Diversification, Industrial Acceleration, Competitiveness and Employment (DAICE)

The DAICE is a results-oriented program designed to support the structural transformation of the Ivorian economy by promoting economic diversification and industrial acceleration. The program combines public investment and private sector support mechanisms to: (i) develop modern industrial zones or platforms; (ii) strengthen the competitiveness of priority value chains and clusters; (iii) improve access to financing and technical support for industrial enterprises; and (iv) promote industrialization compatible with the green transition. The approach integrates reforms, industrial infrastructure investments, and targeted financial instruments to stimulate private investment and job creation.
