Our latest Burkina Faso travel report 2024 (in German) with many pictures is now online! A team from ÖJAB's development cooperation visited the West African country at the end of the year. The aim of the trip was to evaluate ÖJAB's ongoing projects on-site and to initiate new initiatives with potential new partner organizations.
Since 1961, ÖJAB has been continuously involved in development cooperation with the West African country Burkina Faso (formerly: Upper Volta). ÖJAB was a pioneer of Austrian development cooperation for this country. Today, Burkina Faso is one of the priority regions of the Austrian development cooperation.
