The World Bank has approved a new project in Burkina Faso aimed at expanding economic opportunities for vulnerable populations and strengthening the country’s social protection system, marking a renewed partnership between the institution and the government.
Announced on July 16, 2026, the financing is designed to foster social cohesion while bolstering the West African nation’s safety nets. The project targets vulnerable communities affected by ongoing insecurity and economic hardship.
