SIAO 2024: A positive outcome for the 17th edition

From October 25 to November 3, 2024, the International Craft Fair of Ouagadougou (SIAO) welcomed over 350,000 visitors and nearly 500 exhibitors from across Africa. This edition highlighted African artisanal expertise, creating significant business opportunities. Despite Burkina Faso’s challenging political and security context, the event’s success reflects the resilience and dedication of its organizers and participants.
