Côte d'Ivoire has a diversified economy driven by agriculture (especially cocoa and coffee), mining, and services. The country has been a regional economic leader in West Africa, but political instability occasionally disrupts progress. Government policies emphasize infrastructure development and foreign investment, particularly in energy and transportation. Regulatory frameworks are improving but face enforcement challenges. Society is youthful, with growing access to education and job opportunities. Climate change, including unpredictable rainfall and deforestation, impacts agricultural productivity. Healthcare services are expanding but remain underfunded in rural areas.
