ALIMA in CAR
ALIMA has been present in CAR since 2013. Its main activities are focused on screening and medical-nutritional care of children, reproductive health, primary and secondary health care and response to epidemics. Five projects are currently being implemented, including 4 early recovery projects for the health system in the health districts of Bimbo, Boda and Haut-Mbomou in Zémio and Obo financed by the Bêkou Fund, an RRM project mainly in the prefecture of Nana-Gribizi financed by ECHO since April 2018 including a component of operationalization of the Mbrès health area.
In December 2013, ALIMA provided medical support to 3 displaced people sites on the outskirts of Bangui and then set up a free primary health care package in 5 CDS of the DS of Bimbo and Bangui. The healthcare offering was expanded to 13 CDS in Bimbo in 2018. The project aims to strengthen the capacities of the Health District with a view to complete autonomy.
ALIMA’s second intervention began in the DS of Boda in June 2014, a town which was facing violent community clashes. ALIMA enabled the reopening of the Boda hospital and the Boboua CDS (Mbaïki DS). Today, the project covers the hospital and 9 health facilities to ensure the empowerment and resilience of the local health system and the community.
Since April 2018, ALIMA has been operating in the DS of Kémo and Nana-Gribizi as part of the RRM. The project includes humanitarian monitoring and analysis of needs after a shock and made it possible to carry out 8 missions to assess the needs of displaced populations in order to meet their needs. In addition, ALIMA began to support the Mbrès hospital, notably the Maternity and Pediatric services, the stabilization of trauma cases and other emergencies. Since April 2019, the action at the Nana-Gribizi level has had two components: an RRM response strategy to humanitarian shock and in the event of an epidemic and a second component in support of the AS de Mbrès FOSA.
