On Wednesday, September 18, the Ivorian government approved the signing with the West African Development Bank (BOAD) of three financing agreements for three structural projects with a total amount of 81.6 billion CFA francs (about 138 million dollars).

BOAD will use the agreements to finance the project to build and equip ten civic service centers across the country. Financed to the tune of 21.6 billion CFA francs (about 37 million dollars), this project aims to accelerate the professional integration of young people in vulnerable situations, by offering them technical training and by promoting their civic engagement. The bank will also allocate 30 billion CFA francs (about 51 million dollars) to the project to develop and asphalt the main road in the north of the country. This project will make it possible to open up the various localities in this region and to facilitate trade with neighboring countries. Likewise, BOAD will also devote 30 billion CFA francs to the rehabilitation project of two administrative buildings
