Burkina Faso leads UEMOA health budgets with 11% allocation in 2026

In the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA), one nation is setting a regional benchmark. By 2026, Burkina Faso will allocate 11% of its public spending to healthcare—a historic high of 388 billion West African CFA francs out of a total budget of 3,432 billion West African CFA francs. This unprecedented commitment places Ouagadougou ahead of its peers, though it still falls short of international recommendations.
