Boussé:Nuru Burkina Faso (NBF) organized a meeting on November 11, 2026, in Tindatenga, within the commune of Boussé, aimed at strengthening the organizational and operational capacities of its network of agricultural cooperatives. The gathering brought together leaders from cooperatives in the provinces of Bazèga and Kourwéogo, along with community field agents, representatives from agricultural services, and partner associations.
According to Burkina Information Agency, Sévérin Sama, a member of the executive board of Nuru Burkina Faso, stated that the meeting is part of a project designed to enhance cohesion and professionalization within the cooperative network. He noted that while some cooperatives have achieved success and innovation in governance, stock management, credit recovery, resilience, and the inclusion of women, others are at different stages of maturity.
The meeting aimed to enable less experienced cooperatives to learn from model structures, improving their management and operational mechanisms by adopting successful practices. This initiative also sought to engage community actors, including Village Development Councils, land chiefs, opinion leaders, and spouses of women farmers.
Renaud B. Nagalo, the activity coordinator, led discussions on various themes, allowing participants to share experiences and promising practices. Kabré Zouma Sawadogo from the Wend la Songda cooperative emphasized the benefits of organic fertilizer in soil fertility and its economic potential. Nabaloum Yacouba from Kombissiri shared insights on soybean production, highlighting its economic opportunities.
