C. 20523 by Evaluation Technologies, Inc. Arl ington, Virginia under contract AID/SOD/PDC-C-0283 The profi Ie on Upper Volta is one in a series designed to provide basel ine country data in support of the planning and rei iet operations of the Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDAl. The content, scope, and sources have evolved over the course of the last three years, and no doubt will continue to do so. The relatively narrow focus is intentional. To avoid redundancy, some topics one might expect to find in a "country prof i Ie" are not covered here. If the information provided can also be useful to others in the disaster assistance and development communities, so much the better. Every effort is made to obtain current, reliable data; unfortunately it is not possible to issue updates as fast as changes would warrant. A cautionary note, therefore, to the reader: stat i'st i cs are i nd i cators at best, and if names and numbers matter, the bibl iography will point to a current source. We invite your comments and corrections. Address these and other queries to OFDA, A.I.D., as given above. September 1981 .'

  • Unity-Progress-Justice” Burkina Faso
    Burkina Faso Unity-Progress-Justice” The official flag of Burkina Faso The rural countryside Woman in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso 1 Location and Geography Burkina Faso is a landlocked country in West Africa and is around 274,200 square kilometres in size. It is surrounded by six other nations: Mali to the north, Niger to the east, Benin to the southeast, Togo and Ghana to the south, and the Ivory Coast to the southwest. As of 2014, it had an estimated population of 17.3 million people. It is home to 42 people per square kilometer. The capital of Burkina Faso is Ouagadougou. This country is made up of two types of land. Majority of the country is covered by a peneplain, with a few isolated hills. However, the southwest of the country is the opposite. It forms a sandstone massif and houses the highest peak in Burkina Faso—Mount Tenakourou. At an elevation of 749 meters (or 2,457 ft), Mount Tenakourou stands out in the relatively flat country which averages an altitude of 400 meters. Mount Tenakourou The country we know as Burkina Faso was formerly known as the Republic of Upper Volta up until 1984. It owes its former name to the three rivers which run across it. The Black Volta, the White Volta, and the Red Volta. The Black Volta is one of only two rivers which flows year round and is a primary source of water to many animals, and sadly, people. Natives canoeing in the Black Volta Location of Burkina Faso 2 Climate and Environment Burkina Faso has a primarily tropical climate but has two very distinct seasons—the rainy season and the dry season.

  • Burkina Faso Human Rights Report
    BURKINA FASO 2012 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Burkina Faso is a constitutional republic. In 2010 voters reelected President Blaise Compaore to a fourth term with more than 80 percent of the vote. Despite some irregularities and the resource advantage held by the president, international observers considered the election to have been free and transparent. The president, assisted by members of his party, the Congress for Democracy and Progress (CDP), continued to dominate the government. There were instances in which elements of the security forces acted independently of civilian control. However, unlike in 2011, when army soldiers mutinied over unpaid wages, there were no incidents in which security forces defied civilian authorities. The most significant human rights problems included security force use of excessive force against civilians and detainees; harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; and societal violence and discrimination against women and children, including female genital mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C). Other human rights problems included arbitrary arrest and detention; judicial inefficiency and lack of independence; official corruption; trafficking in persons; discrimination against persons with disabilities; societal violence; discrimination against members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community; and forced labor, including by children. The government took steps to prosecute individuals in the police and military accused of human rights abuse; however, impunity remained a problem. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life There was one report that the government or its agents committed an arbitrary or unlawful killing. On February 19, inmate Z. Ibrango died after being returned to Nouna Prison following an unsuccessful escape attempt.

    ocP/ 85 . 5 I^IORLD HEAITH ORGANIZATION onchocerclasis Control Programme in the Volta Rlver Basin area B.P. 549 - Ouagadougou t Burkina Faso ONCHOCERCIASIS FOCUS IN THE BISSA COUNTRY by A. Rolland and G. BalaY New edltion, November 1985 I ocP/8s.5 Page 2 FOREWORD The rernarkable work by A. Rolland and G. Balay on the onchocerclasis focus in the Blssa country, which was greatly in advance of its time (f969), was unfortunately never publlshed, although it thoroughly nerited to be so; havlng remained a report of the Onchocerciasls DepartnenE of OCCGE, it r.ras known only to t.he privileged few, for whom i.t was a valuable source of reference. Ihis document is ln effect the result of the first rational mulEidiscipllnary approach to a focus of onchocerclasis; several of the ideas put forward in it have now become basic to the epideniology of the disease; although the work of a physician and an entomologlst, the socloeconomic study that it enbodles was to be the startlng point for the research of those ethnographers and geographers who were to concern themselves wlth onchocerciasis during the next 15 years. At the time when the report was produced, no onchocerciasls control canpaign had been undertaken ln the east of rrhat is now Burkino Faso. Preclse and sober as 1t is, this report gives a.moving descrlption of the catastrophlc situation that prevailed at the tine in the Volta river valleys wlth regard to health and the socioecononlc sltuatLon, a situation which also existed in all the valleys of the major watercourses in the West African savannas; this viclous circle of disease and poverty led lnevitably to the bllndness and early decline of individuals and to the death of their cornmunltles.
