On 26 June 2007, 14 countries and 18 international and international financial organizations met for a first consultation of development partners on the situation in the Central African Republic. This meeting will be followed by a wider donor round table in October 2007.

During the consultation, the CAR Government presented its reconstruction strategy for the landlocked, conflict- and debt-burdened country. Government representatives also illustrated the current situation in a number of sectors, such as economy and finance, security sector reform, infrastructure, gender, education, health, rural development.
