Yssouf Diabaté, a deputy and mayor, delivered four million CFA francs from Myss Belmonde Dogo, the Minister of National Cohesion, Solidarity, and the Fight Against Poverty, to around twenty people in the Doukouyo sub-prefecture of Côte d’Ivoire.
The minister provided 200,000 CFA francs to each selected resident of villages within the Bamo canton. Diabaté stated the minister did not consider the beneficiaries’ ethnicity, political affiliation, or religion when choosing recipients.
He encouraged the people of Doukouyo to prioritize development over political divisions, and to build relationships without regard to background, mirroring practices in other Ivorian villages. In addition to the cash gifts, three local leaders received motorcycles to support their community work. Dogo Belmonde plans to meet with the residents of Doukouyo either in December 2026 or January 2027, at a time convenient for them.
