Overview

The Central African Republic (CAR) is a landlocked country of four million people. Repeated political and economic crises during the past 50 years have devastated the land. Displacement and poverty are widespread. The country lacks basic social services. The state of the infrastructure, including roads and bridges, is either non-existent or very poor.  An estimated 176,000 Central Africans are internally displaced and some 160,000 have fled to neighbouring countries. In addition, the country suffers from spill-over effects from Chad, Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo’s internal conflicts and hosts some 17,000 refugees.
