Summary
In 2023, the World Food Programme's response in Burkina Faso remained essential as the country grappled with another challenging year marked by escalating armed conflict and a surge in violence. In response to the dire humanitarian situation, WFP continued to target people the most food insecure people, providing them with unconditional life-saving food and nutrition assistance. Internally displaced persons comprised nearly 40 percent of the total beneficiaries assisted during the year, whereas they accounted for 20 percent of those reached through conditional activities aimed at creating and rehabilitating productive assets, such as agricultural lands for cultivation. In 2023, WFP reached over 3.1 million women, men, girls, and boys across its activities in Burkina Faso - marking a significant increase compared to the 2.1 million people assisted in 2022. Women and girls represented 53 percent of those assisted. Strengthening national institutions and systems remained a priority for WFP, particularly in the fields of disaster risk management and social protection.
