The PBC urged international and regional partners to reinforce their support to efforts aimed at combating violent extremism, which leads to terrorism and insecurity, and at restoring social cohesion and stability in the country. The PBC welcomed on-going support by the Peacebuilding Fund (PBF) to Burkina Faso in its peacebuilding efforts in-country and at cross-border levels. 

 
4.     The PBC expressed its commitment, within its mandate, to accompanying Burkina Faso in its peacebuilding efforts, including dialogue, social cohesion, national reconciliation, and called on partners to sustain much needed support to Burkina Faso during and after the transition.
