• Burkina Faso launches Sereya platform for Faso Mêbo
• Platform tracks citizen contributions and project progress
• Integrated with Faso Arzeka national payment system

Burkina Faso’s ICT ministry on Wednesday (Feb. 25) launched a digital platform to support Faso Mêbo, a government initiative aimed at financing development projects.

The platform, named Sereya, is designed to manage and monitor citizen contributions. It enables real-time tracking of payments and inventories, automatic report generation, and visual dashboards showing the progress of funded projects.

Sereya is integrated with the national payment platform Faso Arzeka, a move authorities say will help secure and centralize financial flows linked to public contributions.

“This achievement reflects the collective commitment of the ministry’s staff working in the public interest,” said ICT Minister Aminata Zerbo/Sabane. “Digital technology is not just a tool; it is a lever for transparency, accountability and trust between the State and citizens.”

Officials say the platform forms part of broader efforts to strengthen the use of digital tools in public governance. By enabling documented and verifiable tracking of donations, the government aims to improve transparency and operational efficiency within the Faso Mêbo agency.

The initiative’s success will depend on user uptake and its ability to set a standard for transparent management of public contributions in Burkina Faso.
