MINUSCA supports the Central African State in the redeployment and effective functioning of territorial administration, particularly in areas that were previously underserved by public services.
Through capacity-building for local authorities, logistical support (mobility, equipment and administrative infrastructure), and assistance to local governance processes, the Mission helps bring the State closer to its citizens, improve the delivery of basic public services, and strengthen the legitimacy of public institutions.
Before 2023, several prefectures continued to face a limited State presence, weak local administrations, and structural constraints affecting the mobility of civil servants and the implementation of decentralization. This situation significantly limited access to essential public services and weakened local governance, particularly in crisis-affected areas.
Between 2023 and 2025, MINUSCA supported the gradual redeployment of civil servants and State employees (FAEs) across the national territory.
Their number increased from 3,418 in 2023 to 5,173 in 2024, reaching 5,703 State employees, including 840 women, by 31 December 2025, reflecting steady progress in the restoration of State presence in key public service sectors.
These efforts resulted in a stronger, more consistent and visible State presence, the reactivation of local administrations, and tangible improvements in people's access to essential public services.

Nana-Gribizi: From a Crisis-Affected Area to Institutional Resilience
The prefecture of Nana-Gribizi was marked by deep community divisions, persistent insecurity, and severely limited public services. The situation was particularly critical in Nana-Outa, a newly created sub-prefecture that lacked essential public institutions, including an operational sub-prefecture, a town hall and a gendarmerie brigade.
Between 2023 and 2025, through an integrated approach combining the protection of civilians, the restoration of State authority, and community dialogue, the situation improved significantly. Today, in the three sub-prefectures of Kaga-Bandoro, Mbrès and Nana-Outa, State institutions are fully operational. Sub-prefectures, town halls, gendarmerie brigades and judicial services are functioning and providing regular services to local communities.
These achievements have contributed to improved security, the restoration of the free movement of people and goods, and greater trust between communities and local authorities. Nana-Gribizi is now widely regarded as a prefecture on the path to institutional resilience, with a visible return of State authority and steadily improving stability.
