VISION
ABF aspire à être un acteur de référence du développement communautaire durable au Burkina Faso et en Afrique de l’Ouest francophone en favorisant l’autonomisation des communautés à travers des initiatives inclusives, participatives et résilientes.
MISSION
ABF accompagne les communautés et les organisations à base communautaire dans le renforcement de leurs capacités techniques, organisationnelles et stratégiques afin de concevoir, mobiliser des ressources, mettre en œuvre et pérenniser des projets de développement endogène, socialement justes et adaptés aux contextes locaux.
STRATEGY
Strengthen the skills of CBAs with technical support and monitoring of the learning process. Raise awareness on the importance of local resource mobilisation and financial independence to promote endogenous development.
NOTRE HISTOIRE
Once upon a time, in Burkina Faso, there was a group of people who cared about the future of their country. They knew that NGOs and associations played a crucial role in the development of their community. They had noticed that these organisations often lacked the financial resources and technical support to implement their programmes on the ground. This prevented them from having a significant and lasting impact on people's lives.
This is how the Association Burkinabè de Fundraising (ABF), a non-political and non-profit association, was created on 23 December 2008 in Ouagadougou. The objective of the ABF was clear: Work in capacity building of community-based associations committed to endogenous development so that they can implement concrete projects on the ground.
A partner in endogenous development
Since its creation, ABF has grown and succeeded in accompanying several community-based associations throughout the country. It has also organised training to build the capacity of local actors and has helped to create strong partnerships between different organisations.
Thanks to its hard work and commitment to sustainable development, the ABF was officially recognised on 22 May 2009, strengthening its credibility and visibility among local and international stakeholders.
Today, ABF continues to support NGOs and associations so that they can play a dynamic role in building an emerging Burkina Faso. It has become a reference in the field of fundraising and continues to inspire many civil society actors throughout the country. Thanks to her work, many communities have benefited from concrete projects that have improved their quality of life and well-being.

LES PROGRAMMES MIEN EN OEUVRE
Change the Game Academy
Change the Game Academy
The Change the Game Academy aims to change the 'rules' of the development game: to transfer power to communities and enable them to shape their own futures. Many civil society organisations in the South are dependent on foreign funding to do their work, which makes them vulnerable and at risk of working under the thumb of donors. Change the Game Academy aims to end this dependency by supporting self-sustaining local organisations to build their fundraising capacity.
