The Burkinabè Council of Ministers, under the presidency of Captain Ibrahim Traoré, adopted several measures related to resource management for development on September 24, 2026. These measures aim to improve the management of resources mobilized for development. The Council approved the creation of a new public administrative establishment, Faso Sanya, which will be responsible for the maintenance of public assets. This move is part of the government's efforts to prioritize resource management.
Faso Sanya will focus on preventive and corrective maintenance of public buildings, covering areas such as cleaning, plumbing, electricity, air conditioning, and renovation. The establishment will work with the Maison des Compétences Burkina Suudu Bawdè to mobilize cooperatives of qualified workers. This collaboration is expected to create new opportunities for artisans, cooperatives, and small specialized service structures. By professionalizing public asset maintenance, the government aims to improve the management of public infrastructure.
The Council of Ministers also adopted two decrees specifying the conditions for obtaining non-governmental organization (NGO) status and the modalities of collaboration between the state and associative organizations. These texts are part of the implementation of the law of July 17, 2025, on freedom of association. The new regulations require NGOs operating in Burkina Faso to allocate at least 80% of their global budget to direct investments. This measure aims to direct a larger share of resources towards programs and beneficiary populations.
The government's goal is to ensure that a significant portion of resources is dedicated to programs and populations. To achieve this, an agreement framework will be required for associations under Burkinabè law, while foreign organizations will be governed by a seat convention. The new provisions also provide for an administrative, financial, and technical evaluation of activities. A two-year transitional period is granted to concerned organizations to comply with these requirements.
The creation of Faso Sanya is expected to improve the maintenance of public assets and allow the state to better preserve its real estate heritage. By planning maintenance interventions, the government aims to optimize resource allocation. The new structure will enable the state to rely on qualified workers and cooperatives to carry out maintenance tasks. This approach is expected to lead to more efficient management of public resources.
The measures adopted by the Council of Ministers reflect the government's commitment to improving resource management. The new regulations for NGOs and the creation of Faso Sanya demonstrate the government's efforts to prioritize development and optimize resource allocation. The implementation of these measures is expected to have a positive impact on the management of public resources and the delivery of services to populations.
The Burkinabè government's efforts to improve resource management are ongoing. The implementation of the new measures will be monitored, and their impact will be evaluated. The government's goal is to ensure that resources are used efficiently and effectively to support development programs. The creation of Faso Sanya and the new regulations for NGOs are key steps towards achieving this goal.
