The Province de la Kossi lies in the western part of Burkina Faso and stretches to the border with Mali.

The capital of Kossi is the town of Nouna, which has a mayor and high commissioner.

In the early 2010s, a major road through the Kossi was paved with support from the Millennium Challenge Corporation.

The road links the major towns of Dedougou and Nouna, then continues westward to Djibasso and the border with Mali.
