The technical advisor to the Minister of Economy, Finance, and Budget, Dely Soumahoro, on Monday, March 23, 2026, in Yamoussoukro, outlined the eight priorities around which the ministry’s actions will be structured for the 2027-2029 period, aiming for improved performance.
Dely Soumahoro, representing Minister Adama Coulibaly, chaired the opening of the workshop dedicated to validating the narrative component of the Multi-Year Expenditure Programming Document – Annual Performance Project (DPPD-PAP) and the Performance Framework Presentation Document (DPCP 2027-2029) of the ministry.
Regarding these priorities, the technical advisor explained that they include closing the 2023-2026 economic and financial program; maintaining a solid macroeconomic and financial framework; mobilizing domestic resources to fund government priorities; and accelerating public finance reforms.
Other priorities involve continuing the implementation of the financial sector reform strategy, monitoring the execution of the 2026 budget, preparing the 2027 draft finance bill within constitutional deadlines, executing residual actions arising from FATF recommendations to remove Côte d’Ivoire from the gray list, and strengthening dialogue with the private sector.
Dely Soumahoro emphasized that the production of these two essential documents the DPPD-PAP and the DPCP falls within the program budget framework, which aims to ensure greater coherence between development objectives, budget allocations, and the results to be achieved.
“The effective conduct of our ministry’s missions will largely depend on the quality and content of the DPPD-PAP to be developed,” he insisted.
It should be noted that the DPPD-PAP enables efficient allocation of budgetary resources according to priorities and objectives, while the Annual Performance Report (RAP) allows each program manager to report on their management in line with commitments made under the Finance Act and annual performance projects.
The workshop, organized by the Financial Affairs Directorate, headed by Timité Amadou, will conclude on March 26.
