Burkina Faso - Decentralised Rural Development Support Project in the Provinces of Gnagna and Kourittenga (PADER-GK)

The present intervention concerns the Decentralised Rural Development Support Project in the Provinces of Gnagna and Kourittenga (PADER-GK). It’s in line with the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper, the National Food Security Strategy and the Rural Development Strategy. It will contribute to improving food security through the development and utilisation of insufficiently tapped water potentials notably by developing small-scale irrigation, which has had significant impact on poverty reduction. The project will enable beneficiary producers to increase their net yields while implementing a farming method which does not degrade soil fertility. It will subsequently increase production by about 10,500 tons of food products (rice, sorghum, millet, corn) and 2,400 tons of vegetables. The key components of the Project are: (A) Rural Infrastructure, (B) Local Capacity Building, and (C) Project Management.
