The president of PCRSS-Burkina, Boulaye Sanogo, indicated that by mid-2025, the project will have constructed school, health, and water infrastructure for the population's benefit.
Additionally, seeds, inputs, and essential household items were distributed to beneficiaries. Mr. Sanogo also reported that in 2025, the project expanded its intervention area from 24 to 29 municipalities.
