In Burkina Faso, our teams work every day with a deep conviction: no family should go without food, and no child’s future should be compromised by food insecurity. It is in this spirit that we have developed an integrated, multisectoral programme—one that can respond to emergencies while also laying the foundations for lasting resilience.
In 2024, this approach reached more than 100,403 people, including 56,839 children. Behind these figures are households that were able to eat enough, children who regained regular access to a diversified diet, and communities that benefited from a safer, more protective environment.
In 2025, our efforts intensified. Assistance reached 17,532 people from 2,505 households in areas particularly affected: Dédougou, Tougan and Djibasso in the Bankui region; Gorom-Gorom, Dori and Djibo in the Liptako region; and Ouahigouya, Kossouka, Rambo and Séguénéga in the Yaadga region. Everywhere, the same logic guided our action: a rapid, unconditional response that covered the gap in the minimum food basket, always combined with protection activities and economic management counselling to strengthen families’ self-reliance.
But our commitment does not stop at emergency response. In a context shaped by climate change, we have strengthened production techniques and means of production, focusing on agroecology and crisis anticipation. Building on this expertise, we have been able to offer income-generating activities tailored to local realities: youth employment, support to agro-pastoral productivity, assistance to small businesses, farmer field schools, seed distributions, breeding stock, and economic start-up kits.
These efforts have delivered results. The PROPEL/GBV and Sini Gnèsigui projects enabled 331 beneficiaries—mostly women and girls—to develop or strengthen their income-generating activities (IGAs). Through the Bright & Peace 4 All project, 450 young people, including 201 adolescents, accessed vocational training in the Liptako region, while a further 393 received start-up kits in the Yaadga region in the fourth quarter. Each intervention, every training session and every distribution tells the same story: support that does not merely respond to immediate needs, but opens up opportunities, strengthens capacities, and helps communities rebuild sustainably.
