II – THE SERIOUS HOUSING SHORTAGE IN
COTE D’IVOIRE
With a population which currently borders the
20 million inhabitants, including approximately 5
million inhabitants for the only District of Abidjan, the
Côte d'Ivoire following the example of other countries of
the whole world, undergoes his housing shortage since the
years Eighties. That because of the disengagement of the
State on the sector of housing on the one hand; and because
of his demographic growth of an average annual rate of 3.5%
on the other.
The housing shortage, in general, is fed, all
over the world, mainly, by the rush of the rural population,
in search of social wellbeing, towards the urban and
peri-urban centers. In Côte d'Ivoire, this principal
universal situation was accentuated by the perverse effects
of the recent sociopolitical crisis which the country is
leaving gradually.
The inadequacy between the system of
promotion and the financing of housing option in Côte
d’Ivoire generated, an evaluated real deficit at at least
500 000 houses.
The prevarication of housing in Côte d’Ivoire
brought the State, on the most level point, in its search
for a durable solution to this thorn-bush problem. The State
encourages and works with some private economic operators
such as SOPHIA IMMOBILIER in order to find a quick solutions
to the lack of housing, especially in urban and peri-urban
