Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire

Abidjan, and it’s 4 million citizens, is one of the most modern cities in West Africa. Cote d’Ivoire was once called “Little Paris” and was a bright spot for West Africa. However, 2 civil wars in the past 20 years left the country in a battered state. However, they have proved their resilience and built the city and country back up almost to its former glory. There is a large Catholic presence in the country as well as numerous evangelical denominations and
organizations. While still a majority world country, Cote d’Ivoire offers the best West Africa has to offer in terms of infrastructure.
