Yaho is a department in the Balé Province in southern Burkina Faso.

Yaho is a rural commune consisting of 10 villages and the area is approximately 400 km2.

The mayor of Yaho Commune since 2006 is Zounkata Tuina, an architect educated in Chalmers University of Technology at Gothenburg, Sweden.

Currently, the Yaho population is working to meet the UN Millennium Development Goals, (MDGs).

One project the people hope to initiate in the near future is a dam on a river along the western border, which could provide the region with irrigation to large farming areas and a big lake with fish.
