Most under-reported humanitarian crises '21 - Central African Republic

If you don’t read about it in the news, did it really happen? Every year, humanitarian crises affect millions of people around the world. From natural disasters to conflict and displacement, some crises make headlines, some simply don’t.
For this event series, the Friedrich Naumann Foundation teamed up with the aid organization CARE. CARE’s annual report “Suffering in Silence” highlights the ten most underreported crises of the past year. Together we shine a spotlight on each crisis, giving room for discussion and hearing from experts about challenges, opportunities, and the resilience of affected communities in each country.

Central African Republic: The hopes of many people in the Central African Republic were dashed when an agreement to end the civil war failed in 2019. In October of 2021, another attempt was made to secure the peace that the country has not known for many years. Until today the conflict has had a devastating on the population: 2.3 million people are affected by massive food insecurity and 2.8 million people are in need of humanitarian aid. 700,000 people are internally displaced by violence.
We hereby invite you to join our discussion with international experts from politics, academia, and civil society.

CARE was founded in 1945 to support post-war Europe with the famous CARE packages. Today, the independent aid organization works in over 100 countries to provide humanitarian aid and fight poverty with a focus on empowering women and girls.
