Description

The initiative Let's Cultivate the Future is implemented in 8 Rural Municipalities comprising 35 villages in the Centre West Region of Burkina Faso. The aim is to contribute to Sustainable Development Goal No. 2, through the promotion of an inclusive, sustainable, resilient, equitable, diversified and highly nutritional food system (production and consumption) (specific objective), and 3 expected outcomes as: ● Outcome 1 (31161 food crop production CRS CODE DAC) involves 1750 smallholder farmers (M/F) who cultivate using expensive and harmful pesticides and chemical fertilizers. The initiative intends to equip them with specific skills in sustainable agricultural practices and techniques in a context of protection of their rights and social inclusion through the introduction of a mutual health insurance and the drafting of birth certificates and identity cards for farmers who do not have them. The action prioritises the active involvement of the local population in all its phases, including the selection of beneficiaries (activity 1.1). This will be carried out by giving priority to women heads of households (gender equality is a significant objective) and young people, with the aim of creating equal opportunities. ● Outcome 2 (31194 CRS CODE DAC agricultural cooperatives) involves 919 farmers, predominantly women (gender equality significant objective) who already practice agroecology and organic farming and have spontaneously organised themselves into 13 agricultural cooperatives. Thanks to the expertise of the partner Halieus - structure of Legacoop (National League of Cooperatives and Mutual Societies), the cooperatives will be coached and supported to develop and implement a plan to commercialise their production (Trade Development: significant objective), generating additional income. ● Outcome 3 ( 43072 Household food security programmes CRS CODE DAC) the initiative intervenes in the prevention and care of acute or moderate malnutrition in children 0-59 months and pregnant women, complementing the treatment and care provided by the local health centres with an outreach and community-based service in the 35 villages. 70 community health workers will be selected and trained to refer patients at risk of malnutrition to area dispensaries for the health checks required by the ministerial health protocol and to follow the most severe cases at home during the nutritional recovery plan. It is expected that 3,100 children 0-59 months and 1,000 pregnant women (Minors: significant objective and Contributed to maternal and child health. explicit primary objective) with a diagnosis of acute or moderate malnutrition will be treated through the action. A training and information campaign on the preparation of highly nutritional baby food will be organised and carried out by women and men belonging to the community and trained to do cooking demonstrations and information campaigns. To this end, kitchen and storage facilities will be equipped in each village for the storage and preparation of food for cooking demonstrations (nutrition: Principal objective). Allegato 2_Modello Documento Unico di Progetto_DUP_Bando Promossi 2023 8 Outcomes 1 and 2 promote the use of sustainable agricultural techniques that ensure proper management of natural resources, promote the cultivation of local crops with high nutritional value (local cereals and vegetables) (Aid to environment principal objective) and counteract soil impoverishment and groundwater pollution due to the use of pesticides and chemical fertilisers. The communities of the 35 villages and the local authorities of the 8 partner municipalities were involved in all phases of the needs analysis and the identification of project activities (Participatory Development/Good Governance. Significant objective). read more close

SDGs

2.1 - By 2030, end hunger and ensure access by all people, in particular the poor and people in vulnerable situations, including infants, to safe, nutritious and sufficient food all year round
2.2 - By 2030, end all forms of malnutrition, including achieving, by 2025, the internationally agreed targets on stunting and wasting in children under 5 years of age, and address the nutritional needs of adolescent girls, pregnant and lactating women and older persons
2.3 - By 2030, double the agricultural productivity and incomes of small-scale food producers, in particular women, indigenous peoples, family farmers, pastoralists and fishers, including through secure and equal access to land, other productive resources and inputs, knowledge, financial services, markets and opportunities for value addition and non-farm employment
2.4 - By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change, extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality
