Burkina Faso has experienced significant political instability following two military coups in 2022, severely restricting civic space. Civil society organisations, media, and international NGOs face suspension and expulsion in the context of an ongoing security crisis in the Sahel. The ‘Repressed’ CIVICUS rating reflects acute challenges facing civil society in this conflict-affected context.
