Kaya: A training session aimed at enhancing the skills of stakeholders in the Kuils© Regional Council's expenditure chain commenced on July 14, 2025. The session focuses on the utilization of tools for the preparation of budget documents (AEDOB) and accounts (AEDOC), aiming to achieve efficient and transparent management of public resources.
According to Burkina Information Agency, the training session was inaugurated by Noufoun Ouattara, Secretary General of the Regional Council, representing the President of the Kuils© Regional Special Delegation. The training aims to acquaint financial chain actors with AEDOB and AEDOC tools to improve budgetary and accounting processes for local authorities.
Facilitated by R. Sokoba Ramd©, Director of Financial Supervision of Local Authorities, and Bal©bi© Olivier Georges Bamouni, Head of the Local Finance Analysis and Statistics Department, the training will run from July 14 to 18, 2025. Approximately thirty participants will receive instruction on the AEDOB and AEDOC tools.
In the opening speech, delivered by the Secretary General, the President of the Regional Special Delegation emphasized the innovation these tools bring to budgeting and accounting processes for local authorities. The tools are designed to enhance the management system's efficiency and transparency.
The five-day training will cover presentations on AEDOB and AEDOC tools, with practical sessions on entering administrative and management accounts. Participants will engage in communications and discussions on the budget process for local authorities in Burkina Faso, focusing on development, adoption, and approval procedures.
Despite the introduction of AEDOB and AEDOC tools in 2023, challenges persist in their effective utilization. Hence, the PDSR highlighted the importance of capacity building for resource managers to improve governance within communities.
"This training session is an opportunity to fill gaps and share good practices in financial management," noted the PDSR, urging participants to actively engage and attend regularly to maximize their learning experience.
