Burkina Faso: The Faso Food and Drug Administration (Faso FDA) Officially Establishes Its Institutional Presence
Regulatory Authority: Faso Food and Drug Administration (Faso FDA)
Burkina Faso’s new regulatory authority, the Faso Food and Drug Administration (Faso FDA), has established its official online presence through the launch of its institutional website:
Official website: https://fasofda.bf/fr/
The Faso FDA results from the merger of the Agence Nationale de Régulation Pharmaceutique (ANRP) and the Agence Nationale de Sécurité Sanitaire, Environnementale et de l’Alimentation (ANSSEAT). This institutional reform brings together regulatory responsibilities previously distributed across multiple authorities, including the oversight of medicines, food products, cosmetics, and pesticides.
The official website provides a central online point of reference for regulatory information and publications issued by the new authority.
This development follows the transitional phase previously reported by AREMA, during which the merger process led to the rescheduling of technical commission and committee meetings and the ongoing harmonization of regulatory procedures.
Regulatory relevance: The establishment of the Faso FDA’s official website marks a further step in the institutional transition. Regulatory professionals and companies operating in Burkina Faso should consult the new authority’s official channels for updates concerning regulatory procedures, technical committees, and applicable requirements.
