The commune of Komborodougou, located in the Korhogo department of Côte d'Ivoire, has adopted a Strategic Development Plan (PSD) for 2027-2031. This plan aims to guide the commune's investments and priority actions over the next five years. The document was officially presented to municipal authorities on September 25, 2026, at the town hall. The PSD was developed with the support of the UNESCO Chair on Anticipation, Prospective and Sustainable Territories (CUAPTD) at the Alassane Ouattara University of Bouaké.
The development of the PSD involved a territorial diagnosis that highlighted several needs in the commune. These needs include access to water, healthcare, education, sanitation, and rural roads. However, the diagnosis also revealed the commune's potential for agriculture and culture, as well as the electrification of its ten villages. Based on these findings, the PSD prioritizes the modernization of the local economy, valorization of agricultural production, environmental protection, improvement of infrastructure, and reinforcement of human capital.
The mayor of Komborodougou, Soro Gona Ali, emphasized that the PSD will facilitate the mobilization of resources and coordination of interventions from the state, development partners, the private sector, and local actors. He expressed his hope that the PSD will be a genuine tool for the transformation of the commune. The PSD aims to address the commune's challenges and harness its potential for sustainable development.
The representative of the CUAPTD, Dr. (MC) Coulibaly Tiécoura Hamed, noted that the participatory approach used to develop the PSD allowed for the consideration of the needs and aspirations of the population. This was achieved through consultations with various components of the territory. The PSD is expected to guide the commune's development over the next five years.
The adoption of the PSD is a significant milestone for Komborodougou, as it provides a framework for sustainable development. The plan is expected to help the commune achieve its ambitions by 2031, including building a more diversified economy, improving infrastructure, and strengthening local governance. The PSD will serve as a guide for the commune's development efforts.
The development of the PSD was a collaborative effort involving the commune, the CUAPTD, and other stakeholders. The plan is expected to be implemented over the next five years, with progress monitored and evaluated regularly. The commune's authorities are committed to ensuring the successful implementation of the PSD.
The adoption of the PSD has been welcomed by stakeholders, who see it as a crucial step towards sustainable development in Komborodougou. The plan is expected to have a positive impact on the lives of the commune's residents, improving their access to basic services and economic opportunities.
