"As the world changes, La Poste has to reinvent itself, in a way that traditional postal jobs evolve into logistic jobs. Logistics can be boosted by electronic commerce, which we ourselves carry out, and which all our partners carry out, through La Poste’s distribution platform. This requires younger employees, who are more results and ICT oriented, so that all e-commerce companies in Ivory Coast can rely on La Poste’s distribution platform, which is going to be significantly improved, because today, we are going to multiply the 50 or so vehicles we have by 10. We are going to span out across Abidjan and initiate an extension policy for our network throughout the country. Today we have exactly 192 post offices, but our wish is to get as close to our clientele as possible, to facilitate distribution", says Mamadou Konate.
