Selon les estimations du recensement général de la population et de l’Habitat (RGPH, 2006), le nombre de personnes en situation de handicap au Burkina Faso en 2012 est estimé à environ 168 000, soit 1,2% de la population totale. La Fédération burkinabè des associations pour la promotion des... personnes handicapées (FEBAH) évalue à 66% le nombre de personnes en situation de handicap n’ayant aucun niveau d’instruction et seulement 16,5% ayant atteint le niveau primaire. Ces estimations contrastent avec celles de l’OMS et de la Banque mondiale (15% de la population mondiale sont en situation de handicap).
