Ivory Coast, officially the Republic of Ivory Coast, is a West African state, member of the African Union. It has an area of ​​124,503 square miles. The country's population was 23,202,000 in 2012. The political and administrative capital of Côte d'Ivoire is Yamoussoukro (Abidjan remains the commercial capital). The official language is French and the currency is the CFA franc. The country is part of ECOWAS. The economy, mainly focused on the production of coffee and cocoa, experienced exceptional growth during the first two decades, making Côte d'Ivoire a leading country in West Africa. In the 1990s, the country faced periods of social and political turbulence. These problems were exacerbated with the death of Félix Houphouët-Boigny (first president) in 1993. The adoption of a new Constitution and the organization of presidential elections in 2000 which brought Laurent Gbagbo to power did not calm social tensions and policies, which triggered a political and military crisis on 19 September 2002. After several peace agreements, the country engaged on 4 March 2007 in a new crisis process based on a political agreement in OuagadougouThe 2011 report of the United Nations Program for Development (UNDP) stated that in Côte d'Ivoire the multidimensional poverty index is 61.5%. In the Human Development Index (HDI), the country ranks 170th out of 183. Out of an estimated population of 20 million in 2008, nearly 13 million people are poor! Their daily consumption expenditure is less than 661 CFA ($1.36)! Over the course of the year, these expenses do not exceed 241 145 F CFA (about 497 dollars)! Information contained in the 2009 Document Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) indicated that one in two Ivorians lives below the poverty line. These figures… half of the paper… the displacement of populations, the flight of foreign investors, the worsening of the unemployment rate combined with the deterioration of the living conditions of families”. Indeed, now that the war is over, we should focus on development issues because daily life is hard for Ivorians. Today thousands of workers are out of work. This situation contributes to the decrease in purchasing power. Meanwhile, the price of food products on the market is growing. For many families, it is a luxury to afford three meals a day. They opted for sudden death (one meal a day). Faced with difficulties in accessing healthcare, people turn to traditional medicine or street drugs. Free care established by the government is far from a reality, especially in rural areas. Informal settlements appear as the solution to housing problems. Sometimes without drinking water and electricity.
