Ouédraogo is the Burkina Faso representative on the Executive Committee of the Global Shea Alliance.[5] Ouédraogo is also representing the former government minister, General Djibrill Bassolé, who is suspected of leading a short-lived 2015 coup d’état, which destabilized Burkina Faso.[6] In July 2017, the legal defence team had a "major victory", after a UN working group said that the detention of the former Minister was "arbitrary and illegal".[6]
