UAS Regulations

The ANAC of Burkina Faso website was checked extensively on May 2020 and no UAS (drone) regulations or guidance could be found. However a report from 6 May 2019 states that Burkina Faso has a decree that governs the use of drones in Burkina Faso.

A release summary is provided by the Africa Goes Digital Platform.
