I. UNDP within the United Nations Sustainable Development

Cooperation Framework
1. Since 2011, Côte d'Ivoire, a lower-middle-income country, has been engaged in a process
of peace consolidation and economic reconstruction after a decade (2000-2010) of political
difficulties that have torn the nation’s socioeconomic fabric, undermined peaceful coexistence
and adversely affected its economic development gains. Since the end of the post-electoral
turmoil, the country recorded strong economic growth of approximately 8.4 per cent annually
(2012-2019) that led to a significant drop in the poverty rate from 44.4 per cent in 2015 to 39.45
per cent in 2018, with regional variations.
2. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has slowed the momentum, with growth
projections revised from 7.2 per cent to 1.8 per cent in 2020. Slow progress towards the
Sustainable Development Goals has impacted the country's response capacities and resilience.
In turn, the impact of the pandemic could slow achievement of the Goals. More than 32 per
cent of households risk falling below the poverty line. Private businesses, public enterprises,
international institutions, non-governmental organizations and other entities were impacted by
the pandemic, which severely compromised job prospects for many young people, especially
women. COVID-19 has highlighted the capacity gap in human capital and the need to address
structural inequalities, particularly quality of and access to public health services.
3. The Government has identified new pillars of the 2021-2025 National Development Plan
(NDP) focused on: deepening governance and modernization of the State; transformation of
the economy; development of human capital; strengthening social inclusion; and regional
development and support to infrastructure. UNDP is positioned as a key partner to support the
country's transformation agenda. The new United Nations Sustainable Development
Cooperation Framework (UNSDCF), coordinated by the office of the Resident Coordinator,
has eight strategic areas perfectly aligned with the NDP: youth promotion; gender equality;
basic education and functional literacy; basic social services; sustainable agriculture;
industrialization; management of natural resources; and governance.
4. On its path to emergence, Côte d'Ivoire faces several structural development challenges,
exacerbated by the unprecedented impact of COVID-19. Aligned to the UNSDCF, in
collaboration with the United Nations family and its partners, UNDP is strategically positioned
to support the Government in addressing four main challenges:
(a) Non-inclusive governance and lack of social cohesion. In 2019, the country engaged in
the third-cycle universal periodic review (UPR) before the Human Rights Council. The
Committee on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women and the
Committee on the Rights of the Child also considered periodic reports submitted to them. The
incomplete transitional justice process and ongoing alleged human rights violations in the
absence of a solid accountability system, constitute major challenges to social cohesion and
lead to negative perception of justice and safety by the populace. According to Transparency
International (2018), corruption is perceived as omnipresent and the country ranks 105 of 180
countries on the Corruption Perceptions Index, losing two places. Considering the recent
terrorist attack on a military outpost on the northern border and the threat of violent extremism
to regional stability in the coastal areas of West Africa, the Government created a military
operational zone on 13 July 2020, reinforcing its security services and troops in the area ahead
of the presidential elections. The causality dilemma between governance and social cohesion
was also overlooked. However, Côte d'Ivoire has shown strong progress in overall governance
as shown by the improvement of 9 points in the Ibrahim Index of African Governance in the
period 2010-2019, which enabled the country to move from twenty-second to eighteenth place
between 2018 and 2019;
(b) Non-inclusive growth and persistent inequalities. Côte d’Ivoire has a low Human
Development Index of 0.516, although its ranking showed a slight gain from 172 to 165 of 189
countries in 2019. Income inequalities have reduced but remain high especially outside the

