Ivory Coast
ASM Population: 500,000
Total according to speech of Minister at OECD Forum 2017 (seems plausible for a population of 25 million) → 500,000
Min/max: Total appears to be at upper end of range (MAX). MIN might be between total and HIL-16 → 300,000 - 500,000
Female participation: no data. As diamond is more important than gold, participation is believed to be less than African default: 20%? → 100,000?
Gold: gold is less important than diamond. Perhaps 150,000? gold and 250,000? diamond.
