Key Takeaways
Côte d'Ivoire’s military personnel count remained stable at 15,000 from 1990 to 1999 but experienced significant changes in the 2000s, influenced by political instability and civil conflict. The force dropped to 8,000 in 2000, reflecting turmoil during a military coup. By 2002, personnel numbers rebounded to 17,000, aligned with the outbreak of civil war and the subsequent need to strengthen security.

From 2012 onward, the military saw steady growth, reaching 25,000 by 2016. This increase reflects post-conflict reforms and the government’s focus on stabilizing the nation after years of unrest. The expansion highlights Côte d'Ivoire's efforts to rebuild its defense capacity and maintain peace in a recovering political landscape.
