Context: In the Yaounde Declaration on Solutions following the conference on Forced Displacement related to the Central African Republic Crisis, para 5 of the Preamble I notes with great concern that “over one million Central Africans have been displaced in one of the most protracted crisis with more than 600,000 internally displaced persons, and nearly 700,000 refugees.” The final para of the Preamble concludes with the acknowledgment of “the need for increased cooperation between the Central African Republic and the main hosting countries on security, humanitarian, peacebuilding, and economic development aspects in order to find durable solutions to forced displacement.” The Yaounde recommendations proposed alongside the Yaounde declaration focussed on four key pillars, briefly as summarised as: 

To strengthen institutional frameworks of protection of refugees and displaced people; To promote their socio-economic inclusion and empowerment; To enable conditions for safe and sustainable return reintegration; To facilitate regional structures for coordinated operations. (Source: UNHCR.org)
