Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (Burkina Faso)

ACTED has been present in Burkina Faso since July 2019 through humanitarian actions in the North, North-Central, Central and Sahel (Soum) regions. Our objective is to provide a multisectoral emergency response to displaced families and vulnerable host communities through three essential sectors, in close coordination with the humanitarian actors present in the region.

Water, Hygiene and Sanitation support
Support for the construction of Shelters and Essential Household Goods and the distribution of livelihood opportunities (in the form of non-food items and cash transfers).
Assistance in Food Protection and Safety
Support to governance in IDP sites through support/strengthening of community and leadership/empowerment systems.
The current intervention is part of a more global stabilisation programme, in line with ACTED’s commitment to the Humanitarian-Development Nexus. It also intends to replicate the regional approach of the organization (also present in Mali and Niger) in Burkina Faso.

For the implementation of its projects, ACTED has opened an office in the capital (Ouagadougou), as well as two field bases in Ouahigouya (Northern region) and Kaya (Central-Northern region).
