Prime Minister Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo stated on April 13, 2026, in Ouagadougou, that Burkina Faso seeks businesses that serve as true development hubs for local populations, rather than exploitative entities. This declaration was made during an audience with the organizing committee of the national symposium on Corporate Social Responsibility CSR. The delegation, led by Dr. Alain Siri, Executive Director of the Center for Economic and Social Policy Analysis CAPES, provided an update on the preparations for the symposium, which is scheduled to open on April 14 in Ouagadougou. During the meeting, Prime Minister Ouédraogo outlined the government's expectations for the private sector, urging participants to engage in frank discussions to identify obstacles to effective CSR. He stressed the importance of concrete, structured actions resulting from the symposium's conclusions, which should be integrated into public policies. The symposium aims to consolidate fragmented initiatives to establish a platform for committed businesses, enabling them to transform their daily practices into drivers of sustainable social and economic growth for the country.
