Burkina Faso and the United Nations have formalized a financing agreement exceeding 850 billion CFA francs to implement three major development programs from 2025 to 2030, targeting food sovereignty, resilience, and territorial stabilization.
The deal, signed by Minister of Economy and Finance Dr. Aboubakar Nacanabo and UN Acting Coordinator Maurice Azonnankpo, allocates 645 billion CFA francs to transforming food systems nationwide, focusing on regions with high agricultural potential and food insecurity.
An additional 109 billion CFA francs is dedicated to the Humanitarian-Development-Peace Transition Support Program, shifting the focus from emergency aid to long-term resilience and peace, while over 151 billion CFA francs will fund stabilization and social cohesion initiatives in border and fragile areas.
The agreement complements Burkina Faso’s recently adopted National Development Plan RELANCE (2026-2030), aligning with its four strategic pillars and acting as a practical accelerator for improving living conditions.
Officials emphasized that this partnership represents a critical step toward the country’s development ambitions, reinforcing state presence, promoting social cohesion, and addressing persistent security and climate challenges across the nation.
