Facebook Monetization in Ivory Coast: 'The news is good' (Minister)

Ivory Coast's Minister of Culture and Francophonie, Françoise Remarck, announced that the monetization of content on Facebook and other Meta platforms is progressing after several months of successful testing. The meeting with Meta at the Ministry of Commerce's office discussed the current status, though an official launch has not yet been finalized. Ivorian content creators hope to earn revenue from their digital audiences. Additionally, a study by Meta and Public First projects the country's digital economy could reach $6.4 billion by 2035, significantly contributing to GDP and increasing internet connectivity among Ivorians.
