In fact, in 2012, the government established a legal and institutional framework for the
promotion and implementation of PPP initiatives complementing the rules for the public
procurement of works and services provided for in the Public Service Code dated 2009. Also,
following a first review of PPP-driven projects completed in 2015, the government of Côte
d'Ivoire has adopted a new National Development Plan (NDP) for the period 2016-2020 with
the aim of making Côte d'Ivoire an emerging country with a more developed industrial sector
by 2020. The following Table shows the active project portfolio of the two Ministries dealing
with transport: the Ministry of Economic Infrastructure (which has competencies on road
infrastructure) and the Ministry of Transport (for all other sectors). Since 2012, seven new PPP
agreements have been signed, out of which three in the Port sector, three in the Public Transport
sector and one in the Rail sector (the latter being a renewal of the pre-existing concession).
