Entente of Independents of Côte d'Ivoire (in French: Entente des Indépendents de Côte d'Ivoire), a splinter group of the Democratic Party of Côte d'Ivoire (PDCI). EDICI was founded in Abidjan in the end of 1949. It was led by Vamé Doumouya and Touré Amidou. In the beginning of 1950 the Union of Independents of Côte d'Ivoire (UICI) merged into EDICI.

EDICI was fiercely pro-France and anticommunist.

In 1951 EDICI merged with the Progressive Party of Côte d'Ivoire (PPCI) to form the Party of the French Union in Côte d'Ivoire (PUFCI).
