Hi,

Environmental protection is a challenging issue for all the countries around the world. Would you say this issue is deemed of significance in Ivory Coast?

Is the country going green through initiatives like waste management and selective sorting programs, renewable energies, public transport, green awareness campaigns and so forth?

How do you personally commit to improve the environment in your daily life?

We would greatly appreciate if you could tell us more about the various local initiatives for sustainable development in Ivory Coast.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi,

Thank you for your interest in the environment protection. I must say that I'm very sad regarding this topic. All around Africa, the experience of recycling plastic bags in cobbles is a huge success. In Ivory Coast I've been trying to start this process since three years and so did the Prime Minister................unfortunately we didn't succeed yet. But as we said "Discouragement is not Ivorian".
