Synopsis (short abstract) Burkina Faso is committed to delivering under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF), but it is hindered by organizational and technical constraints. Thanks to a successful strategy of coordination between state actors and international agencies, FAO has recently boosted the country’s technical capacities on the national GHG inventory to respond effectively to the requirements of the ETF, a process that can inspire other countries to walk a similar path in preparation for the first Biennial Transparency Report (BTR).

    Having submitted its Fourth National Communication and its second Biennial Update Report (BUR), Togo is committed to delivering under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) and intends to meet the 2024 deadline to prepare its first Biennial Transparency Report (BTR). However, lack of solid institutional arrangements, data and knowledge of ETF core requirements currently affect the country’s ability to prepare timely and quality national greenhouse gas inventories ( GHGIs). In order to tackle some of these bottlenecks and support countries to meet UNFCCC requirements under the ETF, FAO recently strengthened national capacities through a dedicated training programme on quality assurance/quality control of the GHGIs.

    The Sahel region is experiencing a food crisis, with 38.3 million people projected to be in acute food insecurity during this year’s lean season (June–August 2022) – a fourfold increase compared with 2019 – and millions more at risk of slipping into a crisis situation or worse. The effects of climate change in the region are worsening irregular rainfall and climatic shocks such as floods. Both Burkina Faso and the Niger are especially vulnerable to flood risk. Thanks to the contribution of the Swedish International Development Agency (Sida) to the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA) – Anticipatory Action window, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is acting early in flood-prone areas in the Sahel through cash assistance, capacity building and veterinary support to protect the assets and livelihoods of vulnerable pastoralists.
