A world where development initiatives affect all levels of the population and where ABCs play their full role with the active and conscious participation of all social strata.
MISSION
Accompany Civil Society Organisations in their activities for endogenous community development, especially in mobilising support and resources,
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.
History
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.
A partner in endogenous development
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.

Together with three (3) national and eight (8) regional partners, ABF implements the programme in six (6) regions: North, Centre-North, East, Centre-East, Boucle du Mouhoun and Sahel.
This programme aims to achieve a significant and positive impact on a fair and just society where civic space is open and all citizens freely express their views and opinions, organise themselves and exercise their rights.
The central strategy is to consolidate the collective and specific professional skills of local civil society associations in mobilising support and resources from grassroots communities for endogenous development. To date, 8 ABF coach trainers and 16 certified trainers are working to equip and accompany 41 CSOs in the 6 pilot regions.
