Boudry: The High Commissioner of the Gourma province, Silas Nacanabo, presided over an information meeting on the "Dem¨ Sira" campaign this Monday, February 16, 2026, in Fada N'Gourma, in the presence of representatives from the province's various bodies. The objective is to generate strong social and financial support for this national solidarity initiative.
According to Burkina Information Agency, the Provincial Director in charge of Humanitarian Action in Gourma, Paul Yara, stated that the campaign aims to strengthen the culture of national solidarity through media, social, and community actions to have a real impact on the population. Mr. Yara indicated that "Dem¨ Sira" intends to promote community initiatives, especially those of young people, and encourage contributions from all citizens, without distinction.
The DP emphasized that no one should be left out, stressing that every gesture, however modest, contributes to creating a dynamic of solidarity and national belonging. The campaign, already launched in the 13 regions of Burkina Faso, has entered its provincial phase, aiming to mobilize resources as close as possible to the municipalities and localities.
The collected contributions will be divided into two parts: one to support vulnerable people at the local level directly and the other to be centralized at the national level for wider redistribution. The High Commissioner, Silas Nacanabo, highlighted the importance of information sharing and defining strategies for social and financial mobilization to ensure the campaign's success. He commended the participants' enthusiasm, emphasizing that solidarity should be a permanent effort, and Gourma aims to be a leading contributor.
Information sessions will be organized at the municipal level to enhance understanding of the campaign's objectives and increase public mobilization. Paul Yara mentioned that donations are being received at the provincial directorate in charge of solidarity, and contributions will be assessed collaboratively to ensure transparency.
The 'Dem¨ Sira' campaign serves as a framework for expressing the values of sharing and mutual aid advocated by national authorities, emphasizing collective effort as a crucial lever for building and consolidating the nation.
