will be closely

coordinated throughout the preparatory stages and project implementation. When the required preconditions are

met, assistance based on the transfer of cash or vouchers may be possible, and will be conducted in close

collaboration with other clusters concerned.

The principal objective of the WASH/Shelter/NFI Cluster is to respond to the needs of displaced and other crisis-affected persons by reducing morbidity and mortality emanating from poor quality and insufficient potable water, poor sanitation, lack of hygiene and lack of habitable homes/shelters with basic equipment.


59

This sector plan contributes mainly to the first of the plan’s strategic objectives, namely providing integrated life-saving assistance to crisis-affected populations, in particular IDPs and their host communities. The third strategic objective related to resilience is also addressed through this plan by supporting urban water networks and rehabilitating/establishing water points in priority areas, including areas inhabited by returnees and IDPs. The cluster aims to cover 90% of emergency WASH/Shelter/NFIs requirements for newly displaced people and returnees (since 10% are deemed inaccessible as they are either hiding in the bush or access to them is impeded), and more than 50% of host families, and about 30% of residents in towns such as Bossangoa, Bangui,

Berberati and Bambari.

Host populations 195,268 98,000

Total 1,758,144 892,626

The plan takes into account the cross-cutting issue of protection by ensuring that facilities are designed and situated in a way that vouchsafes the protection and dignity of their users, particularly women and children. The WASH/shelter/NFI cluster works closely with the protection cluster in this regard. The cluster also works with the health, nutrition and education clusters to ensure that support to schools and child friendly spaces as well as health and nutrition centres around and targets the geographical areas of greatest need. Overall, the plan puts particular emphasis on the most vulnerable groups such as children under five years old, women and the disabled.
