Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara expressed his satisfaction with the outcomes of the Consultative Group for Financing the National Development Plan (PND) 2026-2030, which successfully mobilized 47.8 trillion West African CFA francs—equivalent to approximately $80 billion. This funding exceeds the initial private sector target by nearly four times.

President Ouattara emphasized that this achievement underscores the international community’s confidence in Côte d’Ivoire’s growth trajectory. He pledged that the government will channel these resources into tangible projects to upgrade infrastructure and expand economic opportunities nationwide.

The PND 2026-2030 outlines six core priorities: peace and security, agriculture, private sector growth, human capital development, infrastructure, and governance. The plan aims to elevate Côte d’Ivoire to an upper-middle-income economy by 2030, targeting a GDP per capita of $4,500 and reducing poverty to below 20%.

The Consultative Group meeting in Abidjan brought together over 2,000 investors from 49 countries, including financial institutions and corporate leaders, to finalize funding strategies for the PND.
