Forest Investment Program Burkina Faso
CONCLUSION
The implementation of the proposed FIP IP in Burkina will have
important social and environmental co-benefits that are difficult
to value in $ terms but are essential.
Social: important potential of the proposed activities in the
Investment Plan to generate employment in rural areas.
Environmental: The protection of watersheds, contribution
against land degradation and desertification, protection of
ecosystems services, synergy between Rio conventions ....
• Demonstration Potential at scale: FIP is about supporting
models of intervention on the ground that can show
measurable results and that are replicable. Drylands /
savannah / woodlands cover most of Africa and the challenges
are similar across countries. Hence, the interventions in
Burkina have a great potential of creating replicable
knowledge to other countries.View entire presentation
