A New Paradigm

A new paradigm of development is necessary, because the old models aren’t working.
Information regarding Burkina’s MDG targets clearly show that not only is more information needed, significant changes need to be made in order for MDGs to be satisfied on target.

Message from the UN

“The MDGs recognize the centrality of water and sanitation in poverty reduction… Achieving these targets will also contribute significantly to other Millennium Development Goals including Education, Child Mortality, Gender Equality, Maternal Health, and Fight Against Disease.”

His Excellency Thomas Stelzer, Assistant Secretary-General, United Nations

The MDGs in Burkina Faso are either off track, lacking sufficient information, or possible if changes are made. BARKA Foundation arose to be the change necessary to get these goals on target by 2015. Through the BARKA Burkina Consortium, BARKA is leading an international collaborative effort to attract attention and resources to Burkina Faso.
