BARKA Foundation has dual citizenship, as a US-based 501(c)3 charitable nonprofit organization, and as a Burkina Faso-based organization, Fondation BARKA, which serves as an affiliate.
Fondation BARKA has a 4-person Board of Directors (Bureau Executif), consisting of BARKA Foundation’s two co-founders, and two founding Burkinabè members.
Each year, Fondation BARKA sends a formal request for annual operational funds, and a corresponding budget. This request is reviewed and voted on by the US Board of Directors. Fondation BARKA provides financial reports on a monthly basis, and an annual report of all grant expenses for the year. The US Board maintains financial oversight over its Burkina Faso-based affiliate.
