The Global Observatory for Physical Activity (GoPA!) and Global Observatory for Physical Education (GoPE!) 2025 Country Cards /Results from Burkina Faso’s 2025 GoPA! Country Card
Amidou Sawadogo, Brahima Ouedraogo, Juliana Mejía-Grueso, Andrea Ramírez Varela
Background: Burkina Faso faces a growing burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), which account for 45.5% of all deaths. Physical inactivity is recognized as a major and modifiable risk factor for these diseases. Promoting physical activity has therefore become a public health imperative. The efforts of the Global Observatory for Physical Ac(...)
