<p>DFID officials have conducted quarterly visits to the Central African Republic

</p><p> </p><p>DFID is committed to supporting economic recovery initiatives in CAR.
The conflict that has affected CAR since 2013 has had a severe impact on agriculture,
which represents almost 60% of the country’s economy. The UK has provided £27million
since 2013 to the Food and Agriculture Organisation, the International Committee of
the Red Cross, the Common Humanitarian Fund and NGOs to provide urgent humanitarian
aid as well as agricultural inputs and technical training to CAR farmers, and to facilitate
cattle vaccination campaigns to support traditional herders. In 2015, UK funding will
support the livelihoods of more than 170,000 people in CAR.</p>
