Centre-Sud Region, Administrative region in central Burkina Faso.

The Centre-Sud Region encompasses three provinces - Bazèga, Nahouri, and Zoundwéogo - covering 11,321 square kilometers with Manga as its capital city.

The region emerged as an administrative division in July 2001 during a national reorganization that established 13 distinct regions across Burkina Faso.

Local communities in Centre-Sud maintain traditional storytelling practices, conveying historical knowledge through gatherings where elders share tales with younger generations.

The region connects to major urban centers through a network of 423 kilometers of highways, with primary transportation methods including cars and two-wheeler vehicles.

The region features the Pic de Nahouri mountain formation and receives approximately 100 centimeters of annual rainfall, four times more than northern Burkina Faso.
