Côte d'Ivoire Compact

Côte d’Ivoire’s New Education Action Plan Signals a Boost for Women and Girls
The new Gender in Education Policy and Action Plan identifies specific challenges to girls’ participation in school and presents a range of solutions.
Côte d’Ivoire experienced political instability and economic decline throughout the 1990s and 2000s. Between 2012-2019, political stability and policy reforms have allowed the economy to recover from years of stagnation, with an average annual GDP growth rate of eight percent during that period. This progress can be seen in the reduction of the poverty rate stood at 46.3 percent in 2015 to 39.5 percent in 2018, based on World Bank statistics.
Additionally, Côte d’Ivoire graduated from the lower income cohort to the lower-middle income cohort for the scorecard in fiscal year 2021. As a result of the stronger competition in the lower middle income cohort, Côte d’Ivoire passed ten indicators.
The MCC Board of Directors approved a $524.7 million compact for Côte d’Ivoire at its quarterly board meeting in September 2017. The Government of Côte d’Ivoire is expected to provide an additional $22 million to support the feasibility and sustainability of the compact. The program will support the country’s efforts to address key binding constraints to economic growth through investments in the education and transportation sectors.
