This follows the confirmation of Ebola cases in provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo that border the Central African Republic, increasing the risk of spread. The funds will strengthen surveillance, isolation capacity, community engagement, and access to water. The Central African Republic already faces a humanitarian crisis, with 2.3 million people in need of assistance.
