Following the turbulent electoral year of 2020, which had also posed the challenges of mitigating the effects of the global Covid-19 pandemic, 2021 was in many respects a year marked by political appeasement and socioeconomic recovery in Côte d’Ivoire. Although the effects of the pandemic continued to be felt, particularly by ordinary Ivorians, the country showed remarkable resilience in its macroeconomic performance, spurring hopes that the momentum of the past decade might be regained. Politically, the most significant event of the year was the legislative and parliamentary elections, which turned out to be much less fraught and more inclusive than the 2020 presidential vote. Nevertheless, through a combination of an unforeseen government reshuffle and the emergence of a new alliance within the opposition, the political year was filled with activity, including the long-awaited return to the country of former president Laurent Gbagbo, following his 2019 acquittal at the icc in The Hague.
