Synopsis (short abstract) In Burkina Faso, the 2017/18 agropastoral campaign was marked by food and biomass deficits, the effects of which were exacerbated by the fragile situation in the country. Since January 2019, insecurity has continued to worsen due to recurrent attacks perpetrated by non-state armed groups, triggering massive population displacements, thus exacerbating the vulnerability of communities further resulting in increased humanitarian needs and significant challenges for the country. Thanks to funding from Sweden, FAO is supporting 18 700 households through various activities (cash-based interventions, agricultural and livestock production support) in order to meet their immediate needs, while ensuring that the root causes of their vulnerability are addressed in order to reduce dependency on food aid.

    Evaluation of the project "Emergency response and support to vulnerable populations in at-risk areas of Burkina Faso" - Phase I
    OSRO/BKF/801/SWE
    2022
    Also available in:
    The project "Emergency response and support to vulnerable populations in at-risk areas of Burkina Faso" is financed by the Swedish International Development Agency. FAO implemented the project in partnership with the Government of Burkina Faso through the Ministry for Agriculture, Hydro-agricultural Development and Mechanisation. The project seeks to improve vulnerable populations’ access to food and to means of food production. This first phase of the evaluation focused on suggesting improvements to the project over the rest of its implementation period, and more particularly improvements as pertaining to relevance, efficiency and efficacy of the project. The implementation of these recommendations should allow the project and more generally FAO, the FAO Office in Burkina Faso and the Government, to close a project that has achieved its objectives

    Au Burkina Faso, la campagne agropastorale 2017/18 a été marquée par un déficit vivrier et de biomasse dont les effets ont été exacerbés par la situation fragile dans le pays. En effet, depuis janvier 2019, l’insécurité continue de s’aggraver en raison d’attaques récurrentes perpétrées par des groupes armés non-étatiques qui engendrent des déplacements massifs de population, exacerbant ainsi la vulnérabilité des communautés et entraînant à nouveau d’immenses besoins humanitaires et des défis substantiels pour le pays. Grâce à un financement de la Suède, la FAO soutient 18 700 ménages à travers diverses activités (transferts monétaires, soutien à la production agricole et animale) afin de répondre à leurs besoins immédiats ainsi qu'aux causes finamentales de leur vulnérabilité pour réduire leur dépendance à l'aide alimentaire.

    Burkina Faso | Emergency Plan
    FAO in the 2019 humanitarian appeals
    2019
    Also available in:
    Since the beginning of 2018, the security crisis across the Sahel region has sharply deteriorated particularly in Burkina Faso. Already vulnerable to a fragile economic context and recurrent climatic shocks, the recent upsurge in violence perpetrated by armed groups has caused an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, while ongoing population displacements are intensifying inter‑communal conflict. In the medium and long terms, food insecurity is expected to worsen and pastoral and agropastoral households are likely to loose their productive assets. Where security allows, increasing resilience‑based livelihood assistance is critical to ensure that households can produce their own food and generate income. Under the updated 2019 Emergency Plan, FAO requires USD 11.6 million before December 2019 to assist 323 390 people in order to restore their livelihoods.
