Burkina Faso: PA-SD 2025, President Ibrahim Traoré outlines the Stabilisation and Development Axes
The President of Faso has outlined strategic priorities to steer the implementation of the 2025 Action Plan for Stabilization and Development (PA-SD). These directives, structured around three key pillars, aim to address pressing societal needs while fostering improved governance.
The first pillar emphasizes expediting public policies. Prime Minister Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel OUEDRAOGO described 2025 as a pivotal year for the government.
« The President has stressed the urgent and effective execution of policies and initiatives to provide tangible solutions for the population and support the resettlement of displaced persons, » he noted.
This approach reflects a commitment to tackling escalating social and economic challenges with urgency.
The second pillar focuses on combating corruption and harmful practices within public administration.
Highlighting an ongoing trial involving embezzlement in the Ministry of Humanitarian Action, the Prime Minister underscored the necessity of systemic reforms. « The public administration must prioritize serving the common good, rather than enabling personal enrichment at the expense of citizens, » he asserted.
This pillar seeks to align governmental institutions with a renewed ethos of accountability and transparency.
The third pillar addresses the efficient allocation of public resources. The President has called for meticulous resource management, prioritizing high-impact initiatives over routine or low-value activities.
This approach aims to enhance the effectiveness of public investments and ensure that resources deliver maximum benefit to the population.
These strategic guidelines underscore the government’s resolve to foster transparency, optimize resource utilization, and meet citizens’ expectations for stability and progress. By focusing on efficiency and equity, Burkina Faso’s leadership aims to establish a proactive and accountable governance framework for 2025.
