Leaving Cote d´Ivoire
Ane Høyem (01.04.2016)
After nine years of assisting refugees and internally displaced people in Cote d´Ivoire, the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has closed down its operations in the country.

“Our programme has had a positive impact on the population of Côte d’Ivoire and our achievements make me proud,” says Cheick Ba, NRC´s Country Director in Cote d´Ivoire.

NRC has been present in Cote d´Ivoire since 2006, after various crises resulted in massive displacements in the country. At the height of the crisis, about 250,000 people were refugees in neighbouring countries.

Today, Cote d´Ivoire is once again stable and security is ensured in almost the entire country. As a result, most of the refugees have returned home. The economy is also blooming.
