Overview

The Central African Republic (CAR) is a landlocked country embarking on a long path to recovery. 

It is one of the poorest and most fragile countries in the world despite its abundant natural resources (470 mineral occurrences, with oil, gold and diamonds having the greatest potential). 

What are the development challenges in Central African Republic?

For over two decades now, the Central African Republic has been mired in crises, the most serious of which was the seizure of power by Seleka in 2013. The latest crisis was triggered by a coalition of rebels in December 2020.
