Development policies need to support the most vulnerable Central Africans, especially those who have been forcibly displaced by conflict. The outbreak of conflict in 2012 led to almost one million Central Africans being internally displaced. Despite some stabilization in the security situation since then, sporadic violence continues to displace people in certain parts of the country. Today, there are around 500,000 internally-displaced persons (IDPs) in CAR – more than 8% of the country’s population. Of these, around 3 in 10 live in official IDP camps.
