Scores across nearly all criminal markets are very poor. Illicit mining and trafficking of diamonds are omnipresent throughout the CAR, and mafia-style groups are heavily involved in these activities. These groups are also often involved in other high-scoring criminal markets, such as arms trafficking and the fauna criminal market, in which foreign actors play an influential role. Organised crime is ubiquitous and experts note the CAR’s state apparatus has failed for years, which is reflected in the nation being ranked 52nd in Africa for resilience. There is no evidence of any polices or strategies having been implemented to prevent organised crime, and capacity to combat it is non-existent. Corruption is reported to be highly prevalent in government, which often cooperates with and facilitates the criminal actors that operate in the country. This, combined with the porous borders and the dominance of mafia style groups, leads the CAR to be highly affected by organised crime, with no signs of change.
