PND 2026-2030: Ahoua Don Mello criticizes a plan 'too dependent on external sources'

Ahoua Don Mello criticizes the National Development Plan (PND) 2026-2030, which requires 114,838.5 billion CFA francs, as nearly 70% of resources come from the international private sector. He argues this increases economic dependence and harms local stakeholders and youth. The government welcomes investment pledges of $80 billion from partners, but Mello warns these funds will increase debt repaid by Ivorian taxpayers.
