Côte d’Ivoire went through another turbulent election year in 2020, cementing an unfortunate trend, which began with the presidential elections in 2000 and continued in 2010, of controversy, political polarisation, and widespread election-related violence recurring at a ten-year interval. The global Covid-19 pandemic placed additional burdens on the Ivorian population, as national lockdowns and global recession affected local livelihoods and overall economic growth significantly. Despite a turbulent political year, however, the government responded with a series of measures to alleviate the effects of the pandemic, and most macroeconomic indicators were already showing signs of some recovery by year’s end.
