West Africa in 2022! 4 This is significant and unique… and yet, it's just a drop in an entire ocean of need. These remarkable and growing results will nevertheless be worthless if stakeholders in both the South and North – political actors and those from civil society, private operators and those working in the field of development, decision-makers, donors and project owners – do not incorporate the essential and urgent issues linked to adapted housing into their visions, focus, agendas, projects and programmes. Given the multiple challenges facing modern Africa and the problems resulting from climate change, and under the cheerful care of Sahelian women, one thing is clear... Zinc roofing for all is not a solution and the emergence of a resilient and sustainable eco-construction sector is one of the cornerstones of a trouble-free future. Let us prepare for it together!

  • 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

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.

The purpose of the behavioral baseline was to examine the logic of decision-making related to livelihoods within the project’s target intervention areas in Mali Livelihood Zone 09, West and central rainfed millet/sorghum (ML09) with the aim of identifying: 1. Who is vulnerable to what stresses and shocks: While individuals experience numerous shocks and stresses that are particular to their life circumstances, the behavioral baseline seeks to systematically organize these stresses and shocks to help identify which groups of people are vulnerable to what shocks and stresses within a given geographical and social context. 2. Why particular groups of people experience particular assemblages of vulnerabilities: While within the same context people may be exposed to the same stresses and shocks, their vulnerability is a result of more than this exposure.
