A project to enhance electronic communications services throughout Burkina Faso, improving governance, as well as education, vocational training, health and public finance services, has been finalised between Minister of Cooperation and Humanitarian Action, Romain Schneider, and the Government of Burkina Faso. 

Luxembourg satellite services company, SES S.A., will contribute substantially to the project which has been under discussion since 2013. The Government of Luxembourg was, however, concerned to ensure that conditions in the country were stable following a period of unrest preceding the 2015 elections before finalising the agreement.
