The strategy of the FIU in the Central African Republic consists, in partnership with the Central African RC, in helping to reduce the structural causes of the vulnerabilities of the populations of Bangui and Mamere Kadei, and to respond to the specific needs related to crises through the development of integrated’interventions responding to the essential needs of populations, including, while providing technical assistance to the authorities in the field of the fight against HIV-Aids and TB.
Central African Red Cross (CRCA)
The CRCA coordinates with the French Red Cross with state health authorities at national, regional and local level.
