Concerning human governance, to have an exact assessment of state
agents, the biometric census of public service workers was organized in
2012, on the entire national territory with the help of a private operator,
GEMADEC. The operation was carried out in two phases.
The first was conducted from 28 May to 5 August 2012 and resulted in
enlisting 113,819 agents paid from state budget.
The second phase took place from 3 to 15 December 2012 and resulted in
the identification of 5,442 late agents paid from state budget.
The main objective of the project is to control the total number of public
officials to ensure more efficient control of staff expenditure in the state
budget. This operation should contribute to the respect of the WAEMU
convergence criteria by Burkina Faso, notably the criteria aimed at devoting
a maximum of 35% of tax revenues to salaries.
The provisional results of this operation were presented to the Council of
Ministers on 24 October 2012. The latter approved the pursuit of the
operation and gave instructions for its perpetuation.
Also, to facilitate access to public services, the MFPTSS published a
directory and address management of public structures. The directory helps
to bring the administration closer to the citizens, as well as facilitating
access of users to public structures. It is also presented in the form of a
telephone directory of state administrative structures.
