Burkina Faso’s Market Functionality Index Shows Improvement, Despite Regional Variations. Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso – April 17, 2026 – The Logistics Cluster and the World Food Programme (WFP) have released the latest Market Functionality Index (MFI) report for Burkina Faso, revealing a national increase in market functionality but highlighting regional disparities.
The report indicates that the national MFI score has climbed to 6. 7 in 2025, a significant improvement from the previous year.
However, the overall improvement is not uniform across the country.
The regions of the East, Sahel, and North — Central have seen the least functional markets, largely due to ongoing security challenges. These areas depend heavily on secured convoys for market access, and face ongoing constraints related to price volatility and supply irregularities. Despite the national progress, the MFI report underscores the need for targeted interventions to address the regional variations.
The index serves as a critical tool for guiding programmatic choices and identifying areas requiring in — depth analysis and strategic investments to enhance market resilience and ensure equitable access to essential goods for all Burkinabè.
