Acted Burkina Faso
The northern regions of Burkina Faso currently face a fragile political and security context, marked in particular by a complex multidimensional crisis. There were just over a million displaced people in the country at the beginning of 2021.
Acted’s mission in Burkina Faso began in 2019 to provide support to populations affected by the security and humanitarian crisis, provide its expertise in rapid response and emergency situations, while strengthening response capacities and coordination between humanitarian and development actors.
Acted Burkina Faso’s interventions are multi-sectoral, flexible and inclusive, with the aim of meeting the urgent needs of populations. From its first interventions, Acted Burkina Faso focuses on the most necessary humanitarian aid: responding to needs in food security, water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH), shelter and essential household items and finally in the coordination and integration of protection. In parallel, and following the evolution of the humanitarian crisis, Acted supports the government in the management of temporary reception sites and informal sites. The REACH initiative allows the entire humanitarian community to strengthen the analysis of humanitarian needs, in particular through a project to monitor the humanitarian situation in 4 regions, the establishment of a multi-sectoral country assessment to support the HNO/HRP 2021 process and territorial assessments.
Dans la région Nord, Acted fourni une assistance en matière de sécurité alimentaire et moyens d’existence, d’eau, d’hygiène et d’assainissement, d’abris et de articles ménagers essentiels. Acted accompagne le gouvernement dans la gestion des sites de déplacement de Ouahigouya et Seguenega. L’organisation prévoit très prochainement un accompagnement du cluster logistique dans la gestion d’un entrepôt humanitaire et le partage d’informations aux partenaires.
