From April 29 to May 1, 2024, a training session on biofertilizer and biopesticide production techniques (bokashi, kogle-zanga, Appichi,…) was held in Roumtenga for community facilitators from the Projet de promotion des pratiques agroécologiques et de valorisation des productions agricoles (Rilgré).
Led by the Beo-Neeré Agroecology Association at its farm school, this training will ultimately help to build the technical capacity of community facilitators to support the project’s community structures, in particular the CoRi (Rilgré agroecological practice communities), in raising awareness and providing support and advice to project beneficiaries in adopting agroecological practices. Made up of 200 members per commune, the CoRi bring together producers’ organizations, women who own land known as “beolga”, socio-professional organizations of young men and women, IDPs and people living with disabilities, who share common concerns about land degradation, for which agroecology is a solution.

The Rilgré project is being implemented by the Solidar Suisse consortium and the Association Beo-Neeré Agroécologie (ABNA), with the overall aim of improving the integrated management of natural resources and sustainably restoring natural ecosystems in the Sahel, in order to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable populations in the face of climate change. It covers 13 communes in the Plateau-Central, Centre-Nord and Centre-Est regions.
The project is financed to the tune of 1,246,316,400 FCFA by the Kingdom of Belgium through its development agency, Enabel, as part of the implementation of the Portefeuille Thématique Climat Sahel (PTCS)-volet Burkina Faso.
