Under the 17 regions of Burkina Faso sit 47 provinces, from Kadiogo, which is the capital and little else, to Comoé, a savanna province in the south west larger than Northern Ireland. This is the full list, grouped by the region each one belongs to.
The provinces of Burkina Faso, the second tier of the country. Most are named for their chief town or for a river, and most lie wholly inside one region.
The 2025 reform redrew the regions above them and changed some of the provinces. The old Soum is now two, Djelgodji and Karo-Peli, the old Tapoa is Dyamongou and Gobnangou, and a few were renamed: Kossi is Kossin, Oubritenga is Bassitenga, and the map draws Sanmatenga as Sandbondtenga. The file used here has the new list, where older sources still have the old one.
Provinces are small beside the regions, but not tiny: the smallest, Kourwéogo, is still about 40 kilometres across, so the game gives none of them a tap area.
The groups are the regions, so the game lets you drill them one at a time. Each region answers under the same name in Burkina Faso Regions.
Comoé is the largest province, the whole south west corner of the country, along the Ivorian border.
Kourwéogo is the smallest province, just north west of the capital.
Sandbondtenga is the province older maps call Sanmatenga, in the centre north of the country.
47 on this map, in 17 regions.
That is how the 2025 boundary file names the province that older maps call Sanmatenga.
Yes, the way they are written locally, so Balé, Séno and Zoundwéogo carry theirs.
The tier above this one is Burkina Faso Regions. For another country at this level, see Madagascar Districts.
