| SE strategy / action plan 1.2.1 S133S233S30S40S50 Criteria and evidence- S1 · Status: 33 (in preparation (drafting announced officially, or a draft published and pending))
On 3 May 2024 the Minister of Solidarity and the Fight against Poverty said (reported speech) that the ministry 'a ouvert d'importants chantiers notamment l'institution d'un cadre juridique solide pour l'ESS et l'élaboration d'une stratégie nationale'; no SSE strategy was adopted by 31 Dec 2025 and none is named in the Prime Minister's speech of 4 Nov 2024 or the government's 2024 roadmap: 'in preparation (drafting announced officially)'. · source 1 - S2 · Dedication: 33 (SE mentioned in an adopted broader strategy, without measures)
The government's 'Feuille de Route des Ministères 2024' (adopted 14 Feb 2024, under the PND 2021-2025) names among the major 2024 reforms that 'l'accent sera mis sur l'Institutionnalisation de l'Économie Sociale et Solidaire (ESS)', with no activities, responsible ministry or budget in the text read; the PM (4 Nov 2024) refers to 'une série d'initiatives' in that roadmap without listing them. A single reform line is a mention: 'SE mentioned in an adopted broader strategy, without measures'. The text read stops in the Economy ministry section. · source 1 - S3 · Operational content: 0 (no adopted instrument)
The strategy in preparation has no published text, and no adopted SE instrument exists: 'no adopted instrument'. · source 1 - S4 · Monitoring: 0 (none)
No strategy text, so no monitoring provision: 'none'. · source 1 - S5 · Participation of SE organisations: 0 (no evidence)
No adopted SE strategy, chapter or pillar (S2 = 33), so there is no instrument whose drafting or monitoring could involve SSE organisations; the 2022 sector workshops and the RIESS's role concern the SSE bill: 'no evidence'. · source 1

| Institutional structure & dialogue 1.2.2 I133I267I30I40 Criteria and evidence- I1 · Lead responsibility: 33 (SE handled informally or split, no lead named in any official text)
The PM's speech (4 Nov 2024) calls the Ministry of Solidarity the 'cheville ouvrière de la politique de l'économie sociale du Gouvernement', and it drafted the SSE bill, but the attributions decree read (Decree 2022-301) has no SSE item ('économie sociale' does not occur in Arts 1-25), no SSE directorate was found, and the 2024 roadmap names no responsible ministry for the SSE reform: 'SE handled informally or split, no lead named in any official text'. Judgement: 67 if the PM's speech is taken as naming the lead. · source 1 - I2 · Breadth of mandate: 67 (several types (e.g. cooperatives and mutuals))
Decree 2022-301 Art. 4 gives the Minister of Agriculture the 'promotion et développement des mouvements coopératifs et mutualistes'; no official text gives any ministry the SSE broadly: 'several types (e.g. cooperatives and mutuals)'. A later attributions decree (after the October 2023 government) was not found. · source 1 - I3 · Consultative body with SE organisations: 0 (none, or only in a draft)
No consultative body: the RIESS is a network of actors, and representation of SSE actors appears only in the bill, which was pending at end-2025: 'none, or only in a draft'. · source 1 - I4 · Inter-ministerial coordination: 0 (none)
No inter-ministerial SSE coordination mechanism was found: 'none'. · source 1

