The organization and management of civil registration in Burkina Faso was presented by the Secretary General of Banwa Province, Abdoul Kader KongZabr. The presentation provided participants with insights into the challenges related to maintaining civil registration records and the difficulties faced in the province's various municipalities.

The final theme addressed the uncontrolled use of pesticides in the province and its consequences. This was developed by Madou Coulibaly, the provincial director of agriculture, animal, and fisheries resources of Banwa.
