Project presentation
In Burkina Faso, the ongoing security crisis has led to massive internal displacement from the north to the south of the country. The city of Ouahigouya has seen its population triple, placing severe pressure on already fragile infrastructure and worsening food insecurity to its highest level in more than a decade.
Many internally displaced women, formerly engaged in farming, have been forced to abandon their land and livelihoods. The project led by Movement France builds on these existing skills by developing sustainable family farming activities that generate income opportunities.
Implemented on a secured 1.2-hectare agricultural plot, the project combines sustainable crop production, improved access to water through a borehole, the creation of a composting platform, and the construction of a solar-powered storage and processing facility.
Fifteen internally displaced women receive training in agroecological practices, food processing and sales management. The project strengthens their economic autonomy while improving access for local communities to sustainably produced food throughout the year.
