President Alassane Ouattara expressed his satisfaction with the record mobilization of over $47 billion in financing for the Côte d’Ivoire’s National Development Plan (PND) 2026-2030.
This milestone was achieved through the efforts of more than 2,000 investors from 49 countries who gathered in Abidjan last week to discuss the PND’s ambitious goals and strategies.
The financing commitment represents a significant increase over the initial target of $11.1 billion and is expected to support the country’s development objectives, including improving education, healthcare, infrastructure, and economic growth.
According to Ouattara, this success demonstrates the international community’s confidence in Côte d’Ivoire’s ability to implement its development plan effectively.
The PND 2026-2030 aims to build a stable, ambitious, and solidaristic nation through six key priorities: peace and security, agriculture and agro-industry, private sector development and industrialization, human capital, infrastructure development, and good governance.
Ouattara emphasized the importance of mobilizing all sectors of society to achieve these goals, which include increasing the country’s GDP per capita to $4,500 by 2030 and reducing poverty rates below 20%.
‘Together, with confidence, determination, and unity, we will continue to build a more prosperous and solidaristic Côte d’Ivoire,’ Ouattara concluded.
