Endeavour (Burkina Faso) provided strong leadership at the fifth edition of the National Forum on Local Content (FONACOL), held in Bobo-Dioulasso from 26 to 27 May 2025.
This annual B2B event, hosted in the country’s economic capital, brought together industry leaders, government representatives, and local businesses to advance the local content agenda in Burkina Faso.
Led by Souleymane Boly, Vice President of Public Affairs, representatives from our Houndé and Mana mines shared evidence based insights highlighting Endeavour’s commitment to supporting local businesses.
They outlined Endeavour's strategy to build local capacity, improve access to finance, and foster inclusive partnerships, reaffirming Endeavour’s efforts to be a regional leader in local content across West Africa.
Their presentations were complemented by testimonies from partners and suppliers, who travelled from their communities to share first-hand examples of the mutual benefits of working alongside our operations, highlighting Endeavour’s commitment to maximising socio-economic benefits in our host countries and our contributions to national development goals.
