Taparko is a locality located in the Yalgo department of the Namentenga province in the Centre-Nord region of Burkina Faso.

Geography

Taparko is located about 12 km southwest of the center of Yalgo, the capital of the department. The commune is at the junction of National Road 3 and the end of National Road 18 going from Taparko to Manni then Bogandé and Fada N'Gourma.

Economy

The economy of Taparko, historically agro-pastoral, was profoundly changed with the opening in 2008 of the open-pit gold mine operated by the Russian company Nordgold[2][3][4]– with however insufficient benefits for the village population, particularly in terms of jobs[5] – but whose production has been tending towards the end since 2019.[6]

Education and health

Taparko hosts a health and social promotion center (CSPS) while the medical center (CM) is in Tougouri and the medical center with surgical antenna (CMA) of the province is in Boulsa.[7][circular reference]
