Central African Republic does not change its clocks
Central African Republic stays on UTC+1:00 all year. Its offset from UTC never moves, so its relationship to places that do change shifts twice a year instead — which is usually why someone checks. Right now it is 1 hour ahead UTC, and 5 hours ahead New York.
