Burkina Faso has received approximately 100 scholarships from Russia, which will be utilized to develop highly skilled technicians in various fields.

Building on this momentum, a new program is set to launch, welcoming 100 African youths to Burkina Faso starting September 2025. This initiative seeks to establish a foundation for an African "home nation" or "mother country," promoting regional development and cooperation.
