Makhtar Diop discussed the strategy of IFC in Côte d’Ivoire with Evelyne Deba of NCI Television, focusing on employment as a key priority.

He highlighted several important levers for accelerating economic transformation in Côte d’Ivoire, including funding for small and medium-sized enterprises, support for agriculture, and the promotion of local champions. Diop referenced the country’s PND2026-2030 plan as central to these initiatives.

Diop previously announced IFC's support for Côte d’Ivoire’s national development plan, aiming to boost private investment and job creation through the PND 2026-2030. He has also confirmed IFC’s commitment of $400 million to Argentina’s Rincón Lithium Project to support employment and mineral supply chains in the region, according to recent statements. Both initiatives reflect IFC’s focus on advancing economic growth in key emerging markets.
