The association

Consumers, for consumers.

Founded in Ouagadougou by users tired of having no recourse, Consom'Action is an independent, non-profit association that informs, supports and represents consumers in Burkina Faso.

Who we are

A grassroots association

Consom'Action brings together women and men from all walks of life: market traders, teachers, students, civil servants, retirees. We share one conviction: an informed and organised consumer is a respected consumer.

We hold help desks in markets, receive complaints, carry out price surveys and engage with businesses and regulatory authorities. Our independence rests on our members' subscriptions and on a charter that rules out any funding in exchange for a favourable opinion.

Our missions

Four ways to defend yourself

  1. Inform

    Practical guides, price surveys and bill breakdowns so you know your rights before you buy or pay.

  2. Support

    Listening, guidance and mediation when you face a dispute with a trader, an operator or a public service.

  3. Measure

    With Consomètre, we gather consumers' experience and publish verifiable data, together with its methodology.

  4. Represent

    We carry consumers' voice to ministries, regulators (ARCEP, ARSE) and businesses.
