The District, therefore, serves as the National Gate way to Burkina Faso. The capital of the district is Lambusie. Other major towns in Lambusie district include Hamile, Samoa, Billaw, Piina and Karni. The location of the District is strategic as its proximity to Burkina Faso could enhance cross border trade and other mutual relationships in terms of exchange of ideas for the development of the District. However, it also poses a tendency of influx of foreigners, including Fulani herdsmen, spread of diseases, and cross boarder crime. POPULATION STRUCTURE According to the 2010 Population and Housing Census, the District has a population of 51,654, constituting 24, 952 males (48.3%) and 26,702 females (51.7%). However, with a growth rate of 1.7, the population is projected to about 64,079 in 2020, constituting 31,525(49.2%) males and 32,554(50.8%) females. The population of the District is basically rural without some basic amenities like electricity and telephone services. Rural-Urban migration is therefore common in the District especially during the dry season as majority of the people become unemployed after harvest. Even though the youthful population is the largest age group (50.5%), the district has a very significant population of children (43%). This composition of the population therefore requires efforts to create employment opportunities for the 2020 Composite Budget - Lambussie District 2020 Composite Budget - Lambussie District 3 4 youth and provide more schools, play grounds, and other child development e.
