Côte d’Ivoire’s parliament has approved a new National Development Plan (NDP) 2026–2030 aimed at accelerating economic transformation, valued at 114,838.5 billion CFA francs ($206 billion). The plan was unanimously adopted by 203 of 255 lawmakers, reflecting a strong political consensus around prioritising development and long-term growth in one of West Africa’s largest economies.
The financing model gives 70.2 per cent of funding to the private sector, while the public sector provides 29.8 per cent, signalling confidence in private capital’s ability to drive infrastructure and industrial expansion. The strategy is built on six pillars, including industrialisation, infrastructure, human capital, and governance reforms. Authorities target an average annual growth of 7.2 per cent and per capita income of $4,500 by 2030.
The plan now moves to the Senate for review before implementation by the Ministry of Planning and Development. Analysts say the approval signals stability and improves investor confidence in the country’s economic outlook, with the roadmap aiming to guide inclusive, sustainable growth and strengthen Côte d’Ivoire’s position as a key West African economy further.
