c. Geopolitical analysis
Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in the world. People living in the most precarious conditions are often illiterate with little or no access to healthcare and low spending power.
The most vulnerable people, including people with disabilities, receive almost no medical assistance and are rarely included in the economic and social life of the country. It is difficult for them to fully enjoy their

basic rights to education, vocational training and employment. Most suffer exclusion and extreme poverty.
Since 2015, conflicts between the state and non-state armed groups in the northern regions of Burkina- Faso have increased insecurity. This permanent conflict situation has forced 1 million people from their homes in Burkina-Faso, depriving them of economic resources essential to their survival.
Summary of HI’s work in the country
Burkina Faso was the first West African country in which HI worked. The organisation has been registered there since 1991, when it helped rehabilitate the National Orthopaedic Fitting Centre of Burkina Faso (CNAOB) in partnership with the Ministry of Health. It subsequently supported the development and setting up of other rehabilitation and fitting centres across the country. Over the following years, HI went on to diversify its work in Burkina Faso.
Until 2015, HI’s projects were almost exclusively devoted to development, but the organisation gradually shifted its focus to meet the population’s chronic and humanitarian needs. In 2020, out of 11 projects, 36% are humanitarian projects, 27% provide response to chronic crises and 36% provide response to development needs.
HI is helping to set up a regional functional rehabilitation network integrated into the national health system as part of its development work. HI trains health and rehabilitation professionals. The organisation’s education project helps children with disabilities access and continue to attend primary school. HI also trains and raises the awareness of people working in disability and inclusive education to ensure the project’s sustainability. HI is implementing a road-safety project in Ouagadougou building on several years of research. Lastly, and again in Ouagadougou, HI was part of a project that includes people with disabilities in the management and use of public infrastructure in the capital.
As part of its crisis response, HI addresses the needs of households in the Sahel region facing insecurity, including food insecurity through RECOSA, the Project for Strengthening the Resilience and Social Cohesion of Vulnerable People in the Cross-Border Regions of Burkina Faso (Sahel region) and Niger (Tillabery region), and the physical and emotional stimulation of malnourished children in the Sahel. HI also helps schools to address the impact of insecurity in the Sahel and Eastern regions by implementing school preparedness and response plans.
Lastly, HI's response to humanitarian needs aims to support vulnerable people (including students and teachers) who have suffered shock or trauma as a result of the crisis, and to meet the basic need for shelter of people in Soum province (the province second worst-affected by population displacement). HI is also a member of the consortium leading the Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) project in Burkina Faso to alert and provide information on the needs of displaced people. Lastly, HI implements a project to help humanitarian response actors make their projects more inclusive of older people and people with disabilities.
