The SDUGA is the Master Urban Development Plan for Greater Abidjan, approved by decree in 2016, which plans the urban development of Abidjan and its 6 peripheral municipalities (Anyama, Bingerville, Songon, Jacqueville, Bonoua, Grand-Bassam, and Azaguié) through 2030.
The SDUGA — Master Urban Planning Scheme for Greater Abidjan — is the urban planning document that organizes the spatial development of the Abidjan metropolitan area with a horizon of 2030. It was approved by decree of March 9, 2016, repealing and replacing the former Master Plan for the Abidjan District (SDA) approved in 2000.
The SDUGA covers the Autonomous District of Abidjan and six peripheral municipalities and cities:
This expanded perimeter reflects the reality of rapid urbanization extending well beyond Abidjan's municipal boundaries.

The ADU (Attestation de Droit d'Usage Coutumier / Customary Right of Use Certificate) is the single, secure document that replaces the former Village Certificate as of January 1, 2025. Established by Decree No. 2021-784 and secured by the SIGFU (Decree No. 2021-862), it requires a triple signature (village chief, CVGFR president, developer) and a unique IDUFCI. The ADU is not a property title: it constitutes a provisional recognition opening the path to the ACD (Arrêté de Concession Définitive / Definitive Concession Decree) — the ACD published in the Land Register IS the Land Title. Official deadline: 180 days (BÂTIR No. 004); in practice, 6 to 12 months between ACD signature and its publication in the Land Register. Published ACD = published Land Title — same legal deed, two stages.
