Cote D'Ivoire
Administrative divisions of Ivory Coast
Ivory Coast is administratively reorganised into twelve districts plus two district-level autonomous cites. The districts were further divided into 31 regions, then sub-divided into departments and sub-prefectures.
Ivory Coast things to see and do
During Medieval times, the region that is now Ivory Coast was at the centre of several major African trade routes, linking the empires which then existed in Ghana and Mali. European traders had been present in the region since the 15th century, but it was not until the 19th that the French undertook a determined penetration of the region.
Food in Ivory Coast
The food in Cote d’Ivoire reflects the cultural diversity of its population and especially its expatriate population. Italian, Vietnamese and Chinese food is becoming increasingly popular, while Senegalese and Moroccan cuisines are specialties.
