Abstract

Significant additional capacity building within government, including local governments, and support for vulnerable populations is needed for Burkina Faso to maintain the development gains achieved in recent years. Of particular concern are the country’s agricultural capacity, and the population’s limited access to medical professionals and improved sanitation facilities. High dependence on climate-sensitive livelihoods — agriculture, pastoralism, forestry and fisheries, leave Burkina Faso vulnerable. The issues are explored in this paper, which is one in a series of country reviews prepared to provide the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA) with a snapshot of adaptation action in its countries of engagement.
