Programme d’appui à la valorisation des produits forestiers non ligneux, phase 2 (PFNL2)
15.12.2016
- 31.12.2020
Au Burkina Faso, les
produits forestiers non ligneux[1] (PFNL) constituent une importante source alimentaire pour
les populations des zones affectées par les chocs climatiques et déficitaires
sur le plan alimentaire. Les PFNL font partie de l’alimentation de plus de
43,4% des ménages ruraux et procurent de l’emploi et des revenus. Le programme contribue à l’accroissement de la sécurité
alimentaire, nutritionnelle et des revenus des ménages ruraux et périurbains[2]
par la valorisation et la gestion durable des PFNL.
[1] Les PFNL s’entendent
par « tout bien d’origine biologique
autre que le bois et la faune à l’exception des insectes, dérivé des forêts et
des arbres hors forêts, constitués de végétaux spontanés, domestiqués, et ceux
destinés au reboisement ». (Source FAO) [2] Le périurbain est
un espace rural au sens où l’essentiel des sols est attribué à des activités
agricoles; mais c’est aussi un espace urbain au sens où la majorité de la
population active qui y habite travaille dans une ville, en effectuant des
migrations alternantes. Le milieu périurbain connait une très forte compétition
entre usage agricole et non
agricole des ressources: terres, main-d'œuvre, etc. La production agricole est
orientée principalement pour le marché du centre urbain.

Programme d’Appui à la Formation Professionnelle et à l’Apprentissage (PAFPA)
01.12.2016
- 31.12.2020
Au Burkina Faso, la majorité des jeunes travaille dans des activités à faible valeur ajoutée, du fait d’un système de formation professionnelle peu efficace et faiblement lié au secteur privé. Le PAFPA entend améliorer l’accès et la qualité de ce système en capitalisant sur les expériences de la DDC dans les secteurs agro-alimentaire et artisanal et en promouvant un partenariat public-privé inédit entre le Ministère de la formation professionnelle, la plus grande organisation patronale et une ONG spécialisée en ingénierie de formation.
