  ABSTRACT: This article investigates the impact of investments in information and communication technologies (ICT) and human capital on productivity of firms in Côte d’Ivoire. Using panel data from the BDF 2013 database covering 2001-2012 and employing various econometric approaches (OLS, fixed effects, random effects, dynamic GMM), the findings reveal that both ICT and training expenditures significantly and positively influence labor productivity. The synergy between these two types of investments is particularly strong, highlighting the need for integrated policies that promote digitalization and continuous training. The study concludes with policy recommendations tailored to the structural features of different sectors.
