Product type Project

Synopsis (short abstract) Land degradation in the Boucle du Mouhoun region has accelerated in recent decades, with clear repercussions on agricultural productivity. The development of agrosilvipastoral activities is also hampered by land insecurity, poor water management and use practices, difficulties accessing land, especially for women and youth, the poor quality of inputs (seeds and chemical fertilizers), and the lack of processing facilities for agricultural products. The project aimed to strengthen the adoption of good practices for climate change adaptation and mitigation in the agrosilvipastoral sector, while supporting good environmental governance and sustainable land management in the Boucle du Mouhoun region.

    Supporting the Resilience of Vulnerable Rural Households in Burkina Faso - GCP/BKF/070/SWE 2025
    Also available in:
    Burkina Faso has seen a sharp deterioration in its security, political, institutional and health situation, resulting in a continuing, extreme worsening of food and nutrition security since 2015. Rural areas, where agriculture, livestock-breeding and forest-, wildlife- and fishery-resource harvesting employ around 90 percent of the active population and are the only source of livelihoods, have been hit the hardest. The project aimed to bring about positive, sustainable and equitable change, improving the living conditions and the food and nutrition security of pastoralists and agropastoralists in the Sahel, North, Centre-North and Boucle du Mouhoun regions, by promoting a peaceful environment and social cohesion. The adoption of good practices in natural resource use and sustainable management, the continuous improvement of agropastoral productivity by following a value chain approach, as well as the promotion of peace/social cohesion and sound nutrition practices were expected to strengthen communities’ resilience and reduce poverty.

    A recent evaluation has shown that FAO helped the Government and the people of Burkina Faso strengthen the resilience of vulnerable households, nutrition-sensitive agriculture, climate change adaptation, water management, seed and non-wood forestry production, and food security policy development. At the same time, FAO needs to support the Government in mobilising resources for implementing these policies and strengthening capacities of national partners particularly at the decentralized level.

    Renforcement de la résilience des ménages agro-sylvo-pastoraux dans la Boucle du Mouhoun au Burkina Faso - GCP/BKF/061/CAN 2024
    Also available in:
    La dégradation des terres dans la région de la Boucle du Mouhoun s’est accélérée ces dernières décennies, avec des répercussions évidentes sur la productivité agricole. Le développement des activités agro-sylvo-pastorales est par ailleurs freiné par l’insécurité foncière, la faible maîtrise de l’eau et de son exploitation, les difficultés d’accès à la terre notamment pour les femmes et les jeunes, la mauvaise qualité des intrants (semences et engrais chimiques), l’insuffisance d’unités de transformation des produits agricoles. Le projet visait à renforcer l’adoption de bonnes pratiques d’adaptation au changement climatique et de mitigation de ses effets dans le secteur agro-sylvo-pastoral, tout en soutenant la bonne gouvernance environnementale et la gestion durable des terres dans la région de la Boucle du Mouhoun.
