    The Centre d’Analyse des Politiques Economiques et Sociales (CAPES) or Country Level Knowledge Network in Burkina Faso, was set up in 2000 as a legal entity attached to the Office of the President and operated under its technical supervision but with financial and budgetary autonomy. Today, CAPES has become a focal point for generating, on a demand driven basis, outputs relating to capacity building in economic and social policy. In December 2003, the ACBF Executive Board approved a grant of US$ 275, 000 towards the Country level Knowledge Network in Burkina Faso.

    Project Description:

    The project aimed to serve as a hub for the generation, utilization, dissemination, promotion,  and sharing of knowledge on socio-economic development issues in Burkina Faso.

The remarkable achievements ACBF has registered over the past 26 years is not by accident in our opinion. They have come through hard work, dedication, commitment, purposeful leadership, support from the member countries as well as productive partnership building.

Africa needs ACBF as much, probably more now, than at the time it was created in 1991.
