"The Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women today examined the fourth periodic report of Côte d’Ivoire on measures taken to implement the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women." (2019) "In 2016, the principle of equality between all citizens and a list of prohibited grounds of discrimination, including on the grounds of sex, had been introduced in the Constitution, and the March 2019 law on the representation of women in elected assemblies imposed a 30 % quota for women candidates. Côte d’Ivoire was committed to overcoming the remaining challenges and guaranteeing to its women the equal enjoyment of the fruits of development, including through the social programme 2018-2020 and its budget of over $1.7 billion dollars" (OHCHR).

Côte d'Ivoire passed a law in 2019 requires political parties to meet a female candidate quota of 30% for parliamentary elections (The Africa Report, 2021).
