The Central African Republic’s development remains constrained by limited infrastructure and low institutional capacity, with transportation networks, energy supply and communications systems underdeveloped and often unreliable. Agriculture and natural resource sectors dominate the economy amid persistent poverty and security challenges. Enhancing infrastructure - including rehabilitation of roads, expanded power capacity and improved logistics - is a priority for boosting economic activity and market access, but progress is often slowed by fiscal and governance limitations that also hamper private investment.
