WADB Earmarks $2.2B to Support Côte d’Ivoire’s National Development Plan 2026-2030

On 8 July 2026, the West African Development Bank (WADB) announced that is supporting the National Development Plan (#NDP) 2026-2030 of Côte d’Ivoire with a financial package of FCFA 1,300 billion ($2.3B). The announcement was made during the consultative meeting on the NDP with financiers in Abidjan.

Actually, the WADB already approved a previous tranche of USD 760 million. With the new package, the total amount earmarked for Côte d’Ivoire approaches USD 3 billion. The Government of Côte d’Ivoire plans to raise capital to the tune of FCFA 11,138 billion ($20B) for the 800 projects identified in the NDP.

The Government of Côte d’Ivoire intends to leverage #BlendedFinance by fully mobilizing private capital through initial public funding in order to provide the private sector with a certain level of comfort. Actually, the target is to secure at least 70% of funding from the private sector. International lenders are also expected to come into play once the national and regional players have committed funds to the NDP.
