Central African Republic
Central African Republic
The Central African Republic is one of the world's least developed countries despite significant mineral wealth (diamonds, gold, uranium). The economy depends on subsistence agriculture, forestry (timber), and artisanal mining. Security challenges from armed groups affect most of the territory. The Kimberley Process suspension on diamond exports has been partially lifted for compliant zones. The country operates within the CFA franc zone (CEMAC). Foreign investment is minimal due to security risks and infrastructure deficits. The UN peacekeeping mission MINUSCA operates in the country.

Climate Readiness Full ranking
How this is computed
Adaptive capacity to absorb climate finance and adapt, following the readiness dimension of the ND-GAIN framework. Built only from measured values already held on each country profile. It is not a measure of emissions or physical climate vulnerability, which the platform does not yet hold.
- Energy access (30%) — World Bank, access to electricity (% of population). The single most climate and energy specific signal held: SDG 7 and the clean-energy transition.
- Governance readiness (20%) — Transparency International, Corruption Perceptions Index (0-100). ND-GAIN governance readiness: the capacity to govern and deploy climate finance. Higher is cleaner.
- Human readiness (20%) — UNDP, Human Development Index (0-1). ND-GAIN social readiness: the adaptive capacity of the population.
- Economic readiness (15%) — World Bank, GDP per capita (current US$), latest measured year. ND-GAIN economic readiness: the capacity to finance adaptation. Scored relative to the covered set.
- Digital readiness (15%) — World Bank, individuals using the Internet (% of population). Information systems for early warning and adaptation.
A country is scored only when at least 4 of the five indicators are held. Sub-scores are weighted and renormalised over the indicators that are present; nothing is estimated for one that is absent.
