Countries in Central Africa continue to face conflict, persistent food insecurity, population displacement, protection concerns, climatic shocks and natural disasters, and disease outbreaks. USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (USAID/BHA) provided more than $646.5 million to respond to crises in seven countries in the region in FY 2021. USAID/BHA-funded programming supported the distribution of food assistance to internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees, and host communities; facilitated access to basic health care and protection services for conflict-affected populations; and provided relief commodities and other assistance, such as latrines, safe drinking water, and shelters to communities recovering from flooding and other climatic shocks in the region. USAID/BHA also supported partners with more than $46 million for standalone early recovery, risk reduction, and resilience (ER4) programs that helped increase household incomes and sustainably improve food security in the DRC and Uganda.
