LAND-AT-SCALE - Strengthening land governance for food security in Burkina Faso

This project aims to improve food security and the resilience of women and youth in the country by securing their access to land and by strengthening land governance and management practices

Burkina Faso is dealing with many crises: food insecurity, climate vulnerability and massive population displacement. Land plays a critical factor in all these crises. The fast-growing population, degradation of land as well as widespread migration of the population across Burkina Faso are putting rampant pressures on land. Improved land governance, including more sustainable and climate-resilient land management practices, and improved access to land for vulnerable groups, can provide crucial support to addressing these crises in Burkina Faso.
