General objective
The general objective is to have an economic governance tool allowing domestic and foreign economic actors to easily access the economic and financial information of Côte d'Ivoire in the optimal conditions of security and without delay.
Target audiences
The Côte d'Ivoire Economic Information and Promotion Web Portal is designed for the following economic stakeholders:
- development partners: donors, international organizations
- the private sector: Ivorian employers, managers of large companies, SMEs and VSEs, foreign businessmen
- diplomatic representations: Ivorian Embassies and Consulates, External Economic Promotion Services, foreign embassies and consulates in Côte d'Ivoire, consular chambers, international institutions
- public administrations: heads of administrations and managers of public and para public enterprises
- the national and international press
- the general public: Academics and Research Centres, non-governmental organizations, students, etc.
Ergonomics
Access to the Portal does not require any additional plugins other than standard multimedia players and the free Acrobat Reader software. The portal is accessible 24/7 except for planned maintenance reasons not to exceed 24 hours.
Graphic charter
The graphic charter gives a visual identity to the Portal in accordance with its objectives. It is adapted to the requirements of the core target made up of all economic actors, development partners and the business community.
The graphic charter observes an overall coherence in the use of images, iconography, frames and color play.
The play on colors combines ORANGE, WHITE and GREEN in accordance with the emblem of Côte d'Ivoire but with a strong dominance of GREEN that evokes:
- the hope of a rising and prosperous economy;
- a diversified economy dominated by agriculture and agribusiness;
- “Eco development” in a global context of environmental conservation.
ORANGE is used to highlight specific elements and for frames. The background is WHITE, which gives a very good ventilation to the graphic charter. It provides a good contrast with the color of the text which is essentially in BLACK.
