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

Centre-Est Region spans 14,656 square kilometers across three provinces: Boulgou, Koulpélogo, and Kouritenga, with Tenkodogo serving as the regional capital.

The region emerged from Burkina Faso's administrative reorganization in 2001, following the country's transition from French colonial rule to an independent nation.

The region contains a population of 1.9 million people, with the Mossi and Peul communities maintaining distinct agricultural and pastoral traditions.

The regional climate follows two distinct patterns: a dry season from October to May and a wet season from June to September, determining agricultural cycles.

Centre-Est's agricultural output reaches 118,227 tonnes of sorghum and 78,512 tonnes of corn annually, making it a significant food production center.
