Burkina Faso: Faso Mêbo, Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s visionary initiative for a renewed Burkina Faso
Driven by the leadership of Captain Ibrahim Traoré, President of Faso, the presidential initiative Faso Mêbo was launched in October 2024, marking a decisive turning point in the history of Burkina Faso. Adopted by the Council of Ministers, this initiative reflects the President’s strong determination to transform and beautify the country’s major cities, while accelerating the opening up of both urban and rural areas.
Since its launch, Faso Mêbo has sparked exceptional mobilization across all segments of Burkinabe society. Artists, athletes, politicians, influencers, students, and others have united behind this ambitious vision. This initiative is not just an urban planning project—it is a true civic movement aimed at turning every Burkinabe citizen into a builder of the nation.
The pilot phase, currently underway in Ouagadougou, has already produced tangible and promising results. The city’s main roads are being transformed, with new paving adorning sidewalks and medians. Several kilometers of streets have been asphalted, showcasing the efficiency and swift implementation of the project. Component 2 of Faso Mêbo, which focuses on city beautification, is clearly progressing well.
Under the direction of Captain Ibrahim Traoré, top government officials have not hesitated to visit construction sites to encourage workers and supervise operations. This hands-on involvement reflects the government’s deep commitment and determination to ensure the project’s success.
Faso Mêbo is much more than an infrastructure initiative—it is a forward-looking vision for Burkina Faso. By modernizing major cities and improving living conditions, the program aims to create a favorable environment for economic and social development. It also symbolizes hope for a better future for the next generations.
President Ibrahim Traoré has called on all Burkinabe to promote religious tolerance, social cohesion, and peaceful coexistence. This call for unity and civic participation lies at the heart of Faso Mêbo, which seeks to bring citizens together around a shared goal: building a more beautiful, modern, and united Burkina Faso.
In conclusion, the Faso Mêbo presidential initiative, driven by Captain Ibrahim Traoré, stands as a shining example of visionary leadership and civic mobilization. It embodies the hope of a renewed and modernized Burkina Faso, where every citizen plays an active role in nation-building.
