Abidjan — Who actually decides which radio frequencies circulate across Côte d’Ivoire? How are they handed out, supervised, and protected from interference? And what has the Agence ivoirienne de Gestion des Fréquences (AIGF) achieved so far — plus what comes next? Those are the questions that will take centre stage at a public briefing scheduled for Tuesday, 29 September 2026, starting at 15:00.
What is at stake at the 29 September briefing
The session forms part of the “Tout Savoir Sur” (TSS) series, built around the theme “The management and control of radio frequencies in Côte d’Ivoire.” It is being put together by the Centre d’Information et de Communication Gouvernementale (CICG) and will be streamed live across the government’s digital platforms, including Facebook, X and YouTube. Citizens are encouraged to follow the discussion in real time and to send in their questions as the conversation unfolds.
Who will be answering the questions
Aliou Bamba, director of national frequency management at the AIGF, is the guest speaker. He will walk the audience through the agency’s core missions in spectrum management and explain the mechanisms designed to keep frequencies used in a rational, efficient and secure way throughout the country.
Topics on the agenda
- How frequencies are allocated and assigned
- The conditions attached to spectrum use
- Surveillance and control tools meant to prevent and resolve jamming and interference
- A review of the AIGF’s recent actions
- The outlook for improving management and oversight of this strategic resource
Where and how to follow the discussion
The briefing will be held at the offices of the Système intégré de gestion du foncier urbain (SIGFU), in the administrative district of Abidjan-Plateau, in the presence of journalists and sector stakeholders.
Why this series matters
Held every Tuesday by the CICG, “Tout Savoir Sur” serves as a bridge between public institutions, the media and citizens, helping people better understand public policies and services.
