Engineering Research Landscape in Burkina Faso | Paysage de la Recherche en Ingénierie au Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso, with a population of over 22 million, stands as a growing engineering research hub in West Africa. The country is a major producer of gold and cotton, with significant infrastructure development including the Ouagadougou International Airport, the Bobo-Dioulasso Airport, and major road networks. Prestigious institutions include the University Joseph Ki-Zerbo (Ouagadougou), University Nazi Boni (Bobo-Dioulasso), University of Ouahigouya, and the Institut des Sciences et Techniques (INSTECH). Through initiatives like the National Economic and Social Development Plan (PNDES) 2021-2025 and the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRST), Burkina Faso is making significant investments in engineering research, particularly in areas such as mining engineering (gold, manganese, zinc), agricultural engineering (cotton, shea, sesame), civil infrastructure, and renewable energy (solar power).
Mining & Mineral Engineering | Ingénierie Minière et Minérale
Burkina Faso is a major gold producer in Africa, with significant gold mines including Mana, Inata, Essakane, and Karma. Research focuses on gold mining, mineral processing, manganese and zinc extraction, and sustainable mining practices.
Agricultural & Food Engineering | Ingénierie Agricole et Alimentaire
Burkina Faso is a major cotton producer in Africa and a significant producer of shea nuts, sesame, and livestock. Research focuses on cotton processing, shea butter production, post-harvest technology, and agricultural mechanization.
