In the Central African Republic, the issue of energy access reaches a new stage. Civil society organizations have been officially requested to act as a bridge to local populations regarding the challenges and opportunities of the energy transition. This mobilization is structured around the National Energy Pact, a strategic roadmap designed to transform the country's energy landscape. The primary objective of this plan is to break away from dependence on single sources by diversifying the national energy mix. For the authorities and partners involved, this transition is presented as an essential lever to support the nation's socio-economic development. However, the deployment of this policy is not universally accepted. Voices are being raised, particularly among certain observers, to point out the financial viability of this project. These critics highlight the risks related to the high costs of the necessary investments and the State's actual capacity to finance such a transformation over the long term. In this context, the role of civil society becomes crucial. It is no longer just a matter of explaining the Pact, but of fostering citizen ownership while ensuring oversight of the execution of the commitments made. While the course towards more diversified energy seems set, several gray areas remain regarding the precise schedule of achievements and the effective management of the financial resources allocated to this transition. The Central African population, while awaiting tangible results, thus remains at the heart of a debate that directly links their daily lives to global climate and economic issues.
