From June 12 to 15, Inades-Formation Burkina organized a series of training courses on techniques for reclaiming degraded land for producers from six (06) villages in the Central Plateau and Northern regions of Burkina Faso. Objective: to build farmers’ resilience to climate change. This training should enable beneficiaries to improve their yields in agricultural production, and hence their living conditions.

Producers from the village of Zipélin in training: levelling for stone cordon deposition

More than a hundred farmers have benefited from the series of training courses in techniques for restoring degraded land organized by Inades-Formation Burkina. The localities visited by the team of trainers are: the villages of Mako and Kiè in the Passoré province, North region, and the villages of Zipelin and Kinana in the Kourwéogo province, Central Plateau region. Over the course of four days, the growers were able to learn a number of techniques: how to set up stone cordons, create half-moons, zaï, herbaceous tapie and practice Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR). In addition to these training courses, producers in the villages of Basbédo in the Passoré province and Douré in the Kourwéogo region benefited from equipment support consisting of rakes, shovels, picks and drums. All this support from Inades-Formation Burkina comes at the dawn of the wet agricultural season in Burkina Faso, when farmers are concerned about the effects of climate change on their agricultural production.

David ZOUNDI, Program Manager at Inades-Formation Burkina, urged farmers to put the skills they had learned into practice in order to increase yields on their farms. The growers are committed to experimenting with the techniques they have learned in their fields. A follow-up will be carried out at a later date to assess whether the commitments made by the farmers who took part in the training have been fulfilled.

Inades-Formation Burkina’s capacity-building action for farmers on techniques for reclaiming degraded land is part of the implementation of the Project to support the strengthening of sustainable food systems, transparent governance and organized, committed youth in the Northern, Central Plateau and Central regions of Burkina Faso. This project is financed by the Belgian NGO Broederlijk Delen for a period of 5 years, from 2022 to 2026.

ABCD2 project

Projet ABCD-Un élève un arbre COP28

1. Project title

Supporting the scaling-up of community experiences and citizen monitoring of public policies in response to climate change in sub-Saharan Africa (ABCD 2 project)

2. Summary

The project to scale up community experiences and dynamics of citizen monitoring of public policies in the face of climate change in sub-Saharan Africa is the continuation of an initial project to capitalize on these experiences.

In fact, in 2022, with funding from the Basque Agency for Development Cooperation (ABCD), Inades-Formation carried out the “Study-capitalization of good practices in the face of the challenges of climate change and local governance in sub-Saharan Africa ” project, which capitalized on 50 experiences, including 31 climate change adaptation experiences and 19 governance experiences in 11 sub-Saharan African countries.

Based on the results of this pilot project, we have been able to identify and capitalize on some of the living realities of community efforts to combat the problems posed by climate change in Africa. They have been developed by a variety of players, including public services specializing in environmental and climate change management, civil society organizations and farmers’ organizations.

This second phase of the project, which will run for 30 months (2022-2024), aims to (i) scale up these good experiences developed by communities in African countries, in terms of adaptation, mitigation and resilience to climate change and of (ii) support the dynamics of citizen monitoring of the associated policy and regulatory frameworks.
