Synopsis (short abstract) FAO has been providing assistance to the Central African Republic since 1961, when the country became a member of the Organization.

Successful rural development remains a key means of achieving social cohesion and peace-building in the country.

Cooperation with the Democratic Republic of the Congo dates back to 1978 when FAO opened its country office. Assistance has focused on improving food and nutrition security, including support to the formulation of policies and strategies for agricultural and rural development, natural resource management and resilience building in the face of climate change. After nearly two decades of persistent civil insecurity and conflict, FAO is contributing to peace-building and reconciliation by supporting food production and strengthening agricultural livelihoods for vulnerable communities, including returnees and ex combatants.

The Central African Republic is currently one of the world’s most serious humanitarian crises. As violence is likely to continue in 2018, further increasing the needs, it is essential to continue providing families with agricultural and livestock support to reduce critical vulnerabilities and strengthen their resilience to shocks. In 2018, restoring agricultural production is key to achieve stabilisation and peace in the Central African Republic.
