The Head of Mission of EUAM RCA led a field mission along the Bangui–Bouar–Béloko corridor (Corridor 6), engaging with national authorities and internal security actors across a key axis connecting the Central African Republic 🇨🇫 to Cameroon 🇨🇲 and wider regional trade routes.
Linking Bangui to the border with Cameroon, this corridor is central to trade flows, state revenue, territorial continuity and regional exchanges. Its effective management requires coordinated action between police, gendarmerie, customs and other state services, alongside a sustained and coherent state presence along the axis.
The mission enabled direct exchanges with police, gendarmerie, customs and local authorities, focusing on operational conditions, infrastructure, coordination mechanisms and border management capacities. Particular attention was given to interoperability between security actors and the functioning of state services along the corridor.
This engagement marks a concrete step in advancing EUAM RCA’s activities under its mandate, in support of the Central African authorities’ priorities and contributing to broader European Union 🇪🇺 efforts to promote secure and well-governed connectivity. By strengthening coordination, interoperability and institutional capacity along a key economic corridor, EUAM RCA contributes to reinforcing state authority, improving oversight of cross-border flows and enabling more effective and accountable security governance—core elements for national stability and regional connectivity.
