Centre-Ouest Region, Administrative region in central Burkina Faso.
The Centre-Ouest Region encompasses four provinces with Koudougou as its capital, covering extensive agricultural lands and numerous rural settlements.
The region was established through Burkina Faso's 1998 decentralization law, which granted administrative and financial autonomy to local communities.
Agricultural traditions shape daily life in Centre-Ouest, where residents maintain strong connections to farming practices, particularly in sorghum cultivation.
The main road connecting Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso passes through Centre-Ouest, with Koudougou serving as a primary transportation hub.
The region produces the highest sorghum yields in Burkina Faso, with over 206,000 hectares dedicated to this essential crop.
