Evidence snapshot for Ouagadougou
Orange Digital Center Burkina Faso delivered 243,000 training hours to 4,869 young people in Ouagadougou during 2025, placing over 100 graduates into employment and incubating 15 startups. A Calibrated Low-Cost PM2.5 Sensor Network Across Burkina Faso's Three Largest Cities recorded an average PM2.5 concentration of 48.5 µg/m³ in Ouagadougou — approximately nine to ten times the WHO daily guideline — based on 13 sensor sites monitored continuously from November 2021 to November 2022. The evidence demonstrates both digital skills development activity and severe air-quality challenges in the city, though the air-quality data does not extend beyond 2022.
