• Project description
  The project’s intervention consists of restoring degraded pastures in the Burkinabe Sahel in close collaboration with local rural communities by re-establishing its structure, productivity and tree and grass species diversity originally present in order to enhance the productivity of the vegetation as pasture for the benefit of the pastoralists and agro-pastoralists. Sustainable land-use management of the pastures are promoted through the introduction of local land charters. The project is located in the Sahel in the North of Burkina Faso. In the first stage of the project three villages in the province of Oudalan are involved with a total of 282 ha and in a later stage other villages in the provinces of Soum and Séno.
