The Sofitel Hôtel Ivoire recently hosted the official closing ceremony of the Project to Improve Governance for the Delivery of Basic Services to Citizens (PAGDS). The event was held in the presence of several members of the government, including Pierre Dimba, Minister of Health, and N'Guessan Koffi, Minister of National Education, as well as the Division Director of the World Bank for Côte d'Ivoire, Marie-Chantal Uwanyiligira, and the PAGDS coordinator, Madeleine Yao.

According to Adama Coulibaly, the country's economic transformation now involves "the total digitalization of the administration", the results of the first PAGDS serving as the basis for the future National Development Plan 2026-2030. The project, executed since 2019 with funding of $195 million from the World Bank supplemented by $300 million from the Ivorian State, has made it possible to deploy 23 digital platforms covering budgetary management, public procurement, health, education and financial inclusion.

By opening a new phase of reforms on the mobilization of domestic resources and strengthening citizen control, the Ivorian government confirms its desire to make digital governance a sustainable lever for economic development.
