Using a blank map of Côte d'Ivoire
Teachers, students and slide-makers who need the shape of Côte d'Ivoire can take it here in two versions: Outline only, the shape alone, and With borders, which draws its 19 administrative areas. Each is available as a PNG on a transparent background, an SVG and a PDF.
A regional view for a report
The With borders PNG suits a regional page in a report. Place it in a document and draw coloured circles on a few areas, say Lagunes, Savanes, Zanzan and Lacs, with a key beside the map saying what each circle stands for. The list further down this page gives the spellings.
A table of figures can sit beside the map, with each of its rows numbered to match a circle on the shape.
Designing with the SVG
The SVG scales to any size without blurring, so a designer can use Côte d'Ivoire as a large background shape on a report, with the area lines kept for a regional view or removed for a plain silhouette. In Figma or Illustrator, each area line can be given its own weight and colour.
Slides and handouts
Put the PNG on a slide with its own background colour: the transparent background lets the colour show around the shape. A handout can carry the outline in a corner with a short list of facts beside it. For paper, the PDF opens on A4 or Letter.
More than the outline
Customise this map opens the outline in the editor for names, a title or the countries around it. For ink and paper choices, the printable map of Côte d'Ivoire has them.

Questions people ask
What is the difference between Outline only and With borders?
Outline only is the shape of Côte d'Ivoire with nothing inside it. With borders draws the lines of its 19 administrative areas. Neither version has any names on it.
Is there a political blank map of Côte d'Ivoire?
Yes. It is the With borders version: 19 administrative areas drawn and none named. The list of areas on this page is the key for labelling it.
Is there an answer key for a labelling quiz?
Yes. The list of administrative areas further down this page, from Agnéby to Zanzan, serves as the answer sheet. Number the areas in your own worksheet and check pupils' answers against it.
Which file should I use in a slide?
The PNG. Its background is transparent, so your slide's colour shows around the outline. Use the SVG instead if you want to restyle the shape in Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma.
