Corruption risks are high in Cote d’Ivoire’s defence institutions. Oversight and transparency in Côte d’Ivoire’s defence sector remain limited. Parliamentary and audit scrutiny is weak, financial information is opaque, and access to information extremely limited. Defence procurement is exempt from standard rules and lacks external control. Personnel systems show some strengths such as comprehensive payment system, but whistleblowing, ethics enforcement, and operational anti-corruption measures are underdeveloped.
