The Burkinabe government has rolled out a new digital platform, Dèmè Sira, to regulate online fundraising, requiring all public appeals for donations to vulnerable people to receive prior authorization. Announced by the Ministry of Family and Solidarity on July 7, the move is intended to curb the growing number of scammers exploiting public generosity. However, critics, including opinion writer ‘Le Fou’, warn that the bureaucracy could delay life-saving donations. “When a patient needs urgent surgery, will the disease wait for administrative approval?” he writes. The platform is designed to centralize charity and ensure transparency, but questions remain about its 24/7 availability and efficiency.
