I've been trying to find a shapefile containing CIV's administrative divisions (preferably down to the level of sous-prefecture) reflecting the national reorganization of 2011 but have had no luck. Everything I've found thus far contains pre-2011 boundaries; does anyone know where I might find a shapefile representative of 2011 boundaries?

You can download the "official" EU administrative/statistical units from Eurostat's GISCO service. The vector layers are available as ESRI Shapefiles and Personal GDBs, at different resolutions from here.
Note, in order to extract the country level polygons as below, you will need to extract all features based on the following query STAT_LEVL_ = 1 from the Shapefile NUTS_RS_01M_2013.shp.
Try here: https://mydata.biz/ru/catalog/databases/borders_ru ; there are 9 levels to choose from, the most detailed of which is level 8.

Take a look at this website: http://gadm.org/country
Here you can select 'Côte d'Ivoire' and download the corresponding data in several formats. On the download page, you can already preview if this is what you actually looked for. Normally, the 'GADM database of Global Administrative Areas' is kept up-to-date and contains as many details as possible.
