SECTOR 2 systematically increased and that it is not uncommon for newspapers not getting delivered in the Koroko at all. An Ivorian newspaper, on average, costs 200 CFA (about €0.30), which is not high compared to the cost of production and distribution but it remains out of reach for the most disadvantaged. The index-linked guaranteed minimum wage (SMIC) currently rates around 36,000 CFA (€55) for about 40 to 48 working hours a week. A study conducted between 2008 and 2009, which was commissioned by the Ministry of Planning and Development revealed that 48% of the population lived below the poverty line, on 645 CFA (about €1) a day. Scores: Individual scores: 1 Country does not meet indicator 2 Country meets only a few aspects of indicator 3 Country meets some aspects of indicator 4 Country meets most aspects of indicator 5 Country meets all aspects of the indicator Average score: 3.4 (2009: 5.0)* 2.2 Citizens’ access to domestic and international media sources is not restricted by state authorities. If no law prevents citizens from accessing international media, the panellists consider that public authorities have the potential to restrict this access in case of a national crisis situation as it was the case during the crisis in 2011 during which RFI (Radio France Internationale), France 24 and TV5 broadcasts were limited. The CNCA (National Council of Audiovisual Communciation), which recently became the HACA (High Authority on Audiovisual Communication), can suspend a programme or issue a financial sanction as a fine issued to RFI for disclosing certain information that went against the Cahiers des Charges (terms and regulations). * Indicators 2.1 - 2.4 were scored by only eight panellists instead of nine.
