The Nutrition Society of Burkina Faso (SNB) held its Ordinary General Assembly on Saturday, 27 December 2025, at Joseph KI-ZERBO University in Ouagadougou. The required quorum was largely achieved, reflecting the strong engagement of members.
The General Assembly reviewed and approved the activity and financial reports covering the period 2019–2025. Discussions also led to the adoption of significant amendments to the statutes and internal regulations, aimed at strengthening governance, transparency, and sustainability of the Society.
Key reforms included the establishment of a single five-year, non-renewable term for Executive Board members, the creation of the Network of Young Leaders for Nutrition in Burkina Faso (RJLN/BF), and the revision of annual membership fees.
The General Assembly also proceeded with the election of a new Executive Board, to be headed by Dr. Viviane Aurélie Tapsoba as President of the Nutrition Society of Burkina Faso. The new Executive Board is mandated to lead the SNB in implementing its strategic orientations and strengthening nutrition advocacy at both national and international levels.
