HUMANITARIAN CONTEXT IN IVORY COAST
- A large part of the population has fled the fighters
and is displaced in the interior of the country
and neighbouring countries
- In February 2003, the civil war led to the
displacement of almost 600,000 people (UNI-Africa
report)
- Half of the country was under the control of different
rebel groups
- Ivory Coast is one of the 23 countries undergoing
a food emergency, in particular the rebel-controlled
western and northern zones (UN, December 2003)
- The consequences of the political crisis
which the country is undergoing include difficulties
with payment systems, a massive reduction in income,
as well as a decrease in commercial transactions.
- In recent years the country has suffered from the
fall in the price of cocoa, its main export
commodity along with coffee and petrol.
