Often, approaches to investment-related land rights violations are reactive, rather than proactive and preventative: legal support is usually provided after communities have been negatively impacted, displaced or evicted — and after lives have been lost, property destroyed, local waters and soils polluted, and communities devastated. In such cases, legal support has a limited chance of reversing the damage caused.

Burkina Faso
Le Burkina Faso est un pays sahélien, enclavé au cœur de l’Afrique de l’Ouest, dont l’économie s’appuie essentiellement sur l’agriculture et l’élevage.
