  • BURKINA FASO Food Security Update February 2008
    BURKINA FASO Food Security Update February 2008 This report focuses on market conditions in the western part of the country. It is the product of a joint CILSS/SONAGESS/FEWS NET market and cross‐border trade assessment mission in the Boucle du Mouhoun and Hauts Bassins regions. The methodology used by the mission combines interviews of institutional stakeholders and private market participants and on‐site visits to area markets. • The food security situation in the western part of the country is Figure 1. Current estimated food security satisfactory (Figure 1). Recent measures taken by the conditions (January through March of 2008) government (social marketing programs and restrictions on exports) are helping to drive down prices in many areas. There are also large on‐farm and trader inventories in these regions, despite reported climatic anomalies in certain locations during the past growing season. • Given the current level of domestic supply and demand, there is very little likelihood of a critical food security situation like that of 2005. Traders are asking the government to lift current bans on grain exports to allow them to sell their grain supplies on major markets within the sub region, such as that of Niger, alleging that a continuation of current government measures could force both farmers and traders to build up overly large inventories, penalizing farmers in the event of a good 2008/09 growing Source: FEWS NET season and resulting in the selling off of grain crops at rock‐bottom prices due to a slump in demand. • In the livestock sector, the problem of limited access to feed supplements following this year’s shortfall in cotton production needs to be dealt with immediately to ensure good feeding conditions for livestock during the upcoming lean period for the country’s animal population (from March to April).

  • Burkina Faso 2020 Human Rights Report
    BURKINA FASO 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Burkina Faso is a constitutional republic led by an elected president. On November 22, the country held presidential and legislative elections despite challenges due to growing insecurity and increasing numbers of internally displaced persons. President Roch Marc Christian Kabore was re-elected to a second five-year term with 57.74 percent of the popular vote, and his party--the People’s Movement for Progress--won 56 seats in the 127-seat National Assembly, remaining the largest party in a legislative majority coalition with smaller parties. National and international observers characterized the elections as peaceful and “satisfactory,” while noting logistical problems on election day and a lack of access to the polls for many citizens due to insecurity. The government had previously declared that elections would take place only in areas where security could be guaranteed. The Ministry of Internal Security and the Ministry of Defense are responsible for internal security. The Ministry of Internal Security oversees the National Police. The army, air force, and National Gendarmerie, which operate within the Ministry of Defense, are responsible for external security but sometimes assist with missions related to domestic security. On January 21, the government passed legislation formalizing community-based self-defense groups by establishing the Volunteers for the Defense of the Fatherland, a civilian support corps for state counterterrorism efforts with rudimentary oversight from the

  • Country Profiles
    Global Coalition EDUCATION UNDER ATTACK 2020 GCPEA to Protect Education from Attack COUNTRY PROFILES BURKINA FASO The frequency of attacks on education in Burkina Faso increased during the reporting period, with a sharp rise in attacks on schools and teachers in 2019. Over 140 incidents of attack – including threats, military use of schools, and physical attacks on schools and teachers – took place within a broader climate of insecurity, leading to the closure of over 2,000 educational facilities. Context The violence that broke out in northern Burkina Faso in 2015, and which spread southward in subsequent years,331 es- calated during the 2017-2019 reporting period.332 Ansarul Islam, an armed group that also operated in Mali, perpetrated an increasing number of attacks in Soum province, in the Sahel region, throughout 2016 and 2017.333 Other armed groups, including Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and its affiliate, Groupfor the Support of Islam and Muslims (JNIM), as well as the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (ISGS), also committed attacks against government buildings, and civilian structures such as restaurants, schools, and churches, targeting military posts.334 Since the spring of 2017, the government of Burkina Faso has under- taken military action against armed groups in the north, including joint operations with Malian and French forces.335 Data from the UN Department for Safety and Security (UNDSS) demonstrated increasing insecurity in Burkina Faso during the reporting period. Between January and September 2019, 478 security incidents reportedly occurred, more than dur- ing the entire period between 2015 and 2018 (404).336 These incidents have extensively affected civilians.

  • 11.3. Zoning of Forest Reserves 11.3.1. Basic Idea of the Zoning
    11.3. Zoning of Forest reserves 11.3.1. Basic idea of the Zoning The most important fact regarding zoning of the Gouandougou and Kongouko forest reserves in relation to the basic policies of the management plan for these forest reserves is that the creation of such village organizations as GGFs and a GGF Union as implementing bodies of the management plan will be unrealistic for some time to come. Accordingly, it will be essential for the administration/Forest Service to develop the basics for participatory forest reserve management in the future while conducting the management work (including educational activities and the control of illegal activities, i.e. law enforcement). In other words, the Forest Service should try to enhance the involvement of local villagers in the management of these forest reserves through the use of forest resources in the reserves. When full-scale participatory forest reserve management commences following the establishment of GGFs and a GGF Union in the future, it will be necessary to review the management plan in place, including the zoning plan, with reference to the situation in the Bounouna and Toumousséni forest reserves. Figure 11.2 shows the zoning plan for the Gouandougou forest reserve and Kongouko forest reserve respectively. These two forest reserves are endowed with relatively rich natural resources and the dependence and development pressure of residents of villages near these forest reserves are comparatively low. Accordingly, zones to promote the use of forest products by local villagers will be set up near the villages concerned to provide incentives for local villagers to conserve forest resources.
