Following the coup, Sankara, then 33, became the President of the Republic of Upper Volta and launched an unprecedented series of social, ecological, and economic reforms that were part of what he referred to as the people's democratic revolution. In 1984, Sankara oversaw the renaming of the country as Burkina Faso ('land of the upright people'), and personally wrote its national anthem.[3][4] His foreign policy centered on anti-imperialism and self-sufficiency[5], and he rejected loans and capital from such organizations as the International Monetary Fund. However, he welcomed some foreign aid in an effort to boost the domestic economy and diversify sources of assistance.[5]
His domestic policies included famine prevention, agrarian expansion, land reform, and suspending rural poll taxes, as well as a nationwide literacy campaign and vaccination program to reduce meningitis, yellow fever and measles. Sankara's health programmes distributed millions of doses of vaccines to children across Burkina Faso.[6][7][8] His government also focused on building schools, health centres, water reservoirs, and infrastructure projects.[1][9]
In terms of trade policy, Sankara favoured autarky, banning several items from being imported into Burkina Faso and encouraging import substitution industrialization. One example of this was cotton, where domestically produced fabric quickly came to be used exclusively. He also adopted this approach in relation to food crops, exhorting Burkinabes to consume locally grown food instead of rice and grain imported from Europe.[44]
