Côte d’Ivoire’s economic performance has been impressive over the past four years with a robust GDP growth which resulted in a decline in poverty. The government adopted a new National Development Plan (NDP) for the 2016-2020 period, to follow its previous development plan for 2012-2016, which encompasses major structural reforms to achieve a sustained private sector and inclusive growth. The NDP 2016-2020 aims at achieving an emerging economy status for Côte d’Ivoire in 2020, with a substantially reduced poverty rate.
