The Centre of Promotion of Investments in Côte d’Ivoire (CEPICI) launched on July 10 at Abidjan the Unique Investment Declaration Portal (GUDIP), a new tool aimed at improving governance of private investments.

The GUDIP, developed in collaboration with the General Directorate of Economy and with technical and financial support from the Programme for Improvement of Business Climate (PACA-CI) funded by the African Development Bank (BAD), will enable centralization, tracking, and analysis of data related to private investments in Côte d’Ivoire.

The objective is to address information dispersion, ensure better project tracing, measure conversion rates from investment intentions to actual outcomes, and improve policy management.

According to Madame Solange AMICHIA, Director General of CEPICI, the GUDIP is a ‘true tool of public governance’, based on reliable and up-to-date data, which will inform decision-making and evaluate private sector contributions to growth, employment, and economic transformation more accurately.

The launch atelier brought together public administrations, technical partners, and private sector actors, calling upon institutions to actively participate in the GUDIP’s deployment, particularly through data sharing and point focal designation.

Expected between the third quarter of 2026 and the first quarter of 2027, the GUDIP’s deployment marks a new step in modernizing Côte d’Ivoire’s investment ecosystem.

By strengthening data quality and project follow-up, CEPICI aims to consolidate its role as a strategic partner of the State in mobilizing necessary investments for the success of the 2026-2030 Public Development Plan (PND).
