BURKINA FASO: FEBRUARY 2019 SITREP AND NOTABLE TRENDS. Map Source: Jules Duhamel. • Security situation due to militant groups and inter-community tensions have led to the closure of high number of schools. Thousands of students still unable to attend school while others were forced to be displaced internally or to neighboring countries where situation is not that much better. • Notable trend in Burkina Faso during month of February 2019 that continued to early March is violent acts against Fulani communities. Such a trend was only apparent in Mali but now is increasing in Burkina Faso as well. There was one incident where allegedly Burkinabe forces killed 30 civilians in the Sahel Region February 24th, while also accused of other executions during a military operations in Est Region on February 4th. For months now teachers abandoned their posts and schools are closed leaving young children facing an uncertain future. There are no signs of optimism or improvements in Sahel, Est, and Nord Regions while situation continues to deteriorate in other regions on the border with Cote d’Ivoire, Benin, and Ghana. Will be naïve to take the situation lightly as things developing faster than anticipated. Great map by Jules Duhamel (@julesdhl highlighting where most violence occurred.

    BURKINA FASO Monthly Food Security Update February 2007 In general, the food security situation in all livelihood zones is satisfactory in terms of the availability and prices of grain. Despite limited pasture resources and animal watering problems in the North and the Sahel, terms of trade for livestock/grain are still in favor of pastoralists in most parts of the country. New outbreaks of meningitis in certain health districts and the contamination of bore holes in the north are serious threats affecting household health status. Suspected bird flu outbreaks in the central region dictate the need for increased surveillance at the country level. Seasonal calendar Normal rainfall 2006/07 Growing Season Start-of-season Harvests Land preparation Weeding - second dressing - field clean-up Off-season grain production MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC JAN FEB Dry Season First planting Replanting Dry season Current food security situation On the whole, the household food situation in all livelihood zones is considered acceptable, despite anticipated problems in the following at‐risk areas. In the Sahel, a livelihood zone characterized mainly by transhumant pastoralism and pearl millet production (figure 1), the levels of on‐farm reserves are relatively low in villages like Déou and Tinakoff in Oudalan province and virtually nonexistent in other villages like Gorgadji, in Soum. With household food self‐sufficiency in this area considered average at best, the short‐term food outlook suggests that households will face increasing food insecurity during the next one to three months. However, inventory levels in grain banks in this region are satisfactory thanks to partnerships between certain NGOs and regional organizations.
