As part of his duties, he has been resolutely committed to modernising the social security business by making the IPS-CNPS a key player in investment in Côte d’Ivoire. As a result, the Institution has been ranked first in the 2021 Public Administration Awards.

The Director General’s vision of social security has revolutionised the Institution, and is clearly visible in the current and future performance of IPS CNPS Côte d’Ivoire.
