Local government in Burkina Faso operates through a decentralized system that includes regions, provinces, and municipalities. Each level has its own administrative structure, allowing for local decision-making and governance. The local authorities are responsible for managing public services, infrastructure, and community development. The Burkinabé government promotes citizen participation in local governance through elected councils. These councils are tasked with addressing local needs and priorities, ensuring that the voices of the community are heard. This system aims to enhance accountability and improve the delivery of services to the population.
