Hintergrundinformation

The security context in the Sahel is deteriorating, basic social services are disrupted, access both to markets and financial services is restricted, and the COVID-19 crisis puts further stress on the system. As a result, the situation of people in need living or finding refuge in the project areas has become extremely critical, increasing their dependence on humanitarian aid. Burkina Faso has more than a million IDPs, while more than 150 health centers are not functioning, 3,500 schools are closed, food insecurity prevails and access to water and sanitation is insufficient.
