Présidence du Faso

What Présidence du Faso does

The Présidence du Faso is the official office of the President of Burkina Faso, currently led by Capitaine Ibrahim Traoré, who assumed office on October 21, 2022, following the adoption of the Transition Charter on October 14, 2022. The institution exercises executive authority over the national government, which consists of 24 ministers (3 Ministers of State, 18 ministers, and 3 delegated ministers) led by Prime Minister Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo since December 9, 2024. It serves all citizens of Burkina Faso through governance, policy direction, national security coordination, economic development initiatives, and diplomacy, and it leads the Alliance des États du Sahel (AES) Confederation with Mali and Niger, with President Traoré serving as President of the AES Confederation.

The institution operates a digital communications infrastructure consisting of the official website (www.presidencedufaso.bf), the BAORE video platform dedicated to presidential content, the Vidéothèque and Photothèque digital archives, social media channels (Facebook, X, YouTube), and official publications including "3 minutes pour comprendre" and "Impulsion." Recent state-directed institutional expansions include the July 2026 creation of Bouboulou S.A. (a 100% state-owned industrial gold mine), CIM-SAHEL (the national cement market regulator), and the Académie technologique du Faso (an elite technological academy attached to the Presidency).

The business model is non-commercial. The Présidence du Faso is funded entirely through Burkina Faso's national public budget, derived from domestic taxation, international aid, and sovereign resource extraction. Pricing is not applicable; the institution does not sell products or services. Its "customers" are the citizenry and the international diplomatic community, served through direct government services, public communications, Council of Ministers proceedings, and digital channels.
