Kossi Province

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Location of Kossi Province in Burkina Faso

The Province de la Kossi lies in the western part of Burkina Faso and stretches to the border with Mali. The capital of Kossi is the town of Nouna, which has a mayor and high commissioner. The next largest town in Kossi is Djibasso, the last major town on the road from Nouna that heads west into Mali.

Kossi is among the less developed provinces of Burkina Faso. Kossi has no paved roads and so, despite its access to Mali, is less traversed than provinces to the north and south that boast paved roads across the border.
