The Crisis

The refugees, internally displaced, and host populations affected by these two converging complex emergencies are highly susceptible to disease and death. Malaria is the most threatening disease faced by these groups living in the southern high malaria transmission area from Goz Beida to Goré. It is the first cause of morbidity and mortality amongst the refugees from Central African Republic living in camps and their host communities in Danamadji and Goré.

Access to effective malaria prevention tools, diagnosis and case management in camp settings is variable and coverage and utilisation of these camp services are erratic. The host communities have generally poor access to local services. Where possible they use the services in refugee camps, thus increasing the burden on an already stretched temporary infrastructure.
