Mamadou Sangafowa-Coulibaly

Minister of Mines, Petroleum and Energy of Côte d'Ivoire

It is a real pleasure for me to welcome you to this digital platform dedicated to Local Content in oil and gas activities in Côte d'Ivoire.

Dear users,

The promotion of Local Content is a major strategic axis in the realisation of the Government's vision, which is to make mineral and energy resources the keystone of a new phase of sustained and sustainable growth for Côte d'Ivoire.

Local Content is of vital importance to the economic development of our country, as it will ultimately have a real and increased impact on the turnover of local businesses and, ultimately, on their tax contributions.

Furthermore, by encouraging the participation of Ivorian skills and talents in oil and gas activities, we are strengthening our ability to meet technical and operational challenges at national and international level, while creating employment and professional development opportunities for our fellow citizens.

This digital platform will make it easier for local players to connect with foreign companies to carry out projects in the oil and gas sector. It offers an opportunity for players to participate in the development of the hydrocarbons sector and make it a powerful vector for economic growth in our country.

I remain convinced that this platform will become an essential lever for the growth of our sector and the development of our nation.

I invite you to become actively involved on this platform, to share your ideas and to forge fruitful partnerships with a view to boosting the emergence of national champions.

I wish you a pleasant browsing.
