Côte d’Ivoire digital transformation initiatives

Côte d’Ivoire is advancing its digital infrastructure through targeted sectoral improvements and broad administrative reforms.

In the healthcare sector, the Ministry of Health has expanded the mHealth.ci digital platform into the Gontougo region. Supported by international partners including UNICEF and the Mastercard Foundation, the initiative involves the deployment of 650 IT devices—comprising smartphones and tablets—to community health workers. These tools are designed to assist in diagnosing childhood illnesses and collecting health data, even in rural areas with limited electricity, via solar-rechargeable batteries and offline functionality.

On a national scale, the government has launched a digital transformation plan aiming to provide 700 digital public services by 2029. This strategy seeks to move toward a ‘zero paper’ administration by 2030 by focusing on interoperability and the pooling of digital infrastructures. The roadmap begins with identifying approximately 100 priority services to be integrated into a national interoperability platform, intended to reduce administrative duplication and simplify procedures for citizens and businesses.
