Humanitarian context
Ivory Coast continues to recover from an armed conflict that ended in 2011. Several root causes of that conflict persisted, including ethnic and regional tensions, land disputes, corruption and impunity. Although an outbreak of violence during the 2020 election period was a major setback, civil liberties have been better protected in recent years, and civil society and the political opposition have acted more freely since that year’s elections.

Our activity
Action Against Hunger carries out several projects to empower women and adolescents in key areas such as health, rights and safe drinking water. One of the programmes, ACT Femmes, focuses on empowerment in the north of the country. In addition, our teams supported the Prossan programme to strengthen health services in slums in Abidjan.
In 2022, the M3EAU project focused on the transparent management of drinking water, while Young Entrepreneurs in Urban Agriculture (JEAUB) taught soil-free farming techniques. An emergency project was also implemented to improve nutritional security in the Tchologo region and prepared for the challenging context in the north of the country through the cross-border project Yeretali in Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast.