| Social clauses in public procurement 2.3.2 P133P20P30P40 Criteria and evidence- P1 · Legal basis: 33 (social considerations allowed in general (criteria, conditions))
The Public Procurement Code (Ord. 2019-679, consolidated 2023) reserves at least 30% of forecast procurement for SMEs (Art. 19.4) and provides artisan lots (Art. 21.1), without naming cooperatives or SSE entities, and allows disability employment as a selection criterion and social execution conditions (Art. 22.1); no Article 77-type reservation was found: 'social considerations allowed in general (criteria, conditions)'. Code read at the first coding; the CIVLII copy could not be reopened. · source 1 - P2 · National policy push: 0 (none)
No national socially responsible procurement guidance, plan or quota was found; the 30% SME share is an SME preference, not a social-clause or SE quota, and better SSE access to procurement is only promised by the pending bill: 'none'. · source 1 - P3 · Evidence of use: 0 (none)
No data or reported cases of social clauses or reserved contracts used for SSE entities were found (procurement searches return SME-access reporting only): 'none'. · source 1 · low confidence - P4 · Capacity support: 0 (none)
Government procurement training found concerns SMEs' bid preparation and new procedures, not social clauses or reserved contracts for SSE entities or contracting authorities: 'none'. · source 1 · low confidence

| SE support ecosystem 4.3.6 E133E233E333E433E533 Criteria and evidence- E1 · National programme: 33 (project-based only (donor, EU or NGO projects without government lead))
The documented SSE capacity support is NGO-led: the May 2024 two-month training of 180 women was organised by Fondation Glory Impact with the RIESS network, the minister acting as sponsor ('marraine'), and the April 2025 actors' workshop was a RIESS-Glory Impact event; no government SE support programme was found: 'project-based only (donor, EU or NGO projects without government lead)'. Judgement: the ministry's national AVEC scale-up (savings and mutual-aid groups, 31 regions, target 25,965 AVEC by 2025) is not counted as SE business-development support. · source 1 - E2 · Territorial coverage: 33 (capital or one region)
The documented activities took place in Abidjan (Plateau): 'capital or one region'. · source 1 - E3 · Public funding of support: 33 (mainly donor or EU funded)
The 7 April 2025 SSE workshop (about thirty actors, Cocody) was organised by the RIESS with Fondation Glory Impact with 'soutien' from the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, and the May 2024 training by the same NGOs names no public funder; the Solidarity ministry's director-general spoke only of the bill and legal framework: 'mainly donor or EU funded'. · source 1 - E4 · Continuity: 33 (under two years)
First documented in May 2024 (Glory Impact/RIESS training) and active on 7 April 2025 (RIESS workshop); no later record: 'under two years'. · source 1 · low confidence - E5 · Range of services: 33 (one)

| EU funds mobilised for SE 5.1.1 F10F20F30F40 Criteria and evidence- F1 · Programming: 0 (SE not mentioned)
The EU's MIP 2021-2027 for Côte d'Ivoire (EUR 381 m) has three priorities, human capital (TVET), sustainable and inclusive growth (business environment, agriculture, low-carbon) and governance, and the EC country page has no mention of the social economy, social enterprise or cooperatives; the EU-Belgian cocoa-cooperative project is sectoral value-chain support: 'SE not mentioned'. MIP text not opened. · source 1 - F2 · Calls and instruments: 0 (none)
No EU call naming the SSE or social entrepreneurship: the 2023 AMA-CI civil-society call concerns democracy and governance, and the EU civil-society roadmap 2021-2025 has no SSE, cooperative or social-enterprise terms: 'none'. · source 1 - F3 · Channel: 0 (none)
No EU channel for SE funding found: 'none'. · source 1 - F4 · Evidence of take-up: 0 (none)
No SE take-up of EU funds found: 'none'. · source 1

| Dedicated national funding 5.2.2 N133N20N30N40 Criteria and evidence- N1 · Dedicated line: 33 (only general SME/employment programmes open to SE)
No budget line, programme or call titled or aimed at the SSE was found (the bill's financing mechanisms were pending; the PM's 2024 speech and the 2024 roadmap name none); state employment financing such as PJ-Gouv 2023-2025 (FCFA 7.3 bn, 16,275 young people) is general: 'only general SME/employment programmes open to SE'. Judgement: the AVEC scale-up kits are not counted as an SE line. · source 1 - N2 · Instrument types: 0 (none)
N1 is 33 or lower: 'none, or N1 ≤ 33'. · source 1 - N3 · Continuity: 0 (none)
