Conflict escalation in the Central African Republic
Report Synopsis
Date: 2015/10/07
On 2 October 2015 we responded to a funding alert in response to conflict escalation in the Central African Republic.
The violence outbreak led to massive population displacement with an estimated 42,575 newly persons displaced in the Bangui region. The sudden and massive population movement is leading to many traumatised and unaccompanied or separated children from their families. The elections scheduled for 18 October 2015 are no longer taking place.
According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA)’s Financial Tracking Service (FTS), donors have committed or contributed US$342.8 million of humanitarian assistance to the Central African Republic so far in 2015. The US is the top donor, having contributed or committed US$84.8 million to the crisis.
So far in 2015, according to our analysis, US$17.9 million has been disbursed to the Bangui region of the Central African Republic. Of the total funding in 2015, an estimated US$21.5 million (6% of total) was committed or contributed to support internally displaced persons.
