According to the World Bank, over 40% of Burkina Faso's population lives below the national poverty line.
To this end, the Burkinabe president asked his ministers to review the spending of their departments in order to reinvest the savings in essential infrastructure.

"Drinking water is not a guarantee for everyone here in Burkina Faso. Today, we are also fighting for the food sovereignty. There are so many problems ahead of us that we must save as much as possible to face them," Ibrahim Traoré stressed on November 4 during the flag-raising ceremony, according to the local media.
