Burkina Faso allocates 11% of public spending to health in 2026
Burkina Faso leads UEMOA with highest health budget allocation in 2026
The Burkina Faso is setting new benchmarks in West Africa. In its 2026 national budget, the country is allocating 11% of total public expenditure to healthcare, amounting to 388 billion West African CFA francs. This unprecedented regional commitment represents a total budget of 3,432 billion CFA francs, positioning Ouagadougou as the clear leader in healthcare investment among UEMOA member states.
The allocation far exceeds regional averages and brings Burkina Faso closer to international health financing targets, though it has yet to fully meet them. This strategic prioritization reflects the government’s commitment to strengthening public health infrastructure and improving healthcare accessibility for its population.
