The World Bank approved the $150 million Digital Acceleration Project that seeks to improve access to infrastructure, public services, and digital skills in Burkina Faso.
This new operation will help expand digital connectivity and target several vulnerable populations such as internally displaced persons (IDPs) and rural communities excluded from essential public services. It will also accelerate the digital transformation of these public services, in particular those that have a strong impact on the public and involve such sectors as education, health, and social protection.
