Evidence snapshot for Gabon
Gabon is pursuing economic diversification and institutional modernization across multiple domains. The Nkok Special Economic Zone hosts 144 companies from 16 countries across 22 sectors, with 84 focused on wood processing and employing 6,000–20,000 workers, anchoring a shift from oil dependence, while the country's 23.6M-ha rainforest (88% of territory, deforestation <0.08%/yr) generates results-based CAFI payments of US$17M received for 2016–2017 and up to US$150M earmarked for 2016–2025. Gabon is deploying AI-enabled camera traps with 82% elephant detection accuracy to strengthen park monitoring, and a US$68.5M World Bank loan funds a national digital identity and e-government project, with a new electronic ID card relaunched in June 2024. However, the evidence focuses on project scale and outputs rather than long-term socioeconomic or governance outcomes.
