Côte d’Ivoire’s development policy under spotlight at government forum

The Minister of Planning and Development, Souleymane Diarrassouba, will take center stage at a pivotal government forum in Abidjan on July 20, 2026. The event, scheduled for 10:00 AM at the Prime Minister’s auditorium in Plateau, marks a key moment in public communication efforts.

Broadcast live across the government’s digital platforms—including Facebook, X, TikTok, and YouTube—this press briefing will bring together national and international media. The focus will be on the National Development Policy (PND), with Diarrassouba detailing its core objectives and the administration’s strategic priorities.

Key areas of discussion will include structural economic transformation, industrialization, human capital development, infrastructure modernization, governance reforms, and balanced regional growth. The forum is designed as a dynamic platform for dialogue between government officials, journalists, business leaders, and civil society representatives, fostering transparency and citizen engagement.

Organized by the Government Information and Communication Center (CICG), the Government Rendezvous series serves as a bridge between official policy and public awareness, ensuring that national initiatives are both understood and supported by the people.
