Burkina Faso

As part of the 10th partnership committee, Rosine Hadizatou Coulibaly/Sori, Burkina Faso’s Minister of the Economy, Finance and Development, visited Luxembourg. 

2017 had been mainly devoted to the process of formulating the new programmes under the ICP III, so 2018 saw the launch of bilateral programmes in the fields of sustainable management of natural resources and education, as well as a new support project for the development of the shea sector. Three agreements for bilateral projects and programmes were signed in 2018.

As the lead partner in the sub-sector of teaching and technical and vocational training, Luxembourg has continued to steer the process of formulating the new multi-partner programme to be implemented jointly in this field. The project to support the development of ICT in Burkina Faso, formally launched in April 2017, made considerable progress in terms of rolling out the infrastructure of the RESINA network.
