Burkina Faso - Decentralised and Participatory Rural Development Project in the Bazéga and Kadiogo Provinces (PDRDP)

The Decentralised and Participatory Rural Development Project in the Bazéga and Kadiogo Provinces (PDRDP) is part of the National Land Management Programme (PNGT). It was designed because of the need to improve the living environment of the populations of the provinces of Bazéga and Kadiogo. The increase in production following project implementation will contribute to reducing poverty prevailing in the project zone and to strengthening food security. In addition, the project will have a positive impact by increasing per capita income and purchasing power. This situation will bring about significant changes in the household expenditure structure. The major components of the project are : A) improvement of systems of production, B) natural resource development and management, C) improvement of living conditions, D) reinforcing local capacities and E) Project management.
