The African-led International Support Mission to the Central African Republic^[1] (French: Mission internationale de soutien à la Centrafrique sous conduite africaine, MISCA^[2]) was an African Union peacekeeping mission to the Central African Republic. It was established on 5 December 2013 by United Nations Security Council resolution 2127 to stabilise the country as a result of the Central African Republic conflict under the Djotodia administration and following the 2013 Central African Republic coup d'état.

The mission, officially backed by France and initially led by the African Union, was deployed on 19 December 2013. The resolution includes the option to transfer it to a larger mission under United Nations authority with peacekeeping forces from more countries – if needed and if appropriate local conditions are met.

The Security Council authorized on 10 April 2014 deployment of a multidimensional United Nations peacekeeping operation in the Central African Republic, MINUSCA. As a consequence, on 15 September 2014, the African-led International Support Mission in the Central African Republic (MISCA) transferred its authority over to MINUSCA, in accordance with resolution 2149 (2014).^[3]
