President Alassane Ouattara expressed satisfaction with the record mobilisation of over $47 billion in funding from international partners for the Côte d’Ivoire’s development plans.
This was announced after a two-day meeting of the Consultative Group on the financing of the National Development Plan (PND) 2026-2030, which brought together over 2,000 investors from 49 countries in Abidjan.
The funding deal includes commitments of $80 billion from international partners, exceeding the initial target of $11.1 billion.
The PND 2026-2030 aims to build a stable, ambitious and solidary nation. With a global investment volume of over $209 billion over five years, it is expected to be driven by the private sector, which will also focus on supporting Ivoirian businesses through six key priorities: peace, security and stability; agriculture and agro-industry; development of the private sector and industrialisation; human capital; strategic infrastructure; good governance and modernising the state.
The plan is designed to transform Côte d’Ivoire into an upper-middle-income economy by 2030, with a GDP per capita of $4,500 and a poverty rate below 20%.
President Ouattara hailed the deal as a testament to the confidence international partners have in Côte d’Ivoire’s fundamentals, strategy and development prospects.
‘We will turn this trust into tangible achievements for every Ivoirian,’ he said, vowing to continue the country’s development journey with determination and unity.