2
 DP/DCP/CIV/3

economic centre of Abidjan with a Gini coefficient which fell from 41per cent to 35 per cent
over the period 2015-2018, benefiting mainly the better educated people in urban areas. Some
8 per cent of the poor are in urban areas, representing about 1 million people left behind, mostly
women and youth;
(c) Persistent gender inequalities. Though declining, gender inequality remains significant,
with a national Gender Inequality Index of 0.657 in 2018, compared to 0.663 in 2015 and 0.667
in 2011. Côte d’Ivoire ranks 157 of 189 countries. Poverty affects more women (47.4 per cent)
than men (45.4 per cent). In 2019, women’s participation in government remained low at 11.37
per cent for the current parliament, 14.8 per cent in the Government and 7.96 per cent in
municipalities. The 2019 Government law promoting the representation of women in elected
bodies sets a minimum of 30 percent women candidates for single-member or list ballots.
Young people lack civic education and face limited access to frameworks for dialogue and
decision-making, which are often reflected in incidents of electoral violence;
(d) Limited sustainability in the management of natural resources and vulnerability to
climate change. Côte d'Ivoire has experienced a degradation of its natural capital and an
increasing vulnerability to climate change. The country has lost nearly one third of its stock of
natural resources. Ivorian forests are degrading at a rate of approximately 171,000 hectares per
year, including protected areas. The post-disaster needs assessment (2019) estimates the cost
of losses and damages at over $36 billion and the recovery needs at $400 billion. The country
repeatedly faces floods and landslides caused by heavy rains, primarily affecting urban coastal
areas such as Abidjan, where increasingly uncontrolled urbanization continues to increase
multidimensional vulnerability to climate change and disasters and increases poverty.
5. UNDP has comparative advantages to contribute to the efforts of the United Nations country
team (UNCT). The programmatic offer is anchored in its mandate as a lead development
agency in the United Nations system, carried out through an integrated development approach.
Following the socioeconomic impact assessment of the COVID-19 pandemic to support the
national response, UNDP developed a guidance note for effective implementation of recovery
policies in line with the NDP, UNSDCF and the corporate COVID-19 offer 2.0, “Beyond
Recovery: Towards 2030”. UNDP co-facilitates the inclusive governance, and
industrialization and sustainable development outcome groups under the UNSDCF, together
with the International Organization for Migration, United Nations Industrial Development
Organization and United Nations Environment Programme respectively. UNDP builds on its
experience and the development results obtained under the previous country programme (2016-
2020), in particular regarding the integration of the Sustainable Development Goals into
national policies and programmes, the institutionalization of the International Conference on
the Emergence of Africa, improvement of the legal framework for youth employment, support
for the national forest policy and the mobilization of resources from the Green Climate Fund.
UNDP demonstrated leadership in support to the NDC revision process, working with other
partners alongside the government and positioning the NDCs in the country's post-COVID-19
recovery process. UNDP will act as a Sustainable Development Goal integrator through the
establishment of a country platform to facilitate the implementation of integrated home-grown
solutions to complex development challenges, based on approaches that enshrine the principles
of human rights, gender sensitivity and environmental and social standards.
6. In response to recommendations of the independent country programme evaluation and the
Common Country Analysis, the programme will address the challenges of governance and the
quality of institutions, inclusive growth and reduction of inequalities and the sustainable
management of natural resources and climate change adaptation, including the circular
relationship among all three. This UNDP comparative advantage will involve capitalizing on
the achievements and activating development levers such as the high potential of natural
resources and the best development planning approaches to support accelerated efforts to
achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.

