Since the return to political stability in 2011, Côte d'Ivoire has built its development on successive five-year planning cycles. The 2012-2015, 2016-2020 and 2021-2025 PNDs have profoundly reshaped the economic and social trajectory of the country, with average growth of 6.5% recorded during the last cycle. It is in this continuity that the President of the Republic, H.E Alassane OUATTARA, committed his government, during the Council of Ministers of February 4, 2026, to the adoption of the fourth National Development Plan. Designed as a strategic framework for inclusive and sustainable development, the PND 2026-2030 is also part of the prospective vision “Côte d'Ivoire 2040”. 0);">The strategic architecture of the plan is based on six fundamental pillars which are the consolidation of security and stability, the modernization of agriculture, the promotion of private investment, the development of human capital, the strengthening of strategic infrastructure and the promotion of good governance. Its implementation is also based on a reform matrix covering 22 priority areas, a portfolio of structuring projects and a reinforced monitoring-evaluation system. In its overall philosophy, this new plan takes into account the deep aspirations of Ivorian youth, particularly in terms of employment, training and social inclusion. Regarding macroeconomic objectives, the targets set by the government are commensurate with the investment made. Ivory Coast projects average economic growth of 7.2% over the period 2026-2030, with an investment rate expected to reach 34.5% of GDP. On a social level, the objective is to reduce the poverty rate below 20% by 2030, while raising the average income per capita to $4,000. All of these targets converge towards a central ambition, to integrate Côte d'Ivoire into the group of upper middle-income countries, in accordance with the commitments made within the framework of vision 2040. 0);">The great singularity of the PND 2026-2030 lies in its financial architecture. Of the overall envelope of 175 billion euros, 70.2% will have to come from the private sector, compared to only 29.8% from the public sector. This bet on private capital is accepted. It reflects the government's desire to make business the main engine of the country's structural transformation. Public financing needs are estimated at 38,000 billion FCFA, which will be mobilized mainly on the financial market, in addition to internal resources and economic partnerships. A consultative group is planned for this purpose to bring together technical and financial partners around the plan. The success of such a plan will not rely solely on the mobilization of resources. And the government is aware of this. This is why it has put in place a rigorous governance system and an efficient monitoring-evaluation mechanism, strongly involving public and private actors. Its development itself was part of a broader consultation process, involving administrations, civil society and the private sector. This participatory process constitutes one of the guarantees of its legitimacy and its appropriation by all national development actors. 

By undertaking the most ambitious investment program in its recent history, Côte d'Ivoire confirms its desire to consolidate a decade of sustained growth. The PND 2026-2030 is not limited to a budgetary planning exercise, it represents a societal project that focuses on structural transformation, youth and private initiative to build, by the end of the decade, a united, competitive and resilient nation.
