In the current context of Burkina Faso marked by enormous economic challenges, coupled with a security and humanitarian crisis, it is imperative to develop innovative and endogenous (local) initiatives with a view to finding suitable sustainable solutions to improve the living conditions of internally displaced and host populations, victims of this still deplorable situation. In the Centre-North, more than 9340 women IDPs are very vulnerable because they fled their homes without being able to take anything with them. Thus, being able to have a single meal a day has become difficult. This is one of the fundamental reasons for creating a framework for the development of these people who are victims of conflict. From there, Income Generating Activities (IGAs) are local initiatives aimed at creating economic opportunities for people and host communities, allowing them to become financially independent and to adequately meet their needs. It is in these perspectives that Association Protection Without Borders (APSF) in partnership with the NGO Skills4Aid are implementing a project called "Project to support the economic recovery of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and Guests of the province of Zondoma Northern region, Burkina Faso”. It will help directly meet the needs of 160 IDP women and more than 900 indirect beneficiaries.

160 Internally Displaced Women and Hosts

The main objective of the project is to increase the income of women (IDPs and host communities) and improve their quality of life.

The specific objectives of the project are:

– Train beneficiaries in specific skills that are in demand on the market; – Provide for the needs of women and girls in loincloths, spices, soaps and decorative objects;

– Provide resources and support for starting economic activities;

– Facilitate market access for products and services created by beneficiaries;

– Encourage entrepreneurship and local innovation;

– Perpetuate these AGRs.

This will specifically involve training IDP and host women and girls in the conduct of an income-generating activity and equipping them in groups of 5 to 8 women to undertake a micro-production enterprise (in beading; soumbala, saponification, koko donda, etc.); with a view to strengthening their economic resilience.
