In addition, Dr. Sidi Barry, permanent secretary of the MABG, indicated that this session made it possible to adopt two essential reports: the status of the implementation of the national strategy for modernization of public administration, and the s
tate of governance in 2023. ‘These documents will serve as a basis for new directions aimed at strengthening current actions,’ he said.

Dr Sidi Barry added: ‘We can say that in 2023, major actions have been undertaken, and if the dynamic is maintained, we could move towards a modernization of our administration, but above all a strengthening of good governance in Burkina Faso . »
