Bagrèze

Bagrèze is a village located in the province of Kouritenga in the Centre-East Region of Burkina Faso. It is situated approximately 75 kilometers southeast of the capital city, Ouagadougou. The village is part of the commune of Gouéli.

The area around Bagrèze is characterized by a semi-arid climate typical of the Sahelian region, with a distinct dry season and a rainy season. The local economy is primarily based on agriculture, with subsistence farming being the dominant activity. Crops commonly grown include millet, sorghum, and maize, which are essential for local food security. Livestock herding also plays a significant role in the livelihoods of many residents.

Like many rural communities in Burkina Faso, Bagrèze faces challenges related to poverty, access to education, and healthcare services. Efforts by local authorities and non-governmental organizations aim to improve infrastructure, promote sustainable agricultural practices, and enhance the overall well-being of the population. The village's proximity to larger urban centers can facilitate access to markets and services, but also presents challenges related to migration and resource management.
