Centre-Nord Region, Administrative region in central northern Burkina Faso.
The Centre-Nord region spans across three provinces - Bam, Namentenga, and Sanmatenga - with the city of Kaya serving as its administrative center.
The region was officially established on July 2, 2001, as part of a larger administrative reorganization that created thirteen distinct regions in Burkina Faso.
Local communities maintain their traditional ceremonies through music performances, storytelling sessions, and provincial gatherings that reflect different ethnic influences.
