The Ivorian government has taken a decisive step in the implementation of its National Development Plan (NDP) 2026-2030 . This Tuesday, June 2, 2026, in Abidjan, ambassadors, multilateral institutions, and technical and financial partners attended the official presentation of the financing strategy for this new five-year program.

This meeting, led by the Minister of Planning and Development, Dr. Souleymane Diarrassouba, serves as a launchpad before the crucial Consultative Group scheduled for July 8 and 9 .

An ambitious plan massively supported by the private sector

Developed under the leadership of President Alassane Ouattara, this new National Development Plan (PND) displays impressive quantified ambitions. The total volume of investments required amounts to 114,838.5 billion FCFA over five years, with a strong strategic choice: to make the private sector the main engine of growth.

1. Private sector: 80,614.7 billion FCFA (i.e., 70.2% of the financing).
2. Public sector: 34,223.9 billion FCFA (i.e., 29.8% of the financing).

"This orientation reflects the State's desire to strengthen the role of the private sector in the structural transformation of the national economy, in an international context marked by a progressive reduction in public development aid," explained Dr. Souleymane Diarrassouba.

The challenge of public funding and the July meeting

To complete the public share, the remaining financing requirement is estimated at 37,933.1 billion FCFA . To meet this, Côte d'Ivoire will rely on regional and international financial markets, but is counting primarily on the July Consultative Group, with a specific mobilization target of 11,138.2 billion FCFA .

Macroeconomic objectives for 2030

Inspired by the presidential vision "Building a Great, Stable, Ambitious and United Nation" , the 2026-2030 National Development Plan aims for major transformations:

1. GDP per capita: Reach $4,500 by 2030.
2. Economic status: To propel Côte d'Ivoire into the upper-middle-income bracket .
3. Budgetary rigor: Reduce the debt/GDP ratio from 57% in 2025 to 54.8% in 2030 , thus remaining well below the 70% ceiling imposed by the WAEMU.

Economic diplomacy in progress

The presentation concluded with a direct exchange between the minister and the diplomatic corps on the implementation modalities and incentives dedicated to private investors.

The minister formally invited all development partners to mobilize massively for the meeting on July 8 and 9. This support is considered essential to send a strong signal of confidence to the markets and guarantee the success of this historic five-year plan.
