In Côte d'Ivoire where we have started Baleine, – the first project in Africa with zero net emission development activities (scope 1 and 2), and we are carrying out an extensive programme to strengthen the local health system, improve access to health services for the population and promote the wellbeing of communities. These activities confirm our company's commitment to protecting the population through specific programmes to strengthen local health systems and infrastructure. The first project aims to improve healthcare services for the most vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, newborns, and children in underserved areas of the country. Specifically, it provides support to local healthcare facilities, coordinated by religious organisations, for staff training and service management. A second initiative targets healthcare service improvements in in several health centres located in the Sud Comoé region.

Project actions and objectives
Access to quality healthcare services for the population
The aim of the project is to support several healthcare facilities managed by grassroots religious organisations, coordinated by the Union de Religieux/euse qui travaillent dans la Santé et le Social en Côte d'Ivoire (U.R.S.S.C.I.). The programme features training for medical staff, support in reorganising management processes, the supply of medicines, and infrastructural improvements in selected facilities. The project also includes a significant training programme to improve the organisation and management of health services and emergency response. Infrastructural improvements have already been made in some centres, including a new maternity ward in the hospital in Abobo, a disadvantaged area of Abidjan.
Powering the local health system in the South Comoé region
The project, in collaboration with the NGO International Rescue Committee (IRC), involves integrated interventions in facilities in the South Comoé region, focusing on the rehabilitation of the infrastructure, access to drinking water, the provision of medical equipment and ambulances, vaccination campaigns, healthcare personnel training, strengthening monitoring and management services, and community awareness. Three health centres in Assouindé and Bondoukou were renovated in 2025, adding to the three facilities completed in 2024 in Ayenouan, Djiminikoffikro, and Ono-Salci, while another facility in Grand-Bassam is being upgraded. The works also include the improvement of the water sanitation infrastructure (WASH - Water Sanitation Hygiene) and patient rooms. Initiatives were also run to train medical personnel, with a particular emphasis on maternity and neonatal care.
