CAR: The United Nations Peacebuilding Fund (PBF) allocates 20 million dollars to peacebuilding

The United Nations Peacebuilding Fund (PBF) announced the allocation of 20 million dollars to peacebuilding in the Central African Republic. This funding aims, according to the Assistant Secretary-General for Peacebuilding Support, Judy Cheng-Hopkins, to "deliver peace dividends to all people by increasing security, stimulating economic revitalization and strengthening justice and human rights."

In the area of security sector reform, these "will provide start-up funding to support the construction of two of the four barracks needed to support 10 police contingents."
