Burkina’s development plan

For the next five years, Burkina Faso’s authority will focus on structural transformation of the country’s economy and the welfare of its people via its National Plan for Economic and Social Development.
The plan is expected to help reduce poverty to a large extent by creating 50,000 jobs annually.

In this light, Young entrepreneurs now known as “Agripreneurs” receive support from the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) and the African Development Bank to start their own businesses .
