This development will only be a reality with the involvement and mobilization of all Burkinabè people,’ the governor suggested.

For more than two hours, the first officials of APEC, in collaboration with the cooperative society ‘Building the Future’, discussed the different missions of this initiative.

For the Director General of the Agency for the Promotion of Community Entrepreneurship (APEC), Karim Traoré, it was with great satisfaction that they noted the strong mobilization of the population, demonstrating their interest in this action.
