Burkina Faso: With Faso Mêbo, H.E. Ibrahim Traoré is transforming Ouagadougou into a vast construction site

Ouagadougou is undergoing a remarkable transformation under the presidential initiative Faso Mêbo, launched by Captain Ibrahim Traoré. The capital has become a vast construction site, with urban development, sanitation, and infrastructure projects revitalizing neighborhoods and improving living conditions across the city.

This initiative adopts an innovative approach that blends civic training, practical skills development, and direct youth involvement in national development efforts.

Volunteers are engaged in producing paving stones, beautifying public spaces, rehabilitating roads, and cleaning up neighborhoods contributing tangibly to the modernization of the country.

Beyond urban renewal, Faso Mêbo represents a broader social vision. It offers young people the chance to learn valuable trades while actively participating in nation-building.

The project serves as a school of patriotism and solidarity, where collective effort reinforces national sovereignty and self-reliance.

Visible impacts include improved mobility, revitalized public areas, and a boost to the local economy through job creation and construction activity.

The initiative also strengthens social cohesion by involving diverse segments of the population in shared development goals.

Through Faso Mêbo, Captain Traoré demonstrates that true development is built step by step with and for the people.

The project has become a symbol of a Burkina Faso marching with determination toward a sovereign, prosperous, and action-oriented future.
