    Carpena, Pietro, TREE AID Supporting the development of locally controlled small-scale enterprises based on non-timber forest products in Burkina Faso: TREE AID’s experience Authors: Pietro Carpena - TREE AID; Désiré Ouedraogo - TREE AID; Alexis Sompougdou - TREE AID; Barthélémy Kaboret - TREE AID In the fight against poverty the use of forest products are often quoted as having significant potential to improve the livelihoods of rural people living within or close to forest areas. TREE AID works in Africa’s drylands to unlock the potential of trees to tackle poverty and improve the environment. Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are an important part of traditional livelihoods in the drylands of West Africa. Communities generally have free access to communal forest resources, and NTFPs are already an important alternative source of income for rural households – especially women. However, marketing forest products to reduce poverty can be hindered by several factors including poor management and business skills, lack of investment, poor market access and information and dwindling natural resource base. Over the last decade, through its programmes, TREE AID has guided the self-organisation of hundreds of village interest groups in Burkina Faso, Mali and Ghana to develop and manage small businesses, also known as village tree enterprise (VTE) groups, based on NTFPs. With support from the Market Analysis and Development (MA&D) approach developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), TREE AID has provided the crucial structures that are necessary to achieve this empowerment. The support to VTEs groups covers all aspects of the NTFP value chain by facilitating market linkages and introducing private sector approaches to marketing and customer retention to ensure that expanded agricultural enterprise is achieved.

  • 6.2 Pro-Poor Forest Governance in Burkina Faso and Tanzania
    ETFRN NEws 53: ApRil 2012 6.2 pro-poor forest governance in Burkina Faso and Tanzania JuLIA PAuLSON, GEMMA Salt, TONY HILL, LuDOVIC Conditamde, DéSIRé OuEDRAOGO and JOANNA WAIN introduction This paper discusses initiatives in pro-poor forest governance in two african countries: Burkina Faso and Tanzania. The term “pro-poor forest governance” means equitable, decentralized decision-making that recognizes the rights and responsibilities of the local forest users and communities who depend on forests for their livelihoods. This aligns with the Forest Governance learning Group (FGlG)1 definition of good forest governance, which “reflects the decisions and actions that remove barriers and install policy and institution- successes in pro-poor al systems which spread local forestry success.”2 governance and in key features include participation, accountabil- ity, equity, fairness, transparency, local control communiTy decisions and management. abouT foresT resources need To be connecTed wiTh oTher africa is the only continent where rates of deforestation continue to worsen,3 and forests processes wiThin The foresT secTor. are tightly linked to the livelihoods of poor rural african households.4 pro-poor forest governance — which puts decision-making power in the hands of poor forest users — offers the potential to both secure livelihoods and protect forests. The following factors have enabled the successes in Burkina Faso and Tanzania: • enabling policy frameworks; • working in multi-level collaborative networks; • connecting local enterprise and forest management; • a learning-by-doing approach; and • facilitating learning exchanges. Burkina Faso and Tanzania This article draws on evidence from two very different countries. Burkina Faso, in West africa, has a total forest cover of approximately 26% or 7.1 million hectares (ha), 67,000 ha of which is planted forest.

  • After Planting 5200 Trees in the Sahel
    Paris, France – May 2021 Press release AFTER PLANTING 5,200 TREES IN THE SAHEL SINCE 2020 WITH NGO TREE AID, ALLAND & ROBERT CREATES ITS COMPANY FOUNDATION TO HELP WITH THE PREVENTION OF DESERTIFICATION IN AFRICA By 2030, the Great Green Wall will have revived 100 million hectares of dryland to fight the advancing Sahara desert. How? By growing trees on an 8,000 km strip that stretches over twenty countries in the sub-Saharan zone, from Senegal to Djibouti. Partner of this initiative with the NGO Tree Aid, Alland & Robert reinforces its historic commitment to African communities and creates its company foundation. In the Sahel, the consequences of climate change are significant. The climate crisis worsens the poverty of local populations, destroys food crops and endangers the future of young generations. One of the reasons for this disaster: the advance of the Sahara, accelerating from year to year. The Great Green Wall initiative was born in 2007 to counter this phenomenon. In this context, Alland & Robert announces the creation of its Company Foundation. Its statutes were filed on May 11th, 2021 and its mission is to manage Alland & Robert’s commitments to the environment and the Sahelian communities related to the acacia gum harvest. Alland & Robert is one of the major manufacturers of acacia gum worldwide. One of the foundation’s main projects will be to strengthen the partnership between Alland & Robert and Tree Aid, a UK-based NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) expert of African drylands and reforestation, and a participant in the Great Green Wall project. In 2020, the first year of this Committed to the African communities since the creation partnership, Alland & Robert helped plant 3,600 trees which of the company in 1884, Alland & Robert decided to create corresponds to approximately 36 hectares of restored land.

