Description 

This project is in line with Burkina Faso's poverty reduction strategy and rural development strategy. The project contributes to poverty reduction, in a spirit of partnership, by developing Burkina Faso's production capacity (livestock breeding and agriculture). The activity follows a strategic approach based on sub-sector analyses and the respect of market forces. The purpose of the activity is to revitalize three target agri-food sub-sectors (milk, bananas, shea butter), mainly for the local market but also for the sub-regional and international markets, depending on the sub-sector, to increase household income and job opportunities in target urban and rural areas. To this end, three basic objectives have been identified: (1) revitalizing sub-sectoral consultation tables; (2) professionalizing services by professional organizations to operators; and (3) innovation and market access. The main impacts of this project are the diversification of Burkina Faso's production base and improved competitiveness as well as an improved food balance.
