Côte d’Ivoire Strengthens Digital Justice with Nationwide E-Justice Rollout
The expansion is part of the government's broader efforts to modernize public services and improve access to justice through digital technologies.
Côte d’Ivoire has taken another step in the digital transformation of its judicial system with the integration of 11 additional courts into the national e-justice.ci platform, expanding digital judicial services across the country. The announcement was made during a ceremony in Divo on June 29, presided over by Minister of Justice and Human Rights Jean Sansan Kambile alongside Minister of Hydraulics, Sanitation and Hygiene Amédée Koffi Kouakou, who also serves as President of the Lôh-Djiboua Regional Council.
The newly connected jurisdictions include Divo, Oumé, Sinfra, Lakota, Gagnoa, Soubré, Guiglo, Tabou, Sassandra, Issia and Danané, bringing the total number of courts linked to the e-justice platform to 39. The expansion is part of the government’s broader efforts to modernize public services and improve access to justice through digital technologies.
With the latest rollout, nationality certificates and criminal record extracts are now issued exclusively through the e-justice.ci platform across all jurisdictions in the country. The platform has also introduced additional online services, including the issuance of criminal record Bulletins No. 1 and No. 2 for government administrations, Bulletin No. 3 for Ivorians born abroad and foreign nationals residing in Côte d’Ivoire, requests for document authentication, and the gradual digitization of additional judicial procedures.
Minister Kambile said the expansion reflects the government’s commitment to building a justice system that is more modern, efficient, transparent and accessible to citizens. He noted that digitalization is helping simplify administrative procedures while improving the delivery of judicial services nationwide.
The event also marked the inauguration of a new administrative building at the Divo Court of First Instance. The facility, donated by the Lôh-Djiboua Regional Council, includes 10 offices, two meeting rooms, an interrogation room and detention facilities, and is intended to improve working conditions for magistrates and other judicial personnel.
Kambile described the new building as an example of successful collaboration between national and regional institutions, saying it demonstrates how institutional cooperation can strengthen the judicial system while improving public service delivery for citizens.:::
