Available on custom request. The ecosystem is mapped at baseline level on Expert — live figures below.
The urban modules matter more than the national envelope: 68.4 % of composition variance sits within countries (COTEE, H4). Live from Expert · pipeline 30 Oct 2026.
A country report does not add up a score. It reads the ecosystem as a cultivated order: the soil (rule enforcement) conditions what the seed (actors present) and the gardener (built support) can produce — then measures the meta-organization, gender inclusion and the AEEI pillars on the same grid.
Enforcement -1.53 (rules weakly applied); built support 60 %, base endowment 28 %; 36 % of actors created by the State or donors; 1 urban modules on 47 actors. Expected creation 0.0 → 0.0 new firms per 1,000 adults if rules were enforced: the soil, not the seed, is the binding constraint.
Coverage CI 100 % (world 100 %); functional differentiation FDI 0.93 (world 0.88); service redundancy SRI 2.94 (world 2.00); VRIO coverage 0.29 (world 0.21); effectiveness EES 0.73 (world 0.72); network density 0.100. The report then applies the readings — resilience-adjusted redundancy, governance vs endowment, form vs substance, three-mechanism index — to Central African Republic.
AGI 47/100 (economic 72, social —, representation 23), rank 26 / 53 in Africa and 120 / 176 globally; 1 women-focused structures out of 49 actors (20.4 ‰). Read next to the continental picture: mean 49, social dimension weakest (19/100), economic strongest (64/100).
Composite —, rank not ranked. Strengths: formal institutions (0.37), demand (0.05), networks & intermediaries (0.03). Weaknesses: talent & knowledge (0.00, −0.32 vs mean), physical infrastructure (0.00, −0.36 vs mean). Each pillar is sorted into Soil, Seed, Gardener or Environment and read conditionally on enforcement.
Central African Republic scored on the ten entrepreneurial-ecosystem elements (Stam & van de Ven, 2021), grouped into 7 pillars and re-read through the COTEE framework on Expert.
On Expert, the AEEI elements are sorted into COTEE layers — Soil (rules), Seed (contents), Gardener (apparatus) — and read conditionally: contents only pay off where rules bind.
