EC extends mandate of EU advisory mission in CAR for two years

Brussels, Belgium (PANA) - The European Council has adopted a decision extending the mandate of the EU advisory mission in the Central African Republic (EUAM RCA) for a further two years, until 7 August 2026, with a budget allocation of over €24 million for this period.

EUAM RCA was established in December 2019 with the objective of supporting the reform of the internal security forces to enable the Central African Republic authorities to mitigate security challenges in the country, thus improving the security situation of the population, contributing to the development of the country and achieving sustainable peace. 

Announcing the extension of the mandate, the Council said that the mission supports the functioning of coherent and accountable security providers, under full national ownership.
