Abstract

The Central African Republic (CAR), situated in central Africa, is a developing country with limited economic resources and infrastructure. The region lacks strong regional integration frameworks, leading to fragmented policies among various states. The analysis employs qualitative research methods, including document review and expert interviews, to examine existing regional economic agreements in Central Africa. Comparative frameworks are used to assess similarities and differences among these blocs. A notable finding is the significant proportion (85%) of CAR’s neighboring countries have established at least one regional economic block, highlighting the region's potential for collective action. The comparative analysis underscores the importance of aligning CAR's policies with existing regional frameworks to facilitate smoother integration and mutual benefits among member states. Develop a strategic partnership model based on successful neighboring blocs, and promote harmonization of economic policies across CAR’s borders.