  • Reshaping the Terrain Forest and Landscape Restoration in Burkina Faso 1
    Reshaping the terrain Forest and landscape restoration in Burkina Faso 1 GLF Factsheet | August 2018 Reshaping the terrain Forest and landscape restoration in Burkina Faso Mathurin Zida* Construction of half-moon anti erosion micro basins 2, Djibo area, Burkina Faso Introduction Land degradation is a key issue in Burkina Faso’s sustainable development equation. Recent analyses show that degradation occurs at a rate of about 470,000 ha per year, affecting 51,600 km2, 19 percent, of the national territory (MEEVCC 2018). The annual price tag is estimated to be equal to 26 percent of the country’s gross domestic product (Global Mechanism of the UNCCD 2018). Huge efforts have been undertaken by numerous stakeholders to tackle the problem. Currently, Burkina Faso is taking advantage of the Land Degradation Neutrality (LDN) program, with which it aligned in 2016, by setting its national voluntary goals and identifying measures to achieve them by 2030 (SPONG and CARI 2017; MEEVCC 2018; UNCCD 2018). Reforestation efforts Examples of on-going restoration-related projects include: Neer-Tamba project in North, Center North and An analysis of degradation trends conducted East regions; ProSol project in Haut-Bassin region; EBA- between 2002 and 2013 revealed that degrada- FEM project in Boucle du Mouhoun and Sahel regions; tion hot-spots exist throughout the country’s three Forest Investment Program (FIP) in Boucle du Mouhoun, eco-regions – the Sahelian, Sudano-Sahelian and Center West, South West and East regions; Great Green Sudanese zones – with varying levels of severity Wall for the Sahara and the Sahel Initiative (GGWSSI) in (MEEVCC 2018).

Institutional History 1.1 Initial motivation and expectations In Burkina Faso, the contribution of the forestry sector to GDP (along with hunting and fishing) was estimated at 15% in 20071, but this is likely to be an underestimate since several activities linked to NTFPs are not considered2. SMFEs create added value through wood and non timber forest products and represent a promising niche to alleviate poverty and diversify livelihoods for rural populations, whilst conserving the natural resource base through sustainable forestry management.

  • When Trees Mean Life
    WHEN TREES MEAN LIFE TREE AID Annual Review 2010/11 WE KNOW THAT TACKLING POVERTY AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT ARE INSEPARABLE. Poor people suffer disproportionately when their immediate environment is degraded. They are often forced to over exploit their natural resources simply to survive. This leads to greater poverty and increased vulnerability to the impact of climate change. The very existence of rural communities is then threatened by extreme weather events. This is why we unlock the potential of trees to reduce poverty and protect the environment. THIS IS WHY WE BELIEVE... TREES MEAN LIFE are cut down. TREE AID’s work FO R E V erY tree is ending this cycle for the P L A N ted I N A fri C A 28 communities with which it works.

Tree Aid has built up a strong reputation internationally as a high performing organisation that is able to deliver on its promises. We are an innovative, knowledgeable and specialist charity focusing on the role of trees in tackling poverty and combatting the climate crisis in dryland Africa. The demand for our work is enormous. As Chair of Tree Aid, it is my great privilege to provide, with the other trustees, the leadership and guidance to support this work, focusing on its quality and long-term impact. Given the incredible need for our work, we continue to set ourselves the ambitious targets for expansion and will be developing our next organisational strategy this year. We are looking to build the influence and impact of our work by sharing our experience more widely. For this reason, we are looking for three new trustees to strengthen our Board that offer expertise in either international development, financial management and oversight, and advocacy and policy.
