DFID welcomes the outcome of the Brussels donor conference for the Central African Republic which raised approximately $2 billion against an overall target of $3.1 billion over five years. This will fund a joint recovery and peacebuilding plan supported by the government, the EU, the UN and the World Bank. DFID remains concerned about the humanitarian situation. An estimated 50% of the population needs humanitarian assistance and the crisis is one of the least well-funded in the world. At the conference the UK’s Ambassador to the Central African Republic announced a three year package of humanitarian support totalling £60 million.
