As per Law No.40/98/AN in 1998, Burkina Faso adhered to decentralization to provide administrative and financial autonomy to local communities. Most of these, according to their individual articles, were implemented on 2 July 2001.


Burkina Faso is divided into 13 administrative regions. Each region is administered by a Governor.