II. Programme priorities and partnerships

7. The country programme will contribute to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
and African Union Agenda 2063 and is fully aligned to the NDP (2021-2025). It will be
implemented in line with joint interventions planned in the new UNSDCF (2021-2025),
involving the following pillars: (a) inclusive governance, rule of law and institutional
modernization; (b) inclusive growth and reducing inequalities; and (c) sustainable management
of natural resources, climate change adaptation and resilience. The programme will align with
the knowledge areas identified under the UNDP Global Policy Network to develop local and
national programme management capacities.
8. UNDP will adopt a holistic, risk-informed, conflict-sensitive intervention strategy that
considers the country’s socioeconomic and politico-security contexts and the subregional
dimensions. A thematic and geographic focus will foster greater effectiveness for sustainable
outcomes. UNDP will consider both the already-critical Sustainable Development Goal
baselines and the socioeconomic consequences of COVID-19. The programme will thus
emphasize reducing vulnerability, particularly within households, small and medium-sized
businesses and the informal sector, to contribute to reducing inequality and capacity gaps. The
programme will seek to support youth employment, particularly young women, by promoting
innovation and green jobs, using its accelerator lab and experiences of the accelerator labs
network to identify solutions to endemic unemployment,. The new programme will address the
interdependence between inclusive governance and social cohesion.
9. UNDP will perform its integrator role within the United Nations development system by:
(a) establishing integrated platforms to support acceleration of the Sustainable Development
Goals; (b) supporting the development of an integrated data ecosystem with the UNCT; (c)
mobilizing innovative financing for the Goals, specifically through the integrated national
financing framework; (d) promoting new integrated development solutions; (e) transferring
knowledge and technologies via South-South and triangular cooperation; (f) combining an offer
of high-level policy advice and targeted downstream programmatic interventions during and
post-COVID-19; (g) co-creating innovative development approaches through the accelerator
lab to reach those furthest behind; (h) developing a fresh partnership with civil society and the
private sector; (i) strengthening partnerships with donors and international financial institutions
including the World Bank, Islamic Development Bank, European Investment Bank and African
Development Bank; (j) continuing to adopt a human rights-based approach; and (k) securing
government funds.
10. The new programme seeks to contribute to restoring trust in institutions, an Ivoirian
society living in a peaceful environment, resilient to crises and shocks and enjoying the benefits
of inclusive growth and shared prosperity. The theory of change underlying the programmatic
offer purports that:
(a) If essential governance functions are strengthened by building respect for human rights,
enhanced transparency, equitable access to justice and participation by young people and
women, with special emphasis on local government, and if conflict prevention and management
systems function based on mediation and reconciliation, then Ivoirian citizens will live, over
the long term, in an environment characterized by the rule of law and national cohesion;
(b) If the business environment is favourable to the emergence of a community-based local
economy and if private sector investments can be mobilized to bolster entrepreneurship among
young people and women, then economic growth will be inclusive, create jobs and reduce
poverty and inequalities;
(c) If production and consumption practices that preserve natural capital are used, and if the
adoption of environmental standards for natural resource management enables the development

4
 DP/DCP/CIV/3

of green value chains, and mechanisms to prevent and respond to shocks and disasters are
operational, then Ivoirians will build resilience to conflict and climate change.
Inclusive governance, rule of law and quality of institutions
11. Priority will be given to strengthening national governance systems including the national
response to COVID-19 so as to build confidence in institutions to bridge the gap between
people and the State. This will entail supporting state modernization through e-governance and
digitalization of public administration to ensure continuity and effectiveness in the delivery of
essential services.
12. Interventions will aim to: strengthen institutional capacities, using a human rights-based
and people-centred approach; strengthen the rule of law; and support reforms to improve
transparency and access to justice and security, with particular attention to the penal chain, anti-
corruption, gender-based violence and social cohesion. The programme will use a holistic
approach to support the judiciary to combat impunity and an integrated response to gender-
based violence. It will focus on integrating digital transformation and solutions in the justice
system to deliver high-quality judicial services. UNDP will forge partnerships with the
European Union, the Government of Germany, Japan International Cooperation Agency,
United States Agency for International Development and United Nations agencies.
13. UNDP will strengthen national mechanisms for the promotion and protection of human
rights through supporting the implementation of UPR recommendations accepted by the
country. UNDP will contribute to strengthening accountability and responsibility of public
institutions and the Ivory Coast Financial Intelligence Unit responsible for combating
corruption, money-laundering and financial crimes.
14. Efforts will build on the previous programme achievements to improve the quality of
democracy by supporting the electoral process to achieve transparent, inclusive and peaceful
elections and encourage electoral reforms in the post-electoral period. The new programme will
strengthen the functioning of the parliament and judiciary in terms of accountability and civic
engagement, with national dialogue processes to promote positive values, attitudinal change
and participation of young people and women.
15. UNDP will cooperate with United Nations agencies particularly the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, United Nations Population Fund and United
Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women to consolidate gains in
democracy, peace, justice, security, gender equality and women’s empowerment. Emphasis
will be placed on removing structural barriers and risks to women’s economic empowerment,
political and social participation and leadership.
16. The UNDP contribution to building social cohesion and preventing violent extremism
will prioritize capacity-building for national and community entities responsible for conflict
prevention, early warning systems and strengthening dialogue, mediation and reconciliation
with increased participation of women and young people.
17. To strengthen inclusive processes and local governance, particular emphasis will be given
to local planning and access to basic services, including financing and budgeting,
decentralization, support to the electoral process and the participation of and leadership by
young people and women.
18. By drawing lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic, UNDP will promote investment in a
resilient health system that addresses the social determinants of health, maintains core functions
and provides care to the most disadvantaged and marginalized communities, including persons
living with HIV/AIDS. Emphasis will be placed on institutional coherence and the promotion
of innovation through setting up e-governance systems in the public sector. UNDP will
strengthen institutional coordination to improve crisis management and promote resilient

