Côte d’Ivoire Launches GUDIP to Strengthen Private Investment Governance

Centralized Platform for Better Investment Tracking

The Centre de Promotion des Investissements en Côte d’Ivoire (CEPICI) has launched the Guichet Unique de Déclaration de l’Investissement Privé (GUDIP), a new tool aimed at improving governance of private investments in Côte d’Ivoire.

Collaborative Development

The GUDIP was developed in collaboration with the Direction Générale de l’Économie, with technical and financial support from the Programme d’Appui à l’Amélioration du Climat des Affaires (PACA-CI) funded by the African Development Bank.

The platform will centralize, track, and analyze data related to private investments in Côte d’Ivoire, enabling better governance of investment projects.

Objectives

The objective is to address information dispersion, ensure better project tracking, measure the conversion rate of investment intentions into actual outcomes, and improve policy decision-making.

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