August 13, 2026, marks the 66th <\/sup>anniversary of the independence of the Central African Republic, proclaimed in 1960 at the conclusion of the decolonization process that redrew the political map of the African continent. This date reflects the enduring legacy of the founding momentum driven by Barth\u00e9l\u00e9my Boganda, whose vision of a sovereign Central African state remains a touchstone in the country’s collective memory.<\/p>\n

As an active member of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC) and the African Union, the Central African Republic\u2014under the leadership of President Faustin-Archange Touad\u00e9ra\u2014continues on a path of institutional reconstruction and peacebuilding, guided by the founding values \u200b\u200bof Unity, Dignity, and Work that shape the national motto.<\/p>\n

On the occasion of this anniversary, the Director-General of CAFRAD, Dr. Coffi Dieudonn\u00e9 Assouvi, extends his warmest congratulations to the people and authorities of the Central African Republic. The Organization commends the efforts made regarding governance and institutional development and reaffirms its readiness to support the Central African Republic in strengthening its administrative capacities, in the interest of lasting peace and shared development.<\/p>\n

CAFRAD conveys its warmest wishes to the people and authorities of the Central African Republic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
