Synopsis (short abstract) In Burkina Faso, the exacerbation of conflicts over natural resources and the rapid development of insecurity are sources of major concern for both the public authorities and the populations. The report features the main findings of the conflict analysis that was carried out to: (i) take stock of conflicts over natural resources and other conflicts in rural areas; (ii) identify initiatives for conflict prevention and management; and (iii) formulate proposals to improve the effectiveness of conflict prevention and management mechanisms. The conflict analysis is one of the main activities implemented under the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) project “Strengthening the resilience of cross-border pastoral and agropastoral populations in priority areas in the Sahel”, which is funded through the FAO-European Union Partnership Programme under the Global Network Against Food Crises (GNAFC).

    Mali – Analysis of conflicts over natural resources
    Summary
    2021
    Also available in:
    Due to the economic dominance of the agriculture sector, Mali is extremely dependent on natural resources and also vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change. The deterioration of ecosystems has strongly affected rural populations, resulting in a very poor performance in environmental governance. Gender inequalities are also present at all social levels and help create or exacerbate tensions between different social groups. In addition to the social tensions, the security situation in Mali is precarious due to the presence of non-state armed groups. The conflict analysis was carried out to take stock of the current situation regarding conflicts over natural resources and identify initiatives for conflict prevention and management in the areas covered by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) project “Strengthening the resilience of cross-border pastoral and agropastoral populations in priority areas of the Sahel”, which is funded through the FAO-European Union Partnership Programme under the Global Network Against Food Crises (GNAFC).

    Burkina Faso – Analyse des conflits liés à l’exploitation des ressources naturelles
    Note de synthèse
    2021
    Also available in:
    Au Burkina Faso, l’exacerbation des conflits liés aux ressources naturelles et la dégradation rapide de l’insécurité constituent une source de préoccupation majeure, à la fois pour les pouvoirs publics et pour les populations. De manière générale, l’objectif de la présente note de synthèse consiste à: (i) dresser l’inventaire des conflits liés aux ressources naturelles et des autres conflits dans l’espace rural; (ii) identifier des initiatives en matière de prévention et de gestion des conflits; et (iii) formuler des propositions pour améliorer l’efficacité des mécanismes de prévention et de gestion des conflits. L'analyse des conflits est l'une des principales activités mises en œuvre dans le cadre du projet de l'Organisation des Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (FAO) intitulé «Renforcer la résilience des populations pastorales et agropastorales transfrontalières dans les zones prioritaires du Sahel» financé par le programme de partenariat FAO-Union européenne du Réseau mondial contre les crises alimentaires (GNAFC).
