Ivory Coast Expands E-Justice Platform to 28 Courts Nationwide
The e-justice platform is designed to secure and streamline judicial processes, beginning with the digitisation of key documents such as certificates of nationality and criminal records, with further services expected to be added progressively.
Ivory Coast has expanded its digital justice system with the onboarding of sixteen additional courts to the national e-justice platform. The rollout was launched on April 20, 2026, at the Court of First Instance in Bingerville by Sansan Kambilé, alongside judicial officials, government representatives, and development partners.
This development is part of the country’s wider effort to modernise public services through digital transformation. The e-justice platform is designed to secure and streamline judicial processes, beginning with the digitisation of key documents such as certificates of nationality and criminal records, with further services expected to be added progressively.
By extending the platform to more jurisdictions, the government aims to reduce delays and improve access to justice, particularly for citizens outside major urban centres. The initiative seeks to ensure a more uniform standard of service delivery across courts, regardless of location.
The courts newly integrated into the system include those in Bingerville, Abengourou, Bondoukou, Bouna, Toumodi, Dimbokro, Bongouanou, Odienné, Bouaflé, Séguéla, Touba, M’Bahiakro, Daloa, and Man, along with the court sections of Katiola and Boundiali. This expansion increases the total number of connected jurisdictions nationwide to 28.
To support implementation, the Ministry of Justice has provided digital equipment to the participating courts, enabling them to operate fully within the platform. The transition is expected to simplify administrative procedures, reduce reliance on physical documents, and enhance the efficiency of judicial services across the country.
