Selected Achievements
Jhpiego piloted and introduced cervical cancer prevention services at more than 20 health facilities, integrating these services into other care and adopting the latest screening and treatment technologies. As part of project implementation research, 100% of women received HPV test results, with 17% of women in the general population testing positive compared to 31% of women living with HIV.
In 2023, Jhpiego activities contributed to a decrease in the incidence of uncomplicated malaria cases by 15% and severe malaria cases by more than 20%. The number of deaths among children under five also decreased by 20% compared to 2022.
As a result of Jhpiego’s research, the Ministry of Health introduced HPV testing in health facilities, along with management of precancerous lesions through thermocoagulation, which they will continue to use at all project intervention sites.
As part of the Enhancing Global Health Security project, Jhpiego provided intensive support to the Ministry of Health during a dengue epidemic, including drafting guidelines on how to manage severe cases and training health workers in their application.

The Government of Burkina Faso Honors Jhpiego for Longstanding Health Partnership
On December 19, 2025, during Burkina Faso’s Independence Day celebrations, Jhpiego Burkina Faso was awarded the Chevalier de l’Ordre de l’Étalon, one of the country’s highest national honors. The distinction, conferred by the Government of Burkina Faso, recognizes Jhpiego’s nearly 30 years of contribution to improving the health of communities, with a strong focus on women and children.
Since establishing its presence in Burkina Faso in 1996, Jhpiego has worked in close partnership with the Ministry of Health and local communities to strengthen health systems, introduce innovative and evidence-based solutions, and support national public health priorities. These efforts have contributed to measurable, life-saving results and long-term system resilience.
The award was received on behalf of Jhpiego by Dr. Jérémie Zoungrana, Country Director, who emphasized that the honor reflects the collective efforts of government counterparts, partners, and communities. He noted that the recognition serves as a renewed motivation to deepen collaboration, promote innovation, and continue supporting Burkina Faso’s journey toward a resilient and equitable health system.
This national recognition underscores Jhpiego’s longstanding commitment to partnership, capacity building, and sustainable impact in Burkina Faso—and reinforces the organization’s resolve to continue advancing quality health care for all.
