Burkina Faso is one of the priority
countries of the World Bank's Disaster Risk Management
(DRM) team for 2009 to 2011. this country note on Disaster
Risk Management and Adaptation to Climate Change (DRM/ACC)
is a baseline document for priority investments in those
areas, and for the support the World Bank will provide to
Burkina Faso through funds allocated under the "Global
Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery" (GFDRR).
Based on analysis of the impact of climate variability and
change on various development sectors in Burkina Faso, and
on national strategies and interventions formulated by
Government and its partners, and taking into account the
five priorities of the Hyogo Action Framework (CAH) and
objectives set in Burkina Faso's National Adaptation
Program of Action (NAPA), this document identifies major
problems, suggests key priority actions to be undertaken in
the area of DRM and addresses adverse impacts of climate
change. The document provides an outline of current weather
conditions in Burkina Faso, long and medium term trends and
establishes linkages with major disaster risks. It analyzes
the institutional framework, related policies and
investments, problems, challenges, and identifies
priorities, as well as recommendations for supporting GFDRR.
This country document was drafted after a participatory
process carried out in close consultation with the National
Council for Emergency Relief and Rehabilitation (CONASUR),
which is Burkina Faso's risk prevention and
humanitarian action co-ordination institution. Key
government and non-government stakeholders were also involved.
