Social Assistance Overview
Côte d’Ivoire introduced laws such as sickness and maternity, family allowances and work injury as part of social insurance system before 1961. Côte d’Ivoire then introduced its first social assistance programme, named the Temporary Employment Opportunities for Youth in 2011. This public works programme targets youth in order to provide them with work opportunities and training. The participants receive a temporary three-month contract, renewable for an additional three months. As of 2015, the programme had 12,693 participants.
