LIVING CONDITIONS :
The Central African Republic is today one of the most dangerous countries in the world for humanitarians. Incidents directly affecting aid workers have been steadily increasing since 2015, reaching an average of 43 incidents per month in 2017. The main risk for NGOs today is the robbery, on the basis or on the axes, of a criminal nature. This security context affects both the living and working conditions of expatriates and national staff, as well as the implementation of activities (regularly suspended following security incidents).
Bangui is a medium-sized, very green city, with a fairly low density, where traveling is easy. The city is bordered on the south by the river Oubangui, on the banks of which there are bars, terraces and sports equipment: swimming pool, tennis and squash courts, a gym ... In general, it is a pretty quiet city ; even if we must bear in mind the general fragility of the Central African context and the possibility of a deterioration of the security situation even in Bangui (scenario unlikely today but volatile context).
It is possible to find a lot of French products in the big supermarkets of Bangui, but at a relatively high price. There are many restaurants (French cuisine, Lebanese, Chinese, and of course African) in which it is allowed to go the day and evening, respecting curfew currently set at 23h (but likely to evolve). Some restaurants also deliver at home. The large number of NGOs based in Bangui greatly facilitates social life (evenings every weekend).
