On 11 November, the Peacebuilding Commission provided written advice to the Security Council on CAR upon completion of the Chair of CAR configuration, H.E. Mr. Omar Hilale, visit to Bangui. The visit focused on the interlinkages between the political, security, economic and humanitarian challenges currently facing the country; assessed the state of implementation of the National Recovery and Peacebuilding Plan (RCPCA) as well as gaining an appreciation of CAR’s efforts in fighting impunity, and strengthening its rule of law and justice sector. The advice therefore focused its recommendations on calling for continued support towards the implementation of the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation in the Central African Republic (APPR-CAR) and the disarmament and demobilization process as an essential means to fostering greater security and stability in CAR. In that regard. the PBC noted the valuable role of the PBF in supporting projects that promote the reintegration of ex-combatants and in promoting community resilience through the engagement of youth and women. The Commission underscored the enduring relevance of MINUSCA’s deployment and mandate and noted that the upcoming local elections offer a unique opportunity to make further progress in the political and peace processes.
