Central Africa

Central Africa is a subregion of the African continent comprising various countries according to different definitions. Middle Africa is an analogous term used by the United Nations in its geoscheme for Africa and consists of the following countries: Angola, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Rwanda, and São Tomé and Príncipe.[1] These eleven countries are members of the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS).[1] Six of those countries (Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, and Republic of the Congo) are also members of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC) and share a common currency, the Central African CFA franc.[2]

For the country, see Central African Republic. For the region of the African Union, see Regions of the African Union § Central. For the former British colony, now called Malawi, see British Central Africa Protectorate. For the Central African Federation (1953–1963), see Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland. For the time zone, see Central Africa Time.
