Synopsis (short abstract) Burkina Faso and FAO have partnered since the country joined the Organization in the early 1960s. The partnership was consolidated with the establishment of an FAO Representation in 1978, and has focused above all on food and nutrition security, mainly through the provision of technical advice for the development and strengthening of national policies and capacities. FAO’s cooperation with Burkina Faso also features resource mobilization for interventions aimed at reducing poverty and building resilient livelihoods

    52 Profiles on Agroecology: Impact of agroecological techniques on soil fertility and productivity of sorghum and pearl millet in Burkina Faso 2017
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Burkina Faso is a landlocked country in the Sahel whose economy is highly dominated by agriculture and livestock husbandry, with more than 70% of the population living in rural areas. The prevailing farming system is smallholder agriculture based on cereal production, especially sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) and pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) which form the staple diet for the population. The two crops occupy almost 2.9 million hectares of land, however, production is constantly ch allenged by climate hazards, inefficient farming practices, and declining soil fertility. To address these concerns, several agroecological techniques have been developed and promoted among farmers by the project “Farmer led agro-ecological intensification in Burkina Faso”. The project is financed by the Collaborative Crop Research Program (CCRP) of the McKnight Foundation.

    La collaboration entre la FAO et le Burkina Faso a débuté en 1961 avec l’adhésion du pays à l’Organisation. Celle-ci s’est consolidée avec l’ouverture, en 1978, de la Représentation de la FAO et est axée sur la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle à travers un appui technique fourni au Gouvernement pour l’élaboration des politiques de développement et le renforcement des capacités nationales. L’appui à la mobilisation des ressources pour des projets visant à la réduction de la pauvreté et le renforcement de la résilience des populations s’inscrit également dans le cadre de cette coopération.

    Strengthening food insecurity monitoring in Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and the Niger - GCP/GLO/540/ITA
    2018
    Also available in:
    More than 20 million people in the Sahel Region suffer from food insecurity. Without knowledge and data to understand the current situation, interventions are difficult to design and risk being ineffective. In recent years, the proliferation of food security indicators has created further challenges and, as a result, policymakers and development partners struggle to adequately target where and how to intervene. Therefore, this project aimed to improve food security monitoring by training staff within national institutions in Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and the Niger to derive and analyse food security indicators using household food consumption survey data and increase the effectiveness of policies to reduce food insecurity.
