Hard hit by two destructive conflicts, in 2002 and in 2010-2011, Ivory Coast remains a fragile country that continues to consolidate towards peace and stability. Through its aid program, Canada’s objectives include strengthening stability and peace in Canada, promoting gender equality and strengthening the social and economic position of women and girls.

The mandate of the ACT for Performance advisor was to identify avenues of development for a potential Canadian programme in Côte d’Ivoire, and involved an exploratory mission to Abidjan to establish a directory of key actors and meet with technical and financial partners. Canada currently supports five West African countries: Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin and Ghana. In total, Canada’s official development assistance (ODA) totalled $5.37 billion in 2017-2018
