OUAGADOUGOU — During a tour of the South-West region, a government delegation has provided 30 tricycles to local leaders in Gaoua and Diébougou as part of a broader effort to enhance community development. The initiative is aimed at bolstering local infrastructure and environmental conservation efforts.

According to Burkina Information Agency, which included Minister in charge of Industry Serge Poda and Minister in charge of Youth Roland Somda, the tricycles are expected to aid in various community projects. These include the construction and rehabilitation of local infrastructure, improvements to the living environment, and efforts to preserve the environment. The handover event marked a significant step in implementing the Presidential Initiative for Community Development, adopted by the Council of Ministers on August 30, 2023.

The National Office for Major Projects has been coordinating the initiative's activities, aiming to strengthen the capacities of grassroots communities across the region. This donation forms part of several ongoing government missions across Burkina Faso, which seek not only to provide material support but also to engage with communities to gather feedback and suggestions for enhancing governmental policies and actions.
