WFP Regional Impact of the C.A.R. Crisis Situation Report #16, 06 august 2015
  • WFP’s C.A.R. Regional Emergency Operation (EMOP) 200799 began on 1 January 2015 and spans across five affected countries. More than 729,000 beneficiaries were reached in June through the EMOP, representing 77 percent of planned figures. In July, WFP targeted some 981,000 beneficiaries across the five countries. 
  • A second Budget Revision (BR2) was approved on 22 July. BR2 responds to operational needs based on recent nutrition assessments, and provides programmatic flexibility. It contains no revisions to the Chad and C.A.R. components, however the revision increases the number of total beneficiaries from 1.56 to 1.65 million people, in line with revised estimates of populations in need, and increases the budget by USD 16.6 million.
  • Urgent resources are needed as WFP expects food supply pipeline breaks in several commodities by the end of August. It is paramount for WFP to be able to confirm contributions as early as possible to ensure that food is available for distribution by September. Meanwhile, cash -based transfer needs are met through November 2015.
