Dr. Tapsoba emphasizes that Africa should not be viewed as a monolithic entity, as it is composed of 54 diverse countries, each with its own unique history, challenges, and potential, making generalizations difficult.
He highlights Rwanda as an example of a country that has successfully navigated post-conflict transition and economic reconstruction, suggesting that Burkina Faso could look to it for inspiration to some extent.
Discussing economic priorities for the next government, Dr. Tapsoba underscores the necessity of securing the country, restoring trust, and fostering conditions for inclusive and sustainable economic growth, with education, health, and infrastructure as critical sectors.
He also stresses the importance of good governance, combating corruption, and ensuring transparency in the management of public resources to promote equitable development.
