The Central African Republic's Voice and Accountability indicator, as measured by the World Bank's Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI), has experienced a generally downward trend since 1996, with a few fluctuations. The indicator peaked at -0.67 in 2000, indicating relatively better governance, but subsequently declined to an all-time low of -1.47 in 2013. Comparatively, peer countries such as Mali, with a score of -1.31, also struggled with governance issues. In 2025, the Central African Republic's Voice and Accountability score stands at -1.24, ranking it 173rd globally. This decline in governance suggests a lack of improvements in the country's institutions, rule of law, and citizen participation. A potential shift in the trajectory could be seen if the government makes concerted efforts to address the root causes of instability and implement reforms aimed at strengthening institutions and promoting accountability.
