A poor distribution of resources between the different social strata limits a country's development efforts. In Burkina Faso, Solidar Suisse fights to improve the living conditions of vulnerable populations. We are multiplying our actions to create decent work conditions, to improve access to quality public services for all and to ensure a fair distribution of resources.

Decent work

Solidar Suisse campaigns for decent wages, social security and respect for human rights.

Humanitarian action

We intervene after disasters, supporting reconstruction and restoring livelihoods.

Democracy

Solidar Suisse supports civil society organizations and thus creates the basis for democratic processes and popular participation.

Intervention zones

In Burkina Faso, the majority of vulnerable populations live in rural areas. To change this situation and strengthen their livelihoods, Solidar Suisse intervenes in certain rural areas of the country which are considered more vulnerable (according to data from reference studies). Our areas of intervention to date are: the Plateau Central, the Centre Nord, the Nord, the Est, the Boucle du Mouhoun, the Sahel, etc.

“Grâce au projet RESICOM, je suis une femme éclairée et épanouie. Avant, par méconnaissance des bonnes pratiques d’hygiène et alimentaire, mes 04 premiers bébés étaient régulièrement malades. Je n’avais pas assez de lait et je les nourrissais avec les mêmes repas que les adultes”
