La République centrafricaine (RCA) compte seize préfectures en plus du district de Bangui. Le pays est enclavé, les possibilités de déplacement sont très limitées et il est entouré de pays instables qui connaissent des problèmes de sécurité (Tchad, RDC, Soudan et Cameroun). Une situation sociopolitique instable, des troubles sociaux et des griefs avec de fréquentes grèves des fonctionnaires entraînant l’interruption des services de santé, d’éducation et de la fonction publique en raison d’années de salaires impayés. Les coupures de courant sont la norme, ce qui provoque l’insécurité en ville. La population, y compris les expatriés, est préoccupée par l’augmentation des cas de criminalité, conséquence directe du coup d’État de mars 2013 de la SELEKA – une coalition de groupes rebelles – et des récents événements de décembre 2013 qui ont plongé le pays dans le chaos. Les vols sont susceptibles d’être annulés lorsque la volatilité de la situation sécuritaire augmente. Les vols de l’ONU sont également disponibles pour se déplacer vers les zones d’opération de l’ONU dans le pays. Le programme de R&R a été rétabli depuis août 2013 et maintenu pour tous les lieux d’affectation en RCA à une fréquence de 6 semaines. Les conditions de vie deviennent de plus en plus difficiles en raison de l’augmentation des prix et de la rareté des produits de base et de la nourriture. Les légumes et les fruits frais sont disponibles sur le marché. Les possibilités de logement privé sont limitées et l’obtention d’un logement conforme aux mesures de sécurité peut prendre environ 4 semaines ou plus. Néanmoins, tous les Volontaires des Nations Unies en service peuvent actuellement vivre dans les complexes des Nations Unies, où ils disposent d’un logement décent leur assurant un confort minimum et supérieur. Le coût moyen d’un logement varie d’environ 500 USD, pour un petit appartement sans meubles et sans groupe électrogène, à 1700 USD avec toutes les commodités. Dans le but d’acquérir une expérience enrichissante, les volontaires des Nations Unies en RCA s’acquittent de leurs tâches avec flexibilité, engagement et volonté de vivre et de travailler dans des conditions difficiles, notamment la chaleur et un approvisionnement limité en eau et en électricité.
