Know Côte d'Ivoire

Côte d'Ivoire (also known as Ivory Coast) is a West African country located along the Gulf of Guinea. Its political capital is Yamoussoukro, while Abidjan is the largest city and economic hub. The country has one of the strongest economies in the region, driven largely by agriculture—especially cocoa production, for which it is the world’s leading producer. Côte d'Ivoire is culturally diverse, with many ethnic groups and traditions, and French is the official language. Despite past political instability, it has made significant progress in economic growth and development in recent years.

Reaching Côte d'Ivoire's Vulnerable and Digitally Connected

Côte d’Ivoire is a nation of remarkable connectivity — 92% mobile penetration and 17 million internet users in a country of 29 million — yet it is also one where Muslim-majority communities in the north and immigrant corridors remain largely unreached, and where urban youth are spiritually adrift. Traditional missions struggle to enter conservative villages and engage a generation raised on social media.

The ADD strategy deploys local influencers and storytellers to build bridges, launching 25 contextualized video campaigns and equipping 300 youth in mobile discipleship. A Digital Innovation Hub in Abidjan anchors content creation and training, positioning Côte d’Ivoire as a gateway for Francophone West Africa.

Priority target groups:

  • Muslim-majority communities in the northern regions
  • Unreached immigrant corridors
  • Urban youth and spiritually adrift digital natives
  • Conservative villages difficult to reach via traditional missions

"The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." — Matthew 9:37-38

MONTORING & EVALUATION
Data-Driven Accountability

A digital dashboard tracks gospel exposures, decisions for Christ, and follow-up engagement across all 15 channels. The Abidjan Digital Innovation Hub serves as the M&E nerve centre for both Côte d'Ivoire and wider Francophone West Africa. Quarterly reviews drive continuous improvement, and ten short plus two documentary-style testimony videos are produced annually. All activities are assessed by the national CCC office.

Aminata Koné
22 · Muslim Student, Bouaké · Digital Healing Circle Member
Aminata grew up in a conservative Muslim household in the north and moved to Bouaké for university. Isolated in a new city, she stumbled across a short Dioula-language video on Facebook about forgiveness — produced by a local youth storyteller she recognised from her neighbourhood. She watched it out of curiosity. The follow-up WhatsApp message that appeared the next morning was gentle and in her language. Over three months, Aminata joined a Women's Digital Healing Circle, working through audio Bible stories in Dioula. "I wasn't being asked to abandon my family or my culture," she says. "I was being invited into something real." She gave her life to Christ quietly, in her student room, after the sixth session.
"The videos spoke Dioula. The woman on the phone knew my name. That was when I knew this was for me." Aminata now volunteers as a facilitator for a new healing circle on her campus.
