Synopsis (short abstract) Burkina Faso is facing a complex crisis due to armed group activity, inter-community tensions, natural disasters and the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). This results in significant population displacements, disruption of livelihoods, high acute food insecurity and malnutrition, and increased dependency on humanitarian aid for the most vulnerable households. With the exponential increase of displaced people, providing emergency agricultural assistance to both host communities and displaced families is key to protect their livelihoods, allow them to produce their own food and enhance social cohesion.

    The humanitarian crisis in Northern Mozambique has rapidly escalated, leaving an estimated 1.3 million people in need of urgent humanitarian assistance and protection in 2021. The main shocks leading to the deteriorating humanitarian and food security situation are armed conflict, natural hazards and the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on economic activity in the region. These shocks have disrupted the agricultural livelihoods of vulnerable people in Cabo Delgado, Nampula and Niassa and heightened food insecurity. Providing timely support along the seasonal calendar will help maximize gains and enhance production, benefiting communities most at need.

    The deterioration of the security situation in the Centre-North, East, North, Boucle of Mouhoun and Sahel regions in Burkina Faso has led to an unprecedented humanitarian crisis with an exponential increase in the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) throughout 2019. In a context of increased insecurity, climate change, exponential growth of the number of displaced people and rising levels of food insecurity and malnutrition, it is crucial to support the agriculture-based livelihoods of vulnerable populations and to quickly improve their food security.

    Burkina Faso: Humanitarian Response Plan 2023 2023
    Also available in:
    In Burkina Faso, over 16 percent of the population is expected to be in high acute food insecurity during this year’s lean season, if appropriate assistance isn’t provided. This will include, for the first time, 19 867 people in Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5). Around 4 in 5 people rely on agriculture for subsistence, and need urgent support to restore food production. Every USD 1 spent on supporting farmers with a vegetable production package yields over 20 times its value in cabbages, onions and tomatoes.
