It was prepared on the basis of a draft document written in 2003 by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), with the assistance of IRD (French Institute of Research and Development) under the new strategy adopted by the WMO to execute the West and Central Africa AOC) – HYCOS project in components corresponding to large river basins in the sub-region. The WMO has since 1993 initiated the promotion of a world hydrological cycle observing system, (WHYCOS)1, based on a world network of reference stations (hydrological observatories) with real- time or quasi real-time hydrological data transmission, possibly through the World Metrological Surveillance meteorological satellites, with a view to facilitating the development of national, regional and international distributed databases fed by high quality, coherent and constantly updated data on river flows, water quality as well as certain climatological variables. This document proposes the terms of reference as well as the major sequences of the project. The executing agency of the project shall be the WMO. GEE shall host the Project Regional Centre in its premises at Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso as well as assist WMO in the execution

  • 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.

  • Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana
    Small and Medium Forest Enterprises in Ghana Small and medium forest enterprises (SMFEs) serve as the main or additional source of income for more than three million Ghanaians and can be broadly categorised into wood forest products, non-wood forest products and forest services. Many of these SMFEs are informal, untaxed and largely invisible within state forest planning and management. Pressure on the forest resource within Ghana is growing, due to both domestic and international demand for forest products and services. The need to improve the sustainability and livelihood contribution of SMFEs has become a policy priority, both in the search for a legal timber export trade within the Voluntary Small and Medium Partnership Agreement (VPA) linked to the European Union Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (EU FLEGT) Action Plan, and in the quest to develop a national Forest Enterprises strategy for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD). This sourcebook aims to shed new light on the multiple SMFE sub-sectors that in Ghana operate within Ghana and the challenges they face. Chapter one presents some characteristics of SMFEs in Ghana. Chapter two presents information on what goes into establishing a small business and the obligations for small businesses and Ghana Government’s initiatives on small enterprises. Chapter three presents profiles of the key SMFE subsectors in Ghana including: akpeteshie (local gin), bamboo and rattan household goods, black pepper, bushmeat, chainsaw lumber, charcoal, chewsticks, cola, community-based ecotourism, essential oils, ginger, honey, medicinal products, mortar and pestles, mushrooms, shea butter, snails, tertiary wood processing and wood carving.

    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.
