Pillar 1

The first pillar of Côte d’Ivoire Solidaire is the trio: Peace – Security – Cohesion.

We are going to consolidate the gains we have made in terms of security, and strengthen social cohesion so that every Ivorian feels free and at peace wherever he or she may be throughout the national territory, so that he or she can plan for the future, look ahead and invest in peace, because without peace, nothing is possible.
