ISO BFA
Burkina Faso has a rated national right-to-information law (adopted 2015, scored 79/150 by the RTI Rating, checked 2026-07-05), and no general right-to-service law has been found for it yet. Subdivision entries below marked “to confirm” are tasks, not facts.
Your first move, anywhere
Request legal route, responsible officer, fees, timeline, appeal route, and one high-value record: budget, contract, land, hospital stock, service standard, audit, court delay, police complaint, or procurement payment.
Convert the legal right into a citizen test: receipt, tracking number, statutory deadline, written reasons, actual record release, appeal, and proactive publication.
Capture flags to watch: Delay; discretion; opacity; fragmentation; fear; patron dependency; counterfeit transparency

Inside Burkina Faso: 58 subdivisions
Where a subdivision shows a cited law, the citation comes from the named source and the official text still needs confirming. Where it shows nothing, the national law may apply and the local rules are unconfirmed.
What to confirm at your local office, whichever subdivision you are in
- Verify statutory deadline and extension rule.
- Verify filing fee, copying fee, waiver, and electronic access rule.
- Verify internal review, independent review, judicial review, and silence-as-refusal rule.
- Verify relevant information commission, ombudsman, court, tribunal, or internal appeal body.
- Verify official web portal or responsible officer contact.
Records that should already be published: Budget; procurement; contract awards; payment status; public land; service standards; audit reports; subsidies; court/police/hospital/school records.
