Cote d'Ivoire
Republic of Cote d'Ivoire
Cote d'Ivoire is the largest economy in francophone West Africa and the world's largest producer of cocoa beans, accounting for approximately 40% of global supply. The economy has grown at an average of 7% annually since 2012, making it one of Africa's fastest-growing economies.
The country serves as the economic hub of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) and hosts the regional stock exchange (BRVM) in Abidjan. The port of Abidjan is the busiest in West Africa. Key sectors include cocoa, cashew nuts, rubber, palm oil, mining (gold), and an expanding services sector.
The government's Plan National de Developpement (PND) 2021-2025 targets industrial transformation and infrastructure development, with mega-projects including the Abidjan Metro and new Abidjan airport.

Climate Readiness Full ranking
How this is computed
Adaptive capacity to absorb climate finance and adapt, following the readiness dimension of the ND-GAIN framework. Built only from measured values already held on each country profile. It is not a measure of emissions or physical climate vulnerability, which the platform does not yet hold.
- Energy access (30%) — World Bank, access to electricity (% of population). The single most climate and energy specific signal held: SDG 7 and the clean-energy transition.
- Governance readiness (20%) — Transparency International, Corruption Perceptions Index (0-100). ND-GAIN governance readiness: the capacity to govern and deploy climate finance. Higher is cleaner.
- Human readiness (20%) — UNDP, Human Development Index (0-1). ND-GAIN social readiness: the adaptive capacity of the population.
- Economic readiness (15%) — World Bank, GDP per capita (current US$), latest measured year. ND-GAIN economic readiness: the capacity to finance adaptation. Scored relative to the covered set.
- Digital readiness (15%) — World Bank, individuals using the Internet (% of population). Information systems for early warning and adaptation.
A country is scored only when at least 4 of the five indicators are held. Sub-scores are weighted and renormalised over the indicators that are present; nothing is estimated for one that is absent.
