. Between January and March 2026, Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) reached 50,500 people in 13 sub-prefectures for a total of USD 1.8 million, implemented by seven partners. This represents partial coverage—4 per cent of the 1.3 million people targeted under the 2026 Humanitarian Needs and Response
Key takeaway 3 million people targeted under the 2026 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP)—and a 20 per cent decrease in the number of people reached compared to the same period in 2025.
Why this matters
The decline in humanitarian funding for the Central African Republic has significantly impacted Cash and Voucher Assistance, with a 45 per cent decrease in funding and a 43 per cent decrease in coverage. Despite this, the increase in Multipurpose Cash funding and the preference for cash transfers among households suggest that donors and beneficiaries alike recognize the value of this form of assistance. The flexibility of cash transfers, particularly Multipurpose Cash, allows households to meet diverse needs, making it a crucial component of humanitarian response. However, the collapse of resilience programming, with a 75 per cent drop in beneficiaries and a 92 per cent decrease in funding, raises concerns about the long-term sustainability of humanitarian efforts in the region. As funding constraints continue to affect humanitarian response, it is essential to prioritize innovative and effective solutions like cash transfers to ensure that aid reaches those who need it most.
