Overview

Côte d’Ivoire has maintained political and social stability in a region increasingly marked by fragility and insecurity, especially in neighboring countries. On the security front, Côte d’Ivoire has effectively contained Jihadist incursions from armed groups conducting recurrent attacks on its Northern neighbors of Mali and Burkina Faso.

However, the country is facing a humanitarian challenge in its northern part, bordering Burkina Faso, due to the influx of refugees mainly fleeing jihadist violence in the neighboring country.