5
DP/DCP/CIV/3

recovery and effective implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals through policies
and decision-making based on reliable data primarily from national sources.
Inclusive growth, resilience and reducing inequalities
19. Through this pillar, UNDP will support the Government in reducing income inequalities
and underemployment through innovative entrepreneurship and development of income and
employment opportunities for vulnerable populations living in extreme poverty, with a focus
on women and youth. Stimulating local economies through promotion of circular economy
approaches, including in the digital, green and blue economy sectors, will be prioritized to build
better, more resilient and sustainable communities.
20. UNDP will establish partnerships with dedicated institutes, the European Union and
United Nations agencies to support the development and implementation of policies that
promote structural transformation of the economy towards achievement of the Sustainable
Development Goals by 2030. The focus will be on eliminating structural constraints to develop
inclusive value chains in the agriculture, tourism and mining sectors. Emphasis will be placed
on the participation of local economic actors, the development of micro, small and medium-
sized enterprises in sectors involving young people, women, people with disabilities, displaced
people, migrants and other vulnerable groups. The aim is to strengthen multi-stakeholder
platforms to facilitate dialogue within the value chains integrating economic, social and
environmental aspects.
21. UNDP will support the strengthening of public-private dialogue to advance reforms for
social progress and strengthen the resilience of enterprises to shocks, drawing lessons from the
COVID-19 pandemic. These interventions will facilitate the transition to sustainable
employment and the creation of more productive and inclusive jobs for women and young
people, thereby reducing poverty.
22. UNDP will focus on improving access to renewable energy as a lever in promoting private
investment and accelerating progress towards the Goals, in partnership with Germany. This
intervention aims to develop and scale up capacities to create green jobs and facilitate the
creation of productive activities in rural areas, especially for women and young people.
23. UNDP will encourage innovation and partner with the private sector to help young
entrepreneurs to innovate, develop, scale up and diversify their businesses; promote the
adoption of innovative, inclusive business models that respect human rights; enable youth-
owned MSMEs to recover from the impact of COVID-19 and other shocks; promote green
jobs; and foster ecosystem platforms such as YouthConnekt.
24. UNDP will adopt an integrated local development approach to carry out interventions in
the target provinces, taking account of economic opportunities offered by each intervention
zone with the involvement and ownership of decentralized communities in charge of local
development. These interventions will be aligned to local development plans integrating the
Sustainable Development Goals.
Sustainable management of natural resources and adaptation to climate change
25. UNDP will work to build community resilience, giving particular attention to: (a) local
and national development planning, integrating constraints and opportunities related to climate
change; (b) investments in climate-resilient and environmentally sustainable livelihoods; and
(c) strengthening environmental and forest management, support for efficient mobilization of
climate finance, (d) leading the support to the process of NDC revision in the run-up of the next
COP. Jointly with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and UNEP,
UNDP will support dialogue on the sustainable management of forest resources, involving
ministries in charge of the environment, forests and agriculture, the parliament, the private
sector and CSOs.

6
 DP/DCP/CIV/3

26. The programme will promote development of low-carbon emissions, local strategies
emphasizing forest-related economic partnerships and pooling of innovative solutions in the
area of sustainable forest management. It will also support sustainable, modern and competitive
agriculture and use of international standards and smart production systems that protect natural
resources, and other green and blue economy sectors. To that end, UNDP will support South-
South cooperation initiatives to encourage the sharing of knowledge and best practices. The
partnerships built through international commitments to combat climate change will seek to
take continued advantage of climate finance, including the Global Environmental Facility, the
GCF and the Adaptation Fund. Specifically, UNDP will support national processes for
mobilizing climate funds. Strong partnerships will be forged with GEF, GCF and United
Nations agencies.
27. In a context marked by the country's vulnerability to climate change and strong pressures
on natural resources which threaten the ecosystem and the living conditions of the population,
the programme will contribute to developing the capacities of national stakeholders and
strengthen the management of natural resources through the adoption of best practices in: (a)
protection of biodiversity; (b) ecosystem restoration; (c) reduced pressure on natural resources;
and (d) crisis management. UNDP will stress the application of international standards and the
adoption of risk-informed and conflict-sensitive interventions.
28. The programme will focus on building capacities in disaster risk reduction and
management in the context of post-COVID-19 recovery. These include strengthening the
institutional framework for disaster risk reduction to support post-disaster recovery; improving
multi-hazard early warning systems at national and local levels; supporting the revision of land-
use and urban development plans; and promoting the mapping of risk areas and the assessment
of damages for prevention and improved risk governance for resilience and sustainable growth.
29. UNDP will help the Government bring together relevant ministries and development
partners, including the European Union, AfDB and World Bank, to coordinate development
financing and support the establishment of innovative financing mechanisms for the
achievement and monitoring of the Sustainable Development Goals within the integrated
national financing framework.

