Burkina Faso’s economy is predominantly agricultural, with gold mining contributing significantly to exports. Limited industrialization and infrastructure gaps constrain growth. Government policies emphasize economic diversification and infrastructure development, but challenges like political instability and corruption hinder progress. Regulatory frameworks are weak, deterring foreign investment. Society faces widespread poverty, low literacy rates, and limited access to basic services. Education access is improving, but quality remains a concern. Climate risks, including drought and desertification, affect agricultural productivity. Healthcare infrastructure is underdeveloped, with limited access in rural areas.
