The Burkina Faso Credit Union Network (RCPB) was established in 1972. Through its projects and programs, and with the support of its partners, the RCPB has gained recognition and contributed to the well-being of its members. Over the years, this decentralized financial institution has successfully established itself in all 45 provinces of Burkina Faso.

To mark its fiftieth anniversary, we have prepared a summary document on the history of the RCPB. It provides an opportunity to reflect on 50 years of service to grassroots development.

We invite you to discover or rediscover the key milestones in the creation, operation, evolution, and achievements of the Burkina Faso Credit Union Network.

Presented in a magazine format, this document aims to promote the efforts of over a thousand men and women who, through their dedication, have positively impacted the decentralized finance sector in Burkina Faso and the sub-region. This publication introduces the Burkina Faso Credit Union Network (RCPB) to the public, highlighting its key achievements. For those who have worked at the RCPB and those still working there, the book showcases their daily sacrifices made to achieve its assigned objectives.
For partners, it offers recognition of an organization that has benefited from their support, enabling it to flourish and become a model in its sector.

We hope you enjoy reading it. (RCPB 50th Anniversary Magazine)
