This submission is a part of the broader regional strategy to use US$ 40 million CERF rapid response funds to address the ongoing humanitarian situation in the Central African Republic (CAR), Republic of Congo (ROC), Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Cameroon due to the crisis in the Central African Republic.

It is estimated 150,000 people (twice the number expected) have entered Chad from CAR since the beginning of 2014.

While the border between Chad and CAR is closed as of May 12, local sporadic arrival of people from CAR is still reported. New arrivals since September 2014 have averaged 3000 per month (compared to 90,000 persons/month in early January).

A total amount of $4,998,266 is requested from CERF to provide rapid lifesaving response to returnees and host communities.  The HCT prioritized two locations (Kobiteye and Mandoul) for CERF funding, as well as an overall theme of protection, including protection specific activities and cash-for-work activities aiming to increase social cohesion between arrivals and host communities.
