UNHCR's operations in the Central African Republic (CAR) are based on protection through presence, a central pillar of the humanitarian response. In a context marked by security volatility and the repercussions of the Sudanese crisis, particular attention is also being paid to emergency response. At the same time, the search for durable solutions is a major priority, by supporting the voluntary, safe and dignified return of Central African refugees, while ensuring their sustainable reintegration and their contribution to national development. The Government of the Central African Republic, UNHCR and partners are providing protection and multisectoral assistance to internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees, including Chadians and Sudanese, while promoting durable solutions for Central African returnees. UNHCR aligns its interventions with national priorities, including the National Development Programme, the National Strategy for Durable Solutions, and the CAR Solutions Support Platform outlined in the 2022 Yaoundé Declaration.
