Farmers in the Central African Republic (CAR) are in urgent need of seeds and tools for the upcoming April planting season, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

The agency is warning that these resources are required in order to prevent further deterioration of the livelihoods of vulnerable populations.
