Introduction to Manga, Burkina Faso
Manga is a city in the south-central center of the landlocked West African country of Burkina Faso, part of the Zoundoma province of the Middle East region. The city is located about 150 kilometers southeast of the capital city of Ouagadougou, and is situated in the Sudano-Sahelian climatic zone, with a predominantly savannah landscape and distinct dry and rainy seasons.
Demographic and economic characteristics
Manga has a population of about 40,000 (2020 estimate), mainly Mosi and Fulani inhabitants. The economy is based on agriculture, mainly growing crops such as sorghum, millet and maize, with active livestock (cattle and sheep) farming around the area. In recent years small handicrafts and market trade have gradually developed, becoming a regional distribution center for agricultural products.
Transportation and Infrastructure
Manga is connected to Ouagadougou and neighboring Ghana by the RN5 highway, and is one of the transportation nodes in the south of Burkina Faso. The city has a basic health center, a secondary school and a weekly open-air market, but electricity and water supply facilities remain to be improved.
Cultural and Regional Characteristics
As part of the traditional Mossi cultural region, Manga retains a wealth of oral traditions and folklore. An annual harvest celebration at the end of the rainy season attracts villagers from the surrounding area and showcases local traditions of music, dance and handicrafts. Typical Sudanese adobe buildings are scattered around the city.
