Country Overview

Burkina Faso joined IsDB in 1978. As a landlocked West African nation, Burkina Faso faces unique challenges. Over 65% of its 18.9 million people (2017) are under 25, but with a per capita income of US$696 (2017), the country falls within the Low-Income countries category. Droughts and desertification threaten livelihoods and development.
