History
Orange Burkina Faso was created when France's Orange group bought the local operations of India's Airtel in 2016; the network had earlier operated under the Celtel and Zain brands. Under Orange it has grown into the country's largest mobile operator.
Business model
Orange Burkina sells mobile voice and data, fixed internet including fiber, and business services, and its Orange Money platform is a major channel for transfers and payments.
Market position
Orange Burkina Faso has more than 10 million mobile customers and competes mainly with Moov Africa Burkina and Telecel Faso.
Country impact
Mobile money is central to economic life in Burkina Faso, including in rural areas, but insecurity in large parts of the country has led to attacks on telecom infrastructure and coverage gaps.
