Ivory Coast youth and migrant development initiatives

Overview

Ivory Coast has implemented several programs aimed at supporting youth and migrant populations through health, education, and economic reintegration.

A $9.5 million partnership involving the government, the Republic of Korea, and UNICEF has focused on improving health and education services for adolescents in the northern regions of Poro, Tchologo, and Bagoué. This initiative included the inauguration of a school and university health center in Korhogo, the establishment of health infrastructure in Ferkessédougou and Boundiali, and the construction of new classrooms at Ibrahima Koné High School.

Additionally, the government launched the KITLANY pilot program, a $3.4 million initiative designed to assist 300 returning migrants and local youths with vocational training, psychosocial support, and job creation. Minister Delegate Adama Dosso noted that the country assisted 4,125 returning migrants by the end of September 2026, an increase from the 2,313 assisted during 2025.
