National Development Plan (PND) 2026-2030 2026-2030: Côte d’Ivoire Secures $80 Billion in Commitments at the Launch of the Consultative Group

Côte d’Ivoire has reached a major milestone in the financing of its National Development Plan (PND) 2026-2030. At the opening of the Consultative Group meeting held on July 8, 2026, at Sofitel Abidjan Hôtel Ivoire, development partners announced financial commitments amounting to US$80 billion, equivalent to approximately CFAF 47,820 billion.

This amount far exceeds the initial fundraising target of US$20.3 billion, reflecting strong confidence from international partners in Côte d’Ivoire’s economic outlook and development ambitions.

The opening ceremony was chaired by the Vice-President of the Republic, Tiémoko Meyliet Koné, representing President Alassane Ouattara, and brought together more than 3,000 participants from 49 countries. The event was attended by senior representatives from major international institutions, including the World Bank, the African Development Bank (AfDB), the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), the United Nations, represented by Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed, as well as the European Union.

The PND 2026-2030 requires a total investment of CFAF 114,838.5 billion (approximately US$209 billion), with 70.2% expected to come from the private sector. The plan serves as the country’s strategic roadmap to accelerate economic transformation, strengthen industrial development, expand infrastructure, enhance human capital and promote inclusive and sustainable growth.

Alongside the discussions, 52 stands featuring Ivorian public and private companies are showcasing national expertise and highlighting investment opportunities available in Côte d’Ivoire.

These commitments come amid strong economic performance by the country. Over the past fifteen years, Côte d’Ivoire has maintained annual economic growth above 6%, doubled the size of its economy and reduced the poverty rate from 55.4% in 2011 to 37.5% in 2021.

The Consultative Group meetings continue on July 9 with a dedicated session focused on private investors, aimed at further strengthening partnerships and mobilizing additional resources for the successful implementation of the PND 2026-2030.
