What are the prospects of working in C?te d'Ivoire?

What should I pay attention to when going to work in C?te d’Ivoire, which is famous for its economic development level in Africa?

C?te d'Ivoire means "Ivory Coast" in French, and is also commonly known as "the country ruined by immigration." C?te d'Ivoire is famous for its level of economic development in Africa. Its capital, Abidjan, is known as the "Little Paris of Africa" ??and the "Dazzling Pearl of Africa" ??because of its economic miracle, which has attracted a large number of foreign labor forces. Today, the editor will take you through what you should pay attention to when working in Cote d'Ivoire. 01 In terms of work

Chinese companies in C?te d'Ivoire basically have one or one and a half days off every week, and the construction team's working hours are slightly longer. Work that does not have contact with local people may be no different from that in China; but if you have business dealings with local people, then you must be mentally prepared in advance for black people to have to work hard or work hard. One of the greatest benefits of working in Africa is the practice of carefulness. 02 In terms of life

Chinese companies generally rent houses to live in single-family villas or apartment buildings, and have construction bases or dormitories if possible. Most of them are safe and have no problems. In daily life, you should pay attention to prevent mosquito bites. If you feel unwell, seek medical treatment in time, especially if you have trouble. There are two clinics run by Chinese people in Abidjan. The prices are higher, but the treatment of malaria is still possible. 03 In terms of food

Chinese companies generally have chefs, and almost all common ingredients are available. There are also some Chinese-owned restaurants and catering shops in Abidjan, such as Red Panda, Prince's Palace, Jasmine, and Wuzhou. Hot pot restaurants, Sichuan dishes, dumplings, and charcoal barbecues are all available. In the past, they also provided evening takeout services, but I don’t know if there is any takeout service during the epidemic.

In addition, Abidjan calls itself Little Paris, with many foreigners and specialties from many other countries. McDonald’s also has a store in Abidjan. In addition, if you are interested in local cuisine, you can also try it. Fried bananas and braised black chicken are very famous in the local area. 04 Leisure and Entertainment

The entertainment industry in all of Africa is underdeveloped. Although Abidjan is a big city, it is not familiar enough. Most of the local residents go to various nightclubs for entertainment. The specific content is just singing, watching football games, dancing and drinking. In addition, there are some relatively famous large shopping malls in Abidjan, such as Prima, Carrefour and some cinemas, which are already very good in French-speaking African countries. 05 Security Awareness

Improve your own security awareness, do not leak money, dress plainly, and do not bring cash if you can use a card. Try to avoid disputes with local residents, do not use public transport, hire employees to introduce relatives and friends as much as possible, and introduce drivers who know each other well and have good knowledge of local real-time road conditions + bring your own car for transportation.

It is best not to go out at night. Even if you arrive in a safe area during the day, it is best to be accompanied by locals. In unsafe places, you should bring security personnel with you. Home security checks should be carried out in a timely manner and equipped with self-defense weapons, baseball bats, etc. Don't go and watch the activities where police officers are on duty safely. 06 Medical aspects

All the rabies vaccines that can be injected before arriving in Africa have been taken, so you need to prepare some more medicines. Pay attention to mosquitoes, practice hygiene frequently, and don't hoard water, as it is easy to attract bugs. It is best not to stay indoors at night, and choose window screens and mosquito nets at home with good sealing properties

There are not many Chinese in C?te d’Ivoire. It is said that there are only thousands of them. However, with the political stability and social and economic development, more and more Chinese people live in C?te d’Ivoire. More and more of us Chinese are coming to China. Compared to other cities, living in Abidjan is quite pleasant. The above are the things you need to pay attention to when going to work in Cote d'Ivoire. Is there anything else you need to add?
