The application of this law on the quota allowed Côte d'Ivoire to record for the first time in its history an average rate of more than 30% of representation of women in local elected assemblies: 32.71% in municipal councils (compared to 15.43% in 2018) and 32.40% in regional councils (compared to 12.63% in 2018). Efforts also continued to enable Côte d'Ivoire to continue to maintain its rank as the leading African country in the operationalization of Resolution 1325. The 2nd generation of National Action Plan finalized in 2022 during a inclusive process was introduced for adoption by the Council of Ministers in 2023. The signatures necessary for scheduling this adoption at the table of the Council of Ministers were obtained in 2023 for adoption planned for the 1st quarter of 2024. It should also be noted that the level of influence of civil society organizations supported by UN Women continues to expand. Indeed, the number of processes influenced increased from 1 in 2022 to 2 in 2023. At the request of the Ministry in charge of National Cohesion, the Network of Women Peace Mediators of Côte d'Ivoire (REFEM-CI ) managed, through its local awareness raising and various informal meetings, to alleviate the tensions that existed between the populations so that the resumption of local elections took place peacefully in 9 of the 10 localities affected by the protests and the cancellation of the vote, and the results accepted by the stakeholders. In terms of establishing gender-sensitive strategic documents, support was provided for the development of the National Strategy for the Development of Statistics 2023-2027. In addition, the Ministry of Women, Families and Children has accumulated its capacity to coordinate gender issues, with support from UN Women, with the production of a statistical directory in order to guide the dynamic of strengthening the gender sensitivity of public and private interventions.
