Réseau des Caisses Populaires du Burkina Faso (RCPB)

The Umbrella Organization of the Credit Unions of Burkina Faso

The Faîtière (former Federation) of Caisses Populaires du Burkina, officially created in June 1998, now brings together 35 caisses populaires and 5 regional delegations.
Following the RCPB reconfiguration process, the FCPB obtained its new approval on June 19, 2013; which officially marks the transition of the RCPB from three to two levels: the caisses populaires (CP) and the umbrella organization born from the grouping of caisses populaires at the national level. As of December 31, 2023, the FCPB had 35 affiliated caisses, 455 managers and 1,233 employees.
Ms. Azaratou SONDO/NIGNAN is the General Manager and Mr. Saibou NASSOURI, the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
The network’s main orientations are discussed at the FCPB level. Also, it mainly plays a role in coordinating the activities of the regional delegations. The main functions of the FCPB are:

Provide technical assistance in terms of organization, accounting, training and education
Exercise administrative and financial control over its members
Ensure the development of the network by promoting the creation of CPs, business units, etc.
Represent members at the national and international level
