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.

    FAO’s contribution strengthens resilience of vulnerable households in Burkina Faso

    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.

    Strengthening food insecurity monitoring in Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and the Niger - GCP/GLO/540/ITA

    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.
