The United Nations mission in the Central African Republic ( French Mission des Nations Unies en République centrafricaine , MINURCA ) was based on UN resolution 1159 of March 27, 1998 and took place from April 1998 to February 2000. The almost 1,500- strong MINURCA mission replaced the MISOB peacekeeping forces from Francophone West African countries in the Central African Republic.

The aim of the UN mandate was to ensure security and stability, to prepare for new elections at the end of 1998 and to rebuild the police force in the Central African Republic . After the fighting in the Central African Republic between pro-government and anti-government army units continued despite the deployment of MISOB troops, France decided to abstain from the conflict in West Africa and to withdraw its remaining troops by early 1998.
