As part of the Côte d'Ivoire Digital Acceleration Project (PADCI), the government of Côte d'Ivoire, through the Ministry of Digital Transition and Digitalisation, has worked with Digital Transformation Platform Sarl to develop its first national strategy for the governance of government data.

This national strategy covers a range of fundamental elements, including an inventory of the current broadband access and data management infrastructures, an in-depth analysis of the legal and regulatory framework for data governance and open data, and the submission of strategic and legal recommendations aimed at improving the governance of public data, strengthening digital trust and data sharing between state structures, public structures and users, and communities of researchers, entrepreneurs and startups on the other.

To achieve this mission, Digital Transformation Platform, headed by Mr Lassina Konaté, Managing Director, was supported by a team comprising Mr Jean-Chrysostome Okou, Project Management Assistant, Dr Claude Etty, Managing Director of Data Consulting, Mr Houssène Ben Souda and Mr Thomas Dabadie of Marabu Consulting, and Ms Aissatou Sylla of the law firm Dentons. The final version of the strategy was handed over to the government, marking a key stage in the digital modernisation and consolidation of data governance, with a view to accelerating innovation and the use and development of artificial intelligence in Côte d'Ivoire.
