The Ministry of Digital Transition, Postal and Electronic Communications of Burkina Faso has reported a 91.06 completion rate of its 2025 contract objectives, marking a highly satisfactory performance for the year. The evaluation, conducted on February 3, 2026, involved Minister Dr. Aminata Zerbo/Sabane and Prime Minister Rimtalba Jean Emmanuel Ouedraogo, who praised the results achieved.
Dr. Zerbo/Sabane described 2025 as a "hinge" year for the ministry, both in terms of the scale of initiatives undertaken and tangible outcomes. In connectivity, 370 new locations were linked to the telephone network, providing residents with their first access to telephony and internet services-an important step in reducing the digital divide and improving territorial inclusion.
In data infrastructure, the year saw the completion and inauguration of two modular public administration data centers, significantly enhancing national data storage and security while advancing Burkina Faso's digital sovereignty. The ministry also accelerated administrative modernization, developing or activating 69 new online service platforms, bringing the total to 272 since the National Digital Summit in 2023. Of these, 146 platforms are already operational, improving access to public services for citizens and businesses.
