Burkina Faso Raises Nearly $800Mln for Counter-Terrorism Fund, Surpassing Initial Goal: PM
Burkinabe Patriotic Support Fund, launched by President Ibrahim Traoré, has collected approximately $795 million between 2023 and 2026, Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouédraogo announced.
The collections in the first quarter of 2026 alone reached close to $72 million — a 22.65% increase compared to the same period of 2025, he noted at the first session of the fund's Orientation Council in Ouagadougou.
The results mark a significant overachievement of the fund's original targets, with the mobilized resources earmarked for financing the country's fight against terrorism, Ouédraogo stressed.