III. Programme and risk management

30. This country programme document outlines the UNDP contributions to national results
and serves as the primary unit of accountability to the Executive Board for results alignment
and resources assigned to the programme at country level. Accountabilities of managers at the
country, regional and headquarter levels with respect to country programmes are prescribed in
the organization’s programme and operations policies and procedures and internal control
framework.
31. The programme will be nationally executed. If necessary, national execution may be
replaced by direct execution for part or all of the programme to response to force majeure. The
harmonized approach to cash transfers will be used in collaboration with other United Nations
agencies to manage financial risks. Cost definitions and classifications for programme and
development effectiveness will be charged to relevant projects.
32. UNDP is committed to working with other United Nations agencies in response to the
2016 quadrennial comprehensive review of operational activities for development of the United
Nations system, specifically by implementing the common chapter of the strategic plans of
UNDP, UNFPA, the United Nations Children’s Fund and UN-Women. This will entail working
jointly on strengthening national data systems disaggregated by gender and age, gender-based
violence, promoting the rights of the disabled and climate and disaster resilience.

7
DP/DCP/CIV/3

33. Taking full advantage of reform of the United Nations development system, UNDP will
play an integrator role within the UNCT by establishing a multi-actor platform to provide
integrated solutions to the multifaceted challenges facing Côte d’Ivoire. To promoting
knowledge products, UNDP will operationalize the accelerator lab to explore, map and test
local initiatives and scale up innovative results.
34. Risks of further socioeconomic shocks linked to the COVID-19 pandemic and social and
environmental issues, including insecurity associated with the spread of violent extremism,
could jeopardize UNDP access to target populations. UNDP will strengthen collaboration with
development partners and other United Nations agencies to foster conflict analysis, community
security and human security approaches as well as more integrated planning/programming
across the peace-humanitarian-development nexus.
35. In view of the forthcoming presidential elections, the risk of potential post-electoral
unrest is high and a review of national priorities remains a possibility. To mitigate this risk
based on improved risk management, the crisis risk dashboard is activated. Given the severity
of the risks, a programme criticality exercise may be envisaged. UNDP will revise its
programme offer to maintain alignment with the set priorities.
36. There is a financial risk associated with the fact that the programme relies on government
co-financing. If the COVID-19 pandemic and its socioeconomic impacts persist and growth
stagnates, government contributions may be affected. To mitigate financial risks, UNDP will
diversify its resource base (AfDB, IDB, Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa) and
instruments (blending) and regularly update its partnership and communication strategy and
related action plan.

IV. Monitoring and evaluation

37. UNDP will prioritize use of national and global data sources and traditional monitoring
methods, specifically field visits to monitor its programmes and projects. The country office
will build the capacities of national partners and staff to implement social and environmental
standards and the UNDP accountability mechanism. UNDP will use its accelerator lab to
collect real-time data on innovative local solutions emerging from programme implementation.
38. Based on programme results and the political environment, the theory of change and
resources framework will be adjusted as needed. External assessments, independent
evaluations, GEF evaluations and audits conducted in accordance with the organization’s
directives will guide programme implementation.
39. UNDP will implement its gender equality strategy, advance the Gender Equality Seal
Initiative and invest at least 15 per cent of the budget in gender interventions. The gender
marker will be used to monitor spending and improve gender planning. Five per cent of the
budget will be allocated to monitoring, quality assurance and communication on results.
40. A knowledge management strategy will be adopted to make the results and lessons
learned available to diverse audiences. Collaboration with universities, institutes, national and
international partners will be strengthened. UNDP will invest in communicating its results
through real-life stories, using innovative tools including social media.
