Côte d’Ivoire - Emergency Programme to Restore Basic Social and Administrative Services (PURSSAB)

The Emergency Programme to Restore Basic Social and Administrative Services (PURSSAB) seeks to address the country’s urgent needs through the restoration of basic health, educational and social welfare services, water and sanitation networks, public administration services, as well as dialogue, social cohesion and reconciliation mechanisms. The programme should enable the Government to have better knowledge of the impact that the crisis has had on the economy, deploy a “Dialogue, Truth and Reconciliation Commission” and conduct the related hearings. It contributes to institutional development by restoring the operation of basic public services. The main expected outcomes include restoring the operation of basic health units (50%), schools and social welfare centres. It also involves access to drinking water and sanitation for 80% of the population. The PURSSAB comprises two (02) components, namely: (i) restoring access to basic social and administrative services; and (ii) contribute to the enhancement of social cohesion and reconciliation.
