Since Captain Ibrahim Traoré took power, Burkina Faso has embarked on a rapid economic transformation. Once almost entirely reliant on raw gold and cotton exports, the landlocked Sahel nation is turning those profits inward to construct a sovereign industrial economy.
From assembling homegrown electric vehicles (Itaoua) in Ouaga 2000 to opening massive power plants in Kaya and Koudougou, building local food processing facilities, and upgrading national transport infrastructure, here is the full breakdown of the 10 structural pillars driving Burkina Faso’s economic shift.
