A committed, visible and decision-oriented research center
Conducting research is a demanding yet deeply stimulating mission. It requires method, rigor, analytical capacity and the ability to generate useful knowledge for understanding economic and social change.
For several decades, CIRES has supported development through its research, studies, analyses and expertise. The Center has built a strong reputation in the field of economic and social research, both in Côte d’Ivoire and beyond.
In a context shaped by rapid technological change, evolving institutional needs and growing demand for reliable data, our responsibility is to make our work more visible, accessible and useful to decision-makers, partners, researchers, lecturers and students.
This website is therefore intended as a space for dialogue, information and scientific promotion. It presents our activities, projects, publications, teams and contributions to major development issues.
Leading major studies, supporting development projects and responding to contemporary challenges are both a privilege and a responsibility. Our ambition is to strengthen CIRES’ assets and position it sustainably among centers of excellence in economic and social research.
Becoming a reference in economic and social research in Africa and beyond remains an essential vision for our institution.
