  • What are the advantages of doing business in Burkina Faso, in relation to other West African countries? Which sectors and industries are performing especially well, and what advice is given to international companies interested to enter the market? What are the impacts of the current health and economic effects of COVID-19 as well as the security situation in the Sahel on doing business in Burkina Faso? And what measures do the Burkinabé government, local companies, and foreign companies in Burkina Faso take to mitigate risks and continue business successfully in insecure times? In this webinar, experts provide their views on these (and more) questions and participants can ask any question they have.
