In Burkina Faso, the security crisis and climate change have led to increased food insecurity, poverty and massive population displacement. To change this, the RESICOM project, financed by the Embassy of Denmark and implemented by Solidar Suisse and SOS Sahel International in partnership with local partners OCADES/Dédougou and FEBAP/Yatenga, aims to improve the incomes of indigenous populations and facilitate the socio-economic integration of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the Boucle du Mouhoun and Nord regions. To achieve this, the project intends to develop 200 hectares of rice-growing lowlands for 1,600 beneficiaries. For the 2022 agricultural season, 78 hectares of lowland rice fields have been developed.
