Bouna (also spelled Buna) is a town in north-eastern

Bounkani Region in Zanzan District and a commune
.

fortress-style adobe
compounds in surrounding villages. Bouna is historically a Koulango village.

Bouna was formerly the centre of a "highly centralized kingdom based on military districts administered by princes" who exploited the local gold deposits;

Bighu resettled here after the collapse of that city.[5]

The town is served by its own dirt-runway airport. This bush landing strip mainly serves the United Nations.

Things are gradually returning to normal in the area. However, there is much to be done to get the region fully functional in the areas of education and health.

In 2021, the population of the sub-prefecture of Bouna was 94,883.[2]
