Ivory Coast has officially launched its Public Administration Interoperability Platform, a landmark step in advancing the country’s digital transformation efforts.
The platform was unveiled at a ceremony held at the Postel Building 2001 Auditorium, led by Minister of Digital Transition and Digitalisation Kalil Konaté. The event gathered government officials, technical partners, and media representatives to mark this significant milestone.
The new platform is a core component of the National Digital Development Strategy and supports the government’s vision of achieving a “Zero Paper” administration by 2030. By enabling seamless interoperability between various government information systems, the platform aims to streamline administrative processes, reduce bureaucratic silos, and accelerate the digitisation of public services across the nation.
Built on the UXP solution developed by Cybernetica — modelled after Estonia’s renowned X-Road platform — the system embodies a proven, open-source framework designed to be adaptable to Ivory Coast’s specific needs. This approach not only enhances flexibility but also reduces long-term costs associated with proprietary licensing.
In its initial phase, twelve pilot institutions will integrate the platform, including key agencies such as the General Directorate of Taxes, the National Office of Civil Status, the National Social Security Fund, and the Abidjan Trade Court. Successful adoption by Directors of Information Systems across ministries and public institutions is deemed critical for the platform’s overall success.
The project is overseen by the National Agency for Digital Development (SNDI), with technical support from Cybernetica. Authorities emphasised that this initiative reflects the government’s commitment to modernising governance systems, boosting efficiency, promoting inclusion, and fostering economic development as part of the Côte d’Ivoire 2030 Strategic Plan.
This deployment underscores Ivory Coast’s ambition to position itself as a digitally empowered nation, leveraging innovative technology to enhance public sector effectiveness and citizen services.
