CAR Humanitarian Fund, March 2025

Humanitarian needs require more local response

In 2025, 2.4 million people — 38 per cent of the population — are expected to face extreme vulnerability to the point where humanitarian assistance alone would not be sufficient to ensure their well-being.
Overall, recent shocks affecting the population, especially clashes between armed groups, have decreased over the past two years. However, the situation remains worrying in some regions where conflict persist, and where the population is exposed to climate change. One in five Central African remains displaced either within the country or abroad, mainly in neighbouring countries. Attacks on civilians and associated infrastructure continue to lead to new displacements negatively impacting the well-being of the population.

In 2024, the CAR HF allocated 30% of its funds to national organizations compared to 7% in 2022.

What is the CAR Humanitarian Fund?

The CAR Humanitarian Fund (CAR HF) receives contributions from financial partners – Member States, corporations, and individual people - and allocates the funds to the humanitarian organizations best positioned to help people in need.
The CAR HF adapts to the evolving situation in the country by providing funds as needed throughout the year, in a timely and flexible way. The Fund ensures that available resources are allocated efficiently and accountably to maximize impact.

How does the CAR Humanitarian Fund help people?

The CAR Humanitarian Fund gives life-saving humanitarian aid to people in dire need – such as safe and clean water, health care, protection services or access to education.
