Focus on some of President Ibrahim Traoré’s achievements for the emergence of Burkina Faso
President of Burkina Faso, Captain Ibrahim Traoré, even while leading a fierce fight against terrorism in Burkina Faso, finds ways and means to battle for the sovereignty of his country. Through his vision and strategy, he is bringing the Land of Honest Men into prominence through endogenous development.
Under his leadership, Burkina Faso has taken a giant leap towards the valorization of its local resources. Among the flagship projects, we note:
Tomato processing plant in Bobo-Dioulasso aimed at adding value to locally produced tomatoes, thus reducing dependence on imports and creating local jobs.
Mixed economy company for military and paramilitary uniforms using cotton produced in Burkina Faso. This company manufactures uniforms for security forces, thereby promoting the local textile industry and stimulating the economy.
He has also established Golden Hand, a plant for processing mining residues that maximizes the exploitation of the country’s mineral resources, and a gold refining plant that transforms gold extracted from Burkinabe soil, increasing its value before exportation.
President Ibrahim Traoré has launched several initiatives aimed at strengthening agriculture and community development, including:
The Presidential Initiative for Community Development, a comprehensive program aimed at improving living conditions in rural communities through infrastructure and social services projects.
Presidential Initiative for Agriculture: for the 2023-2024 rainy season, 14.725 hectares were cultivated with a production target of nearly 190.000 tons of cereals, vegetables, and tubers. This initiative aims to ensure food security and stimulate rural economy.
One of President Traoré’s major innovations is the introduction of popular shareholding for endogenous and inclusive development. This model allows citizens to become shareholders in local businesses, thereby strengthening community participation in economic development and ensuring a more equitable distribution of wealth.
Thanks to his strategic vision and bold initiatives, President Ibrahim Traoré is positioning Burkina Faso on the path to emergence. By valorizing local resources, strengthening community development, and instituting transparent governance, he is laying the groundwork for a better and sovereign future for the Land of Honest Men.
