FDFP funding in Côte d’Ivoire — AMBIZ approved No. 92-529
AMBIZ is FDFP-approved (No. 92-529) to fund your company's language training. Annual plan, complementary plan, file handled by us.
The FDFP (Fund for Vocational Training Development) lets Ivorian companies fund their employees’ continuing training through the training tax. AMBIZ is FDFP-approved No. 92-529 for over 30 years: we file your case, follow it to approval, and handle invoicing directly.
How FDFP works
Every Ivorian company with at least one declared employee pays a continuing-training tax of 1.2% of payroll. This tax is paid to FDFP, which redistributes it as training funding, provided the training is delivered by an approved organisation and a compliant file is submitted.
In practice, you can recover some or all of your annual contribution as language training for your teams.
Two main funding channels
FDFP offers two main mechanisms:
- Annual plan — file submission early in the year (Jan-Feb) for training planned that year. Longer cycle but most economical.
- Complementary plan — mid-year submission for unanticipated needs. Short cycle (2-4 weeks).
What AMBIZ handles
We manage:
- Needs diagnostic and pedagogical project design.
- FDFP file drafting (DSF, DAS).
- Submission to FDFP and administrative follow-up.
- Invoicing directly to FDFP, no cash advance from you.
- Monthly reporting: attendance sheets, summaries, end-of-training certificates.
Timelines and best practices
Plan an average of 2 to 4 weeks of FDFP processing. September is traditionally busiest. Our tip: anticipate needs for annual-plan cycles — faster and more advantageous.
