Côte d'Ivoire has ratified the Nagoya Protocol since September 24, 2013. Since then, a draft decree regulating access to genetic resources has been finalized in October 2020.

The implementation of the protocol and the draft decree requires the involvement of all stakeholders. To this end, MINEDD and the Capacity Building Initiative organized an information and awareness-raising workshop for national researchers from 22 to 23 August 2022 at the Palace Hotel in Yamoussoukro.
