Côte d’Ivoire: Senate unanimously adopts 2026–2030 National Development Plan worth 114.8 trillion FCFA

The Senate unanimously adopts the 2026–2030 NDP: Côte d’Ivoire commits to mobilizing 114,838.5 billion FCFA

The Senate of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire unanimously adopted on May 5, 2026, during a plenary session held in Yamoussoukro under the leadership of Senate President Kandia Camara, the bill on the National Development Plan (NDP) 2026–2030. The plan has now acquired the force of law.

Côte d’Ivoire now has a legally binding strategic framework for the next five years, with a total budget of 114,838.5 billion FCFA and a targeted annual growth rate of 7.2%.

This vote concludes a parliamentary process that was unanimously approved at every stage: the Economic and Financial Affairs Committee of the National Assembly on April 7, the National Assembly plenary session on April 14, the Senate Economic and Financial Affairs Committee on April 27, and finally the Senate plenary session.

The NDP 2026–2030 reflects the vision of the President of the Republic, H.E. Alassane Ouattara, to “build a great, stable, ambitious, and united nation.” It is structured around 810 projects across six strategic pillars. More than 70% of financing is expected to come from the private sector, with the goal of positioning Côte d’Ivoire as an upper-middle-income economy by 2030.

The government is now entering the financing mobilization phase. A consultative group will soon be convened to bring together technical and financial partners around the plan’s priorities.

Côte d’Ivoire enters this phase with strong fundamentals: fifteen years of robust growth, a solid macroeconomic framework, a trajectory recognized by international rating agencies Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch, and reinforced by the recent upgrade of the sovereign rating to 6.5 by Bloomfield Intelligence.
