To His Excellency Alassane Ouattara
President of the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire
Palais de la Présidence, Abidjan
Your Excellency,
To analyze the state of Côte d’Ivoire in June 2026 is to observe a nation navigating the complexities of a new era. Following your victory in the October 2025 presidential election and the subsequent formation of your government in early 2026, the country stands as a regional economic powerhouse. Yet, beneath the impressive macroeconomic indicators, there lies a populace balancing the pride of national growth with the sobering reality of daily challenges. The Ivorian people are living in a climate of relative stability, but they are also watchful, as they seek to understand how this fourth term will address the lingering fissures of social inequality and political inclusion.
Your mandate for the remainder of 2026 is to ensure that the "Ivorian Miracle" is not merely a macroeconomic narrative, but a lived experience for all citizens:
The Social Contract and Cost of Living: While your administration has overseen robust GDP growth, the average Ivorian is currently preoccupied with the cost of living. Inflation, while controlled relative to the region, still exerts significant pressure on household budgets. The citizens are looking for policies that translate industrial expansion and infrastructure progress into lower prices for basic goods and reliable access to essential services in both urban centers and rural provinces.
The Succession and Political Landscape: Your victory in 2025 has consolidated your leadership, yet the political environment remains sensitive. The exclusion of major opposition figures from the ballot has left a segment of the population feeling politically marginalized. The people hope for a second half of 2026 that prioritizes national reconciliation and the strengthening of democratic institutions, ensuring that the political space remains inclusive and that the transition of power, when the time comes, is transparent and stable.
Youth Empowerment and Job Creation: Côte d'Ivoire has a young, vibrant population that is increasingly anxious about its future. They are no longer content with being "potential" contributors; they demand tangible pathways to entrepreneurship and professional employment. The transition from a cocoa-dependent economy to a more diversified industrial base must happen faster to absorb the thousands of young people entering the labor market every year.
Governance and Transparency: You have positioned the country as an attractive destination for foreign investment. However, to maintain this momentum, your administration must tackle the perceptions of systemic inefficiency and patronage. The people need to see that your development projects—from the expansion of ports to the digital transformation of the economy—are executed with maximum transparency, ensuring that resources reach the intended communities without being diluted by bureaucratic friction.
Mr. President, your legacy is already etched into the modern history of Côte d’Ivoire. The hope the people vest in you is that this final term will be remembered for its capacity to deepen democracy and extend the fruits of prosperity to every Ivorian, regardless of their political affiliation or geographic location.

À Son Excellence Alassane OuattaraPrésident de la République de Côte d'Ivoire
Palais de la Présidence, Abidjan
Votre Excellence,
Analyser l'état de la Côte d'Ivoire en juin 2026 revient à observer une nation qui navigue les complexités d'une nouvelle ère. À la suite de votre victoire à l'élection présidentielle d'octobre 2025 et de la formation subséquente de votre gouvernement au début de 2026, le pays se présente comme une puissance économique régionale. Pourtant, sous des indicateurs macroéconomiques impressionnants, se trouve une population qui conjugue la fierté de la croissance nationale avec la réalité sobre des difficultés quotidiennes. Le peuple ivoirien vit dans un climat de stabilité relative, mais il reste vigilant, cherchant à comprendre comment ce quatrième mandat abordera les fissures persistantes d'inégalité sociale et d'inclusion politique.
Votre mandat pour le reste de l'année 2026 est d'assurer que le « miracle ivoirien » ne soit pas seulement un récit macroéconomique, mais une expérience vécue par tous les citoyens :
Le contrat social et le coût de la vie : Bien que votre administration ait supervisé une croissance solide du PIB, l'Ivoirien moyen est actuellement préoccupé par le coût de la vie. L'inflation, bien que maîtrisée par rapport à la région, exerce néanmoins une pression significative sur les budgets des ménages. Les citoyens attendent des politiques qui traduisent l'expansion industrielle et les progrès infrastructurels en prix plus bas pour les produits de première nécessité et en accès fiable aux services essentiels, tant dans les centres urbains que dans les provinces rurales.
La succession et le paysage politique : Votre victoire en 2025 a consolidé votre leadership, cependant l'environnement politique demeure sensible. L'exclusion de figures majeures de l'opposition de la liste électorale a laissé un segment de la population se sentant politiquement marginalisé. Le peuple espère pour la seconde moitié de 2026 une priorité donnée à la réconciliation nationale et au renforcement des institutions démocratiques, garantissant que l'espace politique reste inclusif et que la transition du pouvoir, le moment venu, soit transparente et stable.
L'autonomisation des jeunes et la création d'emplois : La Côte d'Ivoire a une population jeune et dynamique qui s'inquiète de plus en plus de son avenir. Elle ne se contente plus d'être des contributeurs « potentiels » ; elle exige des voies tangibles vers l'entrepreneuriat et l'emploi professionnel. La transition d'une économie dépendante du cacao vers une base industrielle plus diversifiée doit s'accélérer pour absorber les milliers de jeunes qui entrent chaque année sur le marché du travail.
Gouvernance et transparence : Vous avez positionné le pays comme une destination attractive pour l'investissement étranger. Cependant, pour maintenir cet élan, votre administration doit s'attaquer aux perceptions d'inefficacité systémique et de clientélisme. Le peuple doit voir que vos projets de développement — de l'extension des ports à la transformation numérique de l'économie — sont exécutés avec la plus grande transparence, garantissant que les ressources parviennent aux communautés visées sans être diluées par les frictions bureaucratiques.
Monsieur le Président, votre héritage est déjà gravé dans l'histoire moderne de la Côte d'Ivoire. L'espoir que le peuple place en vous est que ce dernier mandat soit retenu pour sa capacité à approfondir la démocratie et à étendre les fruits de la prospérité à chaque Ivoirien, quelle que soit son appartenance politique ou sa localisation géographique.
