CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC (13 September)
Erratic and below-average rains have affected crop development in some regions. Following an above-average harvest in 2001, the food supply situation is satisfactory. With an improvement of the overall security situation, a nationwide curfew was lifted in mid-May nearly one year after its imposition. In late May, WFP began an emergency operation to provide food to some 6 000 IDPs displaced by armed conflict in the northern part of the country.
