Country Dossier Burkina Faso About this study In 12 African countries and India Green Innovation Centers (GICs) have been established under the Oe Wold, No Huge Iitiatie “EWOH of the Gea goeet and other investors. The aim of the GICs is to promote agricultural innovation, improve food and nutrition security and build sustainable value chains in the agri-food sector of these countries. The Program of Accompanying Research for Agricultural Innovation (PARI) has been providing independent research to the SEWOH since 2015. PARI is led by the Center for Development Research (ZEF) at the University of Bonn in close collaboration with the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA) and its network of national and regional partners in Africa, the African Growth and Development Policy Modeling Consortium (AGRODEP) facilitated by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI, Africa Office) and other partners in Germany and India. This country dossier offers a situation analysis of the current state of the agri-food sector, related policies and existing agricultural innovations. It thereby provides asi akgoud koledge eessa to ake fuitful iestets i lie ith the outs policies and its potentials, and to find promising partners for development cooperation. 1 Program of

  • 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.

  • Bilingual Education in Burkina Faso an Alternative Approach for Quality Basic Education
    Bilingual Education in Burkina Faso An Alternative Approach for Quality Basic Education The book This book presents the history, conceptual foundations, accomplishments and chal- lenges of an educational innovation in Burkina Faso: that of bilingual education. This bilingual education system is designed as a continuum comprised of three levels: early-learning centers for preschool-age children (3 to 6 years), bilingual primary schools for children aged 7 to 11 years and multilingual middle schools for children aged 12 to 16 years. The new system is in keeping with the spirit of Burkina Faso’s education reform law of 30 July 2007. Bilingual education seeks to enable children to acquire a minimum level of edu- cation that gives them the basic knowledge and the tools they need to understand and improve their immediate environment. It is characterized by the use of national languages as both a medium and subject of instruction, the introduction of practical and productive activities, citizenship education, close ties to the local community, study and appreciation of the national culture, involvement of the local population in the design, planning and execution of school programs, and shortening of the duration of schooling by one to two years. Education in Africa Bilingual education in Burkina Faso started with a pilot experiment at the primary level, which ran from 1994 to 1998. It has since been expanded and extended to other Bilingual Education levels of education. Eight national languages are used in complementarity with French. in Burkina Faso The author Paul Taryam Ilboudo was born in 1949 in Nomgana, Burkina Faso.
