Synopsis (short abstract) While Burkina Faso is a transit country of migratory movements northwards, with mixed flows of economic migrants and refugees, it is also now facing internal displacement. This is due to a deterioration in the security situation in late 2018/early 2019 following an upsurge in violence by non‑identified armed groups and increased inter-communal conflict, particularly in the Sahel, Centre-North, North and East regions, causing an unprecedented humanitarian crisis. In a context where needs are chronically high, the situation is compounded by high levels of food insecurity and malnutrition. As about 80 percent of the country’s population relies on crop and livestock production for their livelihoods, it is critical to ensure agricultural support to help vulnerable families produce their own food and generate income.

    Burkina Faso | Response overview October 2019 2019

    Due to increased violence in Burkina Faso, agricultural activities have declined by 20 to 70 percent in crisis-affected areas where half of the land may not be cultivated compared to the 2017/18 agricultural season. The off-season, which begins in the coming weeks, represents an opportunity to significantly increase the food production of vulnerable families and promote their autonomy in order to avoid reliance on humanitarian assistance. FAO requires USD 11.6 million by December 2019 to assist 323 385 people through agricultural and livestock production during the off-season, allowing them not only to maintain their food stocks, but also to produce seeds to prepare for the next rainy season.
