Burkina Faso

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.

The Islamic Solidarity Fund for Development actively empowers Burkina Faso through impactful projects. Initiatives like the Dangoumana region Hydroagricultural Development (PAHD) and the Sahel Sustainable Pastoralism Development program bolster food security and empower rural communities.

Education and healthcare receive a vital boost through the Out-of-School Children & Adolescent Project and the LLF-Primary Health Care Strengthening initiative. Moreover, the Solar Rural Electrification Project brings clean energy to remote areas, fostering economic growth and social well-being.
