Burkina Faso institutional and administrative capacity-strev

Overview

Burkina Faso has initiated several domestic training programs aimed at strengthening state institutions and national sovereignty. In mid-September 2026, the government launched a new War College at the Tiéfo Amoro Higher Military Education Institute (IEMS-TA) in Ouagadougou. Led by Prime Minister Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo, the program focuses on military strategy and operational planning to develop an endogenous doctrinal approach, reducing reliance on foreign training.

By late September 2026, the government expanded its training efforts to civil administration and public finance. Justice Minister Edasso Rodrigue Bayala introduced training for ministry officials to improve the drafting of legal and normative acts. Concurrently, the Institut des finances publiques du Burkina (IFPB) concluded training for 394 specialists. Reports from these sessions highlighted significant shifts in national economics, noting that public debt rose from 2,188.5 billion FCFA in 2015 to 8,173.3 billion FCFA in 2024, largely due to security and humanitarian requirements.
