# The European Commission is allocating over 454-billion-rand in humanitarian assistance for the most vulnerable people in West and Central Africa. The funds will support those affected by current conflicts and food crises, forcibly displaced people, host communities, and hard-to-reach populations. This is in countries including Cameroon, Nigeria, Burkina Faso and Chad. The European Union says the primary driver of the humanitarian crises is conflict, further intensified by the adverse effects of climate change and a multitude of local factors related to governance and resources.
