Since the end of 2012, the situation in Central Africa has once again been turbulent, with the economy suffering heavy losses and the government facing extreme financial difficulties. Since President Tuvadra took office in 2016, he has attached great importance to economic development, actively sought international assistance, focused on developing agriculture, prioritized ensuring basic infrastructure services such as drinking water, energy, education, health, and transportation, and encouraged private enterprises to develop and drive youth employment.
