The Central African Republic faces climate vulnerability from rising temperatures, heavy rainfall, flooding, and episodic droughts. Access to basic water and sanitation services is critically low, with only 14 per cent of the population having access to sanitation, and six per cent having access to safely managed drinking water.The CRDM-CAR project will strengthen the climate resilience of vulnerable communities —in the most climate-exposed areas of the Central African Republic. The project will reduce flood- and drought-related disruptions to water, sanitation, and hygiene services and improve disaster risk management. This will be achieved through laying the groundwork for transformative systems change (e.g., policies, standards, hydromet and groundwater monitoring, early warning systems, strengthening of institutions and data infrastructure); and risk-informed investments in climate-resilient infrastructure such as solar-powered rural water systems, resilient sanitation, urban drainage upgrades, and resilient WASH services in schools and health facilities.The project is expected to benefit around 504,600 people directly and 2.56 million indirectly, with women and children forming the majority. In effect, the project is anticipated to affect over half the population in the Central African Republic, presenting a large-scale impact potential in one of the most vulnerable contexts globally. Serving as both Accredited and Executing Entity, UNICEF, with the country’s Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MEDHR), will transition the water sector from reactive responses toward preventive, risk-informed, and institutionally embedded resilience.As the first single-country GCF initiative for the Central African Republic, the project reflects GCF's commitment to supporting vulnerable countries while advancing the Fund’s strategic focus on early warning systems, resilient infrastructure, and locally led adaptation.

The project aims to support four countries: - Burundi, CAR, Côte d’Ivoire, and Turkmenistan to each prepare and submit Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs) and combined Biennial Transparency Report / National Communication (BTR/NCs) that will comply with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement (PA) reporting requirements, while responding to national development goals.

The project objective is to increase the resilience of the population in the Lake Chad Basin by enhancing the countries capability to manage and adapt to climate-related risks through improvement of hydrological monitoring, data systems and service delivery and awareness on climate-related hazards. the specific outputs of the project are mainly aimed at (i) building an effective water information system, (ii) improving meteorological and hydrological products and services, (iii) training and informing vulnerable communities on emerging risks, (iv) strengthening the technical and institutional capacities of the national services involved in the project activities (v) dissemination and facilitation of access to relevant products, services and tools for water resources management, and their use for the protection of human lives, livelihoods and the environment from water-related hazards, and (vi) strengthening of regional and global cooperation through improved knowledge management on Lake Chad and its tributaries in order to provide appropriate climatic and hydrometeorological services.
