Burkina Faso: 35,6 billion CFA francs already mobilized for the Patriotic Support Fund

35,6 billion FCFA. This is the cumulative amount of mandatory deductions from salaries paid into the Patriotic Support Fund (FSP) as of September 29, 2026. In nine months, the contribution of workers in the public and private sectors continues to feed the fund intended to support the national effort.

The public sector accounts for the largest share of this mobilization. Between January 1st and September 29th, deductions made from the salaries of public employees reached 29,9 billion FCFA.

The private sector also contributes to this mobilization. Over the same period, deductions made in private companies and structures generated 5,7 billion FCFA.

In total, the two sectors have contributed 35,6 billion FCFA in less than nine months. The figures were presented on September 30, 2026, by the Ministry of Economy and Finance, which continues to monitor contributions to the FSP (Fund for the Support of the Private Sector).

These figures thus provide a new measure of workers' participation in financing the Patriotic Support Fund, through deductions made directly from wages.
