 Welcome to the Public Information Center (PIC) of the World Bank’s Resident Mission in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire.
Our mission is to make available to the public information related to the Bank’s work in general, and its Côte d’Ivoire portfolio in particular. The Center is also a source of information on all issues related to development. As an interface between the World Bank and the Public, the PIC offers free consultation of publications of the Bank and its partners. We also provide free Internet access to researchers. Visitors The center is open to anyone seeking information on development and poverty reduction. The information available at the PIC is especially geared toward government officials, academicians, civil society representatives, students, journalists, economic operators, and all development partners. Access Procedures To gain access to the center, visitors are directed to a booth for clearance by security guards. Once this step has been completed, visitors carrying bags or document holders are required to leave them in a cubby hole, as directed by the security guard. These security procedures are intended to provide our visitors with free and completely undisturbed access. Hours of Operation Days: Tuesday to Thursday
Hours: 9:30 am - 12 pm and 3 pm - 5 pm Services To consult documents, visitors are required to submit a registration card, either manually or electronically, indicating their research areas, so that guidance can be provided to them. All documents are consulted on site. The PIC also provides documents free of charge that visitors can take with them. Internet research: In view of the fact that the PIC has only two computers, the length of time spent on them is determined by demand. If more than two visitors wish to conduct Internet research, usage time is limited to one hour; otherwise, visitors may use computers for more than one hour. What information can be found at the PIC? - Information on World Bank-financed projects: economic sector work, environmental assessment, project appraisal, operations evaluations, Country Assistance Strategy, etc.
