Presentation of the Compendium

The Ivory Coast has ratified most international texts relating to equal opportunities including CEDAW, the Beijing Platform for Action, Solemn Declaration of the Heads of States of the African Union on gender.
At the national level, are: the Solemn Declaration on Gender, Equity and Gender, The National Policy Paper on Gender and several measures to reduce social disparities.
Nevertheless, analysis of the current situation reveals the existence of gender inequalities between women and men.

To address this issue, the President of the Republic has implemented the Compendium of Women Skills Ivory Coast (COCOFCI), a program overseen by the Special Adviser in charge of Gender and Social Affairs, and coordinated by the Holder the UNESCO Chair "Water, Women and Decision Power" in order to map the competent Ivorian women.

    • Identifier les secteurs où les femmes sont sous représentées afin d’inciter à la prise de mesures correctives dans le sens de l’équité et de la justice sociale;
    • Favoriser le réseautage entre les femmes.
