VTC - Delivery: Abidjan wants to restore order in the sector

The Ministry of Transport and Maritime Affairs unveiled, Thursday August 13, 2026 in Abidjan, a reform plan aimed at better regulating Transport Vehicles with Drivers (VTC) and parcel delivery services. The announcement was made by the General Directorate of Land Transport and Traffic (DGTTC), following a meeting with operators in the sector. According to Oumar Sacko, Director General of the DGTTC, this consultation responds to a systematic ministerial instruction before any reform. The diagnosis drawn up points to rapid and anarchic growth in activity, due to a lack of sufficient statistical data to regulate it effectively.Among the avenues mentioned are a transitional authorization to allow companies to comply, as well as a future price comparison intended to offer more transparency to users when ordering a trip. A price framework is also planned to avoid abuse. “Our objective is to guarantee the sustainability of their activities while preserving the rights of users,” summarizes Oumar Sacko.
