Côte d’Ivoire Unveils Unique Investment Declaration System to Strengthen Private Sector Governance

The Côte d’Ivoire’s Centre for Promoting Investments (CEPICI) has launched the Guichet Unique de Déclaration de l’Investissement Privé (GUDIP), a new tool designed to improve governance of private investments.

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

The aim is to address information dispersion, ensure better project follow-up, measure the conversion rate of investment intentions into actual achievements, and improve policy management.

CEPICI’s Director-General Solange Amichia describes GUDIP as a ‘true public governance tool’, based on reliable and up-to-date data, enabling informed decision-making and more accurate evaluation of private sector contributions to growth, employment, and economic transformation.

The launch of GUDIP marked a new step in modernizing Côte d’Ivoire’s investment ecosystem.
