Côte d’Ivoire’s life expectancy at birth saw gradual improvement, rising from 53 years in 1990 to 59 years by 2022. The stagnation during the 1990s and early 2000s was largely due to political instability and the impact of infectious diseases, including malaria and HIV/AIDS. However, gains in life expectancy from 2005 onward align with increased international aid, better access to healthcare, and public health campaigns targeting child and maternal mortality. These efforts have resulted in slow but steady progress over the past two decades.
