ASMADE is a Burkina Faso association. It was created in 1994 by a group of development agents to help improve the living and working conditions of people in Burkina Faso.

Through its philosophy and intervention approach, ASMADE has chosen to bring its expertise and support to the populations to identify their problems and to reflect with them on the actions and strategies of implementation taking into account the own resources and the external input necessary for the implementation of the said actions.
Since its creation, ASMADE has been consolidating its credit in the national institutional landscape as a structure acting to promote access to basic social services (Education, Health, Food) for disadvantaged populations. It stands out in its actions of health promotion, social protection, support to the empowerment of individuals and groups.

It uses tools and strategies that emphasize participatory approaches and considers gender as a lever for development.
