Cote d'Ivoire First Investment for Growth DPF

closed

The development objective of the First Investment for Growth Development Policy Financing (DPF) for Cote d’Ivoire is: (1) strengthen competition in key enabling sectors and domestic revenue mobilization; (2) expand access to health and education services; and (3) promote the sustainable use of natural resources. The operation is the first in a programmatic series of three single-tranche DPFs in close alignment with the national development plan 2021-2025. It supports key reforms that are important for advancing Cote d’Ivoire’s medium term inclusive growth objective of becoming an upper middle-income economy by 2030, which entails doubling real gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and halving poverty to 20 percent from 39.5 percent in 2018.
