Central African Republic - Supplementary Grant to the Support Programme for Reconstruction of Grassroots Communities

The Supplementary Grant to the Support Programme for Reconstruction of Grassroots Communities, Phase 1 (PARCB-1) is a multi-sector and integrated investment financed by a 14-cycle TSF grant and an RWSSI grant. It contributes to the implementation of the National Peace Recovery and Consolidation Plan (RCPCA). The Support Programme for the Reconstruction of Grassroots Communities (PARCB) was designed for implementation in several phases and in various localities of the Central African Republic (CAR) as they became more accessible from the security standpoint. The approved Phase I (PARCB1) covers mainly Bangui and its environs. Pending completion of Phase II, it has become absolutely necessary to consolidate and strengthen Phase I, where possible. Accordingly, The supplementary project to PARCB-1, which forms the subject of this support, is indeed an extension of PARCB-1 to other localities. While the Phase1 focuses on Bangui and its environs, the new areas targeted by this extension are the centre of Bambari and its environs. This Supplementary phasis is based on the following components and subcomponents: (A) Support for the development of socio-economic infrastructure to support social inclusion; (B) Support for institutional capacity building in basic social sectors; and (C) Support for programme coordination and management. The programme’s completion is set for 31 December 2019.
