On Wednesday, April 22, 2026, the Adjamé town hall took a decisive step for its future. The wedding hall hosted the workshop to launch the Strategic Development Plan (SDP) project , an ambitious roadmap intended to transform the face of this crossroads municipality.

An ambitious vision for the "beating heart" of Abidjan

The Member of Parliament and Mayor, Soumahoro Farikou , emphasized the urgent need to anticipate the challenges linked to rapid urbanization and population growth. Far from being a mere administrative exercise, this plan is intended as a tool for sustainable transformation, structured around five major pillars :

1. Living environment: Improvement of the urban environment.
2. Infrastructure: Strengthening of socio-collective facilities.
3. Economy: Modernization of the local commercial fabric.
4. Social: Youth employment and women's empowerment.
5. Governance: Citizen participation and transparency.

“Adjamé is a land of opportunity. We are ready to build strong partnerships to fulfill the dreams of our people.” — Soumahoro Farikou , Mayor of Adjamé.

A participatory approach with the expertise of BNETD

The success of this project depends on inclusion. BNETD , represented by Mr. Kouadio Jean, reaffirmed its commitment to providing a dynamic document, taking into account the growing desire of citizens to be involved in local decisions.

The technical schedule:

1. Expertise: Technical support provided by BNETD.
2. Data collection: A field survey phase will take place from May 11 to 22, 2026 .
3. Methodology: Direct meetings with local stakeholders for a diagnosis that accurately reflects the realities on the ground.

A strong institutional commitment

The Secretary General of the Abidjan Prefecture, Dosso Sindou , welcomed the initiative, noting that the launch of this workshop marks the beginning of a "real challenge." This project also benefits from the support of the Directorate General for Decentralization and Sustainable Development (DGDDD), which sees this plan as a key lever for improving the living conditions of the citizens.

The mayor concluded by launching an appeal for solidarity: the success of Adjamé can only be achieved with the joint involvement of the State, the private sector and, above all, the inhabitants themselves.
