Also available in:
El objetivo general del programa era garantizar la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional sostenible de las poblaciones más desfavorecidas de Burkina Faso, reforzando al mismo tiempo la gobernanza institucional y política de la seguridad alimentaria. La Encuesta Nacional Nutricional (Encuesta estandarizada de seguimiento y evaluación de las fases de socorro y transición [SMART] de 2012) indicó la persistencia de una prevalencia preocupante de la malnutrición aguda en las regiones Norte, Centro-Norte y Sahel. La finalidad del Componente 1 era mejorar los ingresos, la disponibilidad de alimentos y el acceso a ellos de las poblaciones rurales pobres (sobre todo mujeres y jóvenes vulnerables) de esas regiones. -

No results found.FAO INFO est un bulletin trimestriel d’informations générales sur les activités de la FAO au Burkina Faso. C’est un bulletin qui récapitule au cours du trimestre, toutes activités phares menées par la FAO en appui au Gouvernement du Burkina Faso dans le secteur agro-sylvo-pastoral à travers les différents projets et programmes misent en œuvre. On y trouve des articles sur des ateliers nationaux, sous-régionaux et régionaux, également des articles sur les activités terrain à savoir des visite terrain des partenaires techniques et financiers mais surtout des articles sur de success stories. En effet ce bulletin se veut aussi une vitrine pour la diffusion des bonnes pratiques enseignées aux bénéficiaires sur le terrain afin qu’ils puissent s’adapter aux effets des changements climatiques et ainsi, devenir résilients. Il permet aussi de partager les leçons apprises au cours de la mise en œuvre des différents projets et programmes afin que cela puissent faire tâche d’huile. Enfin, ce bulletin se veut un trait d’union entre le Gouvernement, le grand public, les bénéficiaires et la FAO AU Burkina Faso à travers le reportage des grands événements survenus dans la vie de l’institution tels que :la signature du CPP avec le Gouvernement, document de coopération qui souligne les grands axes d’intervention de la FAO au Burkina, la Journée mondiale de l’alimentation . A côté de ces grands événements, ce bulletin relate le quotidien de l’équipe de la FAO au Burkina Faso à travers des événements heureux mais aussi des départs à la retraite. -
DocumentOther documentInternational Price Shocks and Technological Changes for Poverty Reduction in Burkina Faso. A General Equilibrium Approach 2009After sketching the mutual links between economic growth, agriculture, technology, poverty reduction and external factors; this paper analyses the implications of recent international price shocks on welfare and growth, notably energy and agricultural products, for Burkina Faso, a less industrialised, low-income, food-deficit, net oil-importing country. The socio-economic impacts of the above-mentioned external shocks are analysed by means of a Computable General Equilibrium model (CGE).The pape r also discusses the extent to which technological changes in agriculture, specifically the introduction of “Good Agricultural Practices” (GAP) towards “conservation agriculture”, could mitigate the welfare and growth losses derived by international price shocks. The results of the analysis show that oil price hikes in recent years had much greater impacts on the welfare of the poorer layers of the population than other price shifts, such as international food prices. Additionally, it is shown t hat the technological changes explored in this paper, in spite of their significant impacts on agricultural productivity, by no means countervail the negative welfare and growth losses brought by international price shocks. The energy dependency is a channel that systematically siphons out domestic resources, seriously hampering domestic primary capital accumulation and related endogenous-growth potential. Policy implications for poverty reduction and food security are that in Burkina Faso, ther e is an urgent focus on energy issues by all means, including the adoption of appropriate agricultural technologies. These findings are likely to apply to other less-industrialised energy-importing countries with similar socio-economic structure.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2023
Urbanization, agrifood systems transformation and healthy diets across the rural–urban continuum
2023This report provides an update on global progress towards the targets of ending hunger (SDG Target 2.1) and all forms of malnutrition (SDG Target 2.2) and estimates on the number of people who are unable to afford a healthy diet. Since its 2017 edition, this report has repeatedly highlighted that the intensification and interaction of conflict, climate extremes and economic slowdowns and downturns, combined with highly unaffordable nutritious foods and growing inequality, are pushing us off track to meet the SDG 2 targets. However, other important megatrends must also be factored into the analysis to fully understand the challenges and opportunities for meeting the SDG 2 targets. One such megatrend, and the focus of this year’s report, is urbanization. New evidence shows that food purchases in some countries are no longer high only among urban households but also among rural households. Consumption of highly processed foods is also increasing in peri-urban and rural areas of some countries. These changes are affecting people’s food security and nutrition in ways that differ depending on where they live across the rural–urban continuum. This timely and relevant theme is aligned with the United Nations General Assembly-endorsed New Urban Agenda, and the report provides recommendations on the policies, investments and actions needed to address the challenges of agrifood systems transformation under urbanization and to enable opportunities for ensuring access to affordable healthy diets for everyone. -
Book (series)FlagshipRegional Overview of Food Security and Nutrition – Latin America and the Caribbean 2022
Towards improving affordability of healthy diets
2023Also available in:
Regional Overview present the regional food security and nutrition situation, including trends of undernourishment, food insecurity and all forms of malnutrition, together with other indicators that could help the understanding of the causes of hunger and malnutrition. This edition offers a regional overview of the socioeconomic state of the region; national and regional data and trends regarding the costs and affordability of healthy diets; the possible drivers behind the high cost of healthy diets and their unaffordability; and introduces policies and investments around the region that aim to reduce the cost of nutritious foods and improve the affordability of healthy diets. -
Book (series)Technical studyThe impact of climate variability and extremes on agriculture and food security - An analysis of the evidence and case studies
Background paper for The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018
2020Also available in:
No results found.Global climate studies show that not only temperatures are increasing and precipitation levels are becoming more varied, all projections indicate these trends will continue. It is therefore imperative that we understand changes in climate over agricultural areas and their impacts on agriculture production and food security. This study presents new analysis on the impact of changing climate on agriculture and food security, by examining the evidence on recent climate variability and extremes over agricultural areas and the impact of these on agriculture and food security. It shows that more countries are exposed to increasing climate variability and extremes and the frequency (the number of years exposed in a five-year period) and intensity (the number of types of climate extremes in a five-year period) of exposure over agricultural areas have increased. The findings of this study are compelling and bring urgency to the fact that climate variability and extremes are proliferating and intensifying and are contributing to a rise in global hunger. The world’s 2.5 billion small-scale farmers, herders, fishers, and forest-dependent people, who derive their food and income from renewable natural resources, are most at risk and affected. Actions to strengthen the resilience of livelihoods and food systems to climate variability and extremes urgently need to be scaled up and accelerated.
