The Ivorian government has enlisted American lobbying firm Scribe Strategies & Advisors to improve its visibility and reputation in Washington. The firm’s mission is to enhance Abidjan’s standing with key U.S. political and economic institutions. This move is part of broader efforts to strengthen Ivory Coast’s diplomatic and economic ties with the United States. The agreement, confirmed on July 14, 2025, reflects the government’s strategic push for international support ahead of major national events, including the upcoming presidential election.
