Economy and Infrastructure

Agropastoralism is practiced in Issawane . Agriculture is impaired by the lack of fallow periods , soil depletion and unsafe rainfall. Livestock farming suffers from insufficient grazing land and a lack of supplementary feed . There is no road network, which adds to the remoteness of the rural community. The only health center in the main town is small and outdated. There are 17 primary schools in Issawane, although in some villages only a few children, especially a few girls, attend school regularly.
