The École Nationale Supérieure de Statistique et d’Économie Appliquée (ENSEA) has a staff of more than 50 members spread over 12 departments. About 25% of the administrative staff of ENSEA Abidjan are women.

A dynamic team that works with abnegation, dedication, rigour, solidarity in effort, respect for others, and a warm welcome for guests. All these values have earned us the label of Centre of Excellence from the World Bank in 2015 and then the recognition of the Ivorian government with the award of the most modern administration in Cote d’Ivoire on the occasion of the national festival of excellence in 2017.
