Three months after the Investment Round Table in Casablanca, the CAR is moving from pledges to practice. What was presented in Morocco as a bold vision under the National Development Plan 2024–2028 is now shaping reforms, investment priorities, and concrete projects on the ground.

From national celebrations and strategic infrastructure projects to high-level diplomatic meetings and agricultural transformation, the past weeks have been intense for the Central African Republic. Here is an overview of recent developments.

Jean-Luc Tete, President of the Society for Sustainable Agricultural Industries (SIAD), outlined a bold and forward-looking vision for the Central African Republic’s role in global climate action during an in-depth interview with Africa24 TV.

“The Central African Republic is making a clear commitment through its National Development Plan for the entire world to see: embarking on an ambitious and sustainable transformation,” affirmed Cheick Kanté, World Bank Division Director for the Central African Republic.

Yesterday His Excellency Professor Faustin Archange Touadéra, President of the Central African Republic, addressed the Nation on the occasion of the 67th anniversary of the Proclamation of the Republic - a moment both of remembrance and renewed ambition.

“The African Development Bank will remain a committed partner to the Central African Republic,” reaffirmed Mamady Souaré, Head of the Bank’s Country Office in Bangui, during his address at the Investment Round Table in Casablanca.

In an in-depth interview with Africa24 TV, the Minister of Finance and Budget of the Central African Republic, Hervé Ndoba, delivered a clear and urgent message: the country must intensify its reforms while securing stronger support from international financial institutions.

“The Central African Republic possesses exceptional strengths: vast natural resources, a strategic geographic position, and a young and dynamic population. These are foundations on which real growth can be built,” says Charlotte Ndaw Sako.
