Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetStrengthening nutrition and resilience of crisis-affected communities in the Central-North region of Burkina Faso
Use of local radio to promote food and nutrition messages coupled with support to rural livelihoods
2021Also available in:
The Central-North region of Burkina Faso (specifically Yirgou and Gasseliki villages) has experienced frequent attacks by armed groups, besides the inter-community clashes in Barsalogho. These actions led to internal displacements of the population since the beginning of 2019. The displaced communities lost their livelihood means. Moreover, there was widespread food insecurity during the dry season between June and August 2019. The government emergency services, the United Nations (UN) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) undertook a rapid joint assessment in mid-January 2019 in order to understand the needs of the displaced population. The national nutrition survey undertaken in September 2018 showed that the Central-North region had about 28 percent of children under five years who were stunted and almost nine percent who were wasted. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) carried out in November 2018 showed that the food security and nutrition situation of the Central-North region was critical during the lean season of June–August 2019 and about 676 200 people were affected. Against this background, the French government financed a project led by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) entitled “Support to vulnerable households affected by food insecurity and conflicts in the Central-North region of Burkina Faso”. The project received USD 505 051 and was implemented between May 2019 and June 2020. This promising practice is an example of a resilience-building intervention implemented through an integrated, community-based, multi-partner approach operationalizing the humanitarian-development-peace nexus. -
BookletDeploying a humanitarian-development-peace nexus approach: Exploring, strengthening and reviving dryland ecosystems 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The FAO-CARE- CGIAR joint technical working paper will contribute to developing an FAO position and improved understanding of the links between, and risks of, climate change and various kinds of conflict as related to FAO’s mandate, with particular attention to crisis contexts in dryland forests and agrosilvopastoral areas. More broadly, this will feed into UN system-level discussion and processes related to the multidimensional nature of Climate Security. The working paper will unpack how combined climate shocks, environmental degradation, and conflict exacerbate people’s vulnerability and reflect how responses should adapt to tackle these compounding challenges and bolster resilience. The joint study will gather and analyse examples of strategies and interventions that help communities identify and mitigate combined climate, environmental and conflict risks. The paper will then draw lessons learned and recommendations for design and implement projects that support people in achieving long term food security or in building up their ability to cope with multiple shocks, including those of climate change and conflict. The joint study will be based on the premise that humanitarian, development and peace efforts are complementary and mutually-reinforcing and provide evidence that integrated responses offer the most effective way to tackle the root causes of people's vulnerability in crises contexts. It will target donors, policy-makers and practitioners from different disciplines. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetProject brief: Greening the humanitarian response in displacement settings
Ecosystem restoration and sustainable forest management for enhanced energy access and livelihood resilience
2023Also available in:
No results found.The scale and protracted nature of displacement today highlights more than ever the need to integrate environmental preparedness and response in humanitarian interventions. Addressing the environmental impacts of forced displacement and related risks is essential with environmental protection being a necessary pre-condition of human protection. Over past years, FAO has worked with partners to alleviate environmental pressures and facilitate energy access for both host and displaced communities. Funded by DG ECHO, this initiative adopts a multidisciplinary approach that combines emergency assistance with longterm resilience and development efforts towards the sustainable management of forests and ecosystem restoration, enhancing livelihood resilience, energy access, nutrition and food security in displacement settings. Conceived as a pilot with global level action and country activities in Djibouti, Somalia, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania, greening the humanitarian response in displacement settings represents a further opportunity for bridging and maximizing positive effects along the humanitarian–development–peace nexus.
