Ivory
Coast’s Ministry of Digital Transition and Technological Innovation has
organised a capacity-building workshop on public procurement procedures aimed
at improving transparency and efficiency in the management of public resources.
The
workshop was initiated following an audit covering the 2023 and 2024 financial
years, which identified the need to enhance the technical capabilities of
credit managers involved in procurement processes.

The
training focused on strengthening compliance with procurement regulations,
improving financial oversight and promoting best practices in public sector
resource management. Officials indicated that the initiative is part of broader
efforts to reinforce accountability and ensure more effective utilisation of
public funds.
Speaking
at the event, the minister of Digital Transition and Technological Innovation Djibril
Ouattara welcomed the initiative, noting that it contributes to advancing
transparency, efficiency and good governance within public administration.

The
ministry said the workshop forms part of ongoing reforms aimed at strengthening
institutional capacity and aligning procurement practices with established
regulatory standards.
