In addition to the already challenging humanitarian situation and recent financial constraints, humanitarian actors faced new crises in 2023, with the impact of the Sudanese war in the northeast and insecurity in the border region with Chad in the northwest. [...] In 2023, the decline in CT (-38 per cent compared with 2022) could be explained to the general drop in the level of funding for CAR's HRP, the low supply of markets in the northeast (due to the war in Sudan), and the increase in operational costs following widespread inflation in 2023, which forced some actors to reduce their initial programmatic targets. [...] This situation has been further aggravated by the effects of the current crises in the Sudan and southern Chad, which have led to the massive influx of returnees and asylum-seekers to the northeast and northwest of the country, and the increase in food prices are exacerbating the vulnerabilities of the population. [...] With the support of the NGO Bria-Londo, a batch of communications equipment was handed over to the Yalinga authorities for the reinstallation of the VHF radio, which will enable them to communicate with the outside world, in particular on the protection of the residents. [...] Given the scale of the needs at national level and the context that is undergoing new developments, notably with the impact of the Sudan crisis in the north of the country, as well as the challenges related to the transportation of necessary supplies for project implementation, the capacity to absorb additional needs is becoming increasingly limited.
