Summary

Burkina Faso faces large balance of payments (BoP) and security needs aggravated by acute food insecurity and political instability. In March 2023, the authorities obtained Fund emergency financing under the Food Shock Window (FSW) of the Rapid Credit Facility to address the ongoing food insecurity crisis, which in some regions remains acute. Following two military coups in 2022, international development support has declined. Burkina Faso has agreed with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) on a return to constitutional order, with elections to be held by July 2024.
