Careers
In Côte d’Ivoire, we are developing Baleine, the country’s largest hydrocarbon discovery and Africa’s first net-zero project, which is crucial for domestic industrial development, energy transition and diversification of our traditional portfolio. In the Sud-Comoé region and the municipality of Port-Bouët, we are implementing a programme to promote access to high-quality education by improving learning and upgrading schools for primary and secondary school students.
Initiatives that have already been implemented include the provision of teaching materials and the launch of involvement paths to support families, and training courses for teaching staff. Renovation work on schools including access to electricity, water and sanitation was also completed; textbooks and school materials were distributed and a teacher training programme and remedial courses for students were initiated. The project, located in the Baleine development area of influence, aims to help reduce the school skills shortage that affects a large number of students in Côte d’Ivoire. Added to this are population growth and the introduction of compulsory schooling, resulting in increased enrolment and overcrowding in the country’s educational institutions.

Project actions and objectives
Quality for primary education
Recipients of the project to promote access to quality education and to contribute to the improvement of learning are a number of public schools in Port-Bouët (Abidjan District) and in the South-Comoé region, the areas within the Baleine Phase 1 Development Area of Influence Phase 1. The interventions involved the full renovation of a number of schools in Port-Bouët, including the construction of sports fields, and the functional refurbishment of other schools in Port-Bouët and in the Sud-Comoé region, with new sanitary facilities and connection to the electricity grid. Access to electricity and water is now a reality in facilities that previously lacked these essential services.In addition, all schools were equipped with new desks, mobile libraries, books and computer equipment, as well as stationery and hygiene items according to the schools' needs. The programme is aimed both at students, who are provided with new teaching materials and the opportunity to attend remedial courses, and at teachers and families. Teachers are provided with training and capacity-building courses, and families are involved in education promotion in their home communities. To consolidate what has been achieved, the project also aims to strengthen the Ministry of Education structures in the region and to train ministerial pedagogical advisors and counsellors.

Programmes for local students and professionals
The training of local students and professionals is a priority in the countries where we operate. In Côte d'Ivoire, by virtue of an agreement with the Institut National Polytechnique Felix Houphouet-Boigny (INP HB) and Eni Corporate University, we are promoting two one-year master's degrees in the upstream and downstream sectors. Further agreements aim to develop technical training for the maintenance of the Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit and to provide four scholarships for the best students to attend a master's degree course sponsored by us. In this context, we brought our expertise to the capacity building courses of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) for governments and officials of National Oil Companies (NOCs) organised in producing countries, including Côte d’Ivoire.
