BURKINA FASO CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013
1. SUMMARYThe 2012 Sahel food and nutrition crisis severely affected Burkina Faso. According to a WFP/Government assessment, the crisis affected more than 2.8 million people, mainly due to poor harvests caused by sparse and erratic rainfall.
On 1 March 2012, the Government declared a national emergency based on the agricultural deficits in 2011 and 2012. An eight-month consolidated appeal for Burkina Faso was launched in May 2012.
Despite regular rainfall since July 2012, households’ food security remains fragile. Vulnerable communities’ assets are exhausted, highlighting the need to continue supporting food-insecure people and helping to restore their livelihoods. The severe depletion of very poor and poor households’ assets has seriously harmed their food-security situation beyond the next harvest into 2013, leaving them vulnerable to further shocks.
The situation is complicated by the influx of Malian refugees into Burkina Faso due to political violence in northern Mali in early 2012. According to UNHCR, 35,859 Malian refugees were registered in Burkina Faso as of 31 October 2012. Most are in the Sahel region in Oudalan and Soum provinces, which were already seriously affected by the drought. Multi-sectoral assistance for 50,000 people is urgently needed for 2013.
This Consolidated Appeal will contribute to the Government’s efforts to provide humanitarian aid to the most vulnerable communities, ensuring greater links with development programmes so as to build medium- to long-term resilience to recurrent shocks.

Crisis description
Drivers of crisis: The food insecurity and nutrition crisis in the Sahel region has severely hit Burkina Faso, affecting more than 2.8 million people in 2012.
Despite regular and sufficient rainfall since July 2012, households’ food security is expected to remain fragile.
The on-going food and nutrition situation in Burkina Faso has been exacerbated by the refugee influx following the outbreak of political violence in northern Mali.
Needs Profile:In the Sahelian area of Burkina Faso, 90% of the population is dependent upon agriculture and livestock as a means of living,
In 2012 GAM rate is 10.9% at the national level, compared to 10.3% in 2011. The regions of Centre North, East, North, Centre and Boucle de Mouhoun had the highest GAM rates at 13.6%, 12.6%, 12.2%, 11.8% and 11.1% respectively.
If fighting in Mali resumes, up to 130,000 individuals could seek asylum in Burkina Faso. The majority of the current population is nomadic and consists of three tribes: the Arab, Tuareg and Bella tribes.

2. 2012 IN REVIEW
Achievement of 2012 strategic objectives
Strategic objective #1
Provide life-saving assistance to communities suffering from or threatened by food insecurity
Progress towards Objective 1:
Erratic and sparse rainfall led to poor harvests for the 2011/12 season across the region, which increased food prices. The cereal deficit was estimated at 154,462 mt. Results from a WFP/Government Emergency Food Security Assessment (EFSA April 2012), conducted across 10 regions, indicated that 3.5 million people were food-insecure, of whom 1.5 million were severely food-insecure.
The Government launched its Response Plan, “Plan Opérationnel de Soutien aux Populations Vulnérables aux Crises Alimentaires,” in December 2011. A revised draft was issued in April 2012, indicating a requirement of approximately $224 million to cover identified needs in food assistance, nutrition, farming and livestock. The plan encompassed four phases:
Phase 1 (January to March): mitigation actions to be implemented in 99 communes for 994,936 expected vulnerable people.
Phase 2 (April to June): mitigation and response actions to be implemented in 185 communes at risk for 2,065,738 expected vulnerable people.
Phase 3 (July to September): response actions to be implemented in 198 communes expected to be at risk targeting 2,850,000 beneficiaries.
Phase 4 (September to December): recovery and rehabilitation actions.
At the regional level, the United Nations’ Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs’ Regional Office for West and Central Africa (ROWCA) facilitated the development of a region-wide strategy paper titled “Response Plan for a Food Security and Nutrition Crisis in the Sahel” (15 December 2011, revised 7 February 2012), under the leadership of the regional Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC). The paper was prepared by the Regional Food Security and Nutrition Working Group. It includes country-specific details, including for Burkina Faso. Based on this strategy, humanitarian partners at the regional and national levels began preparations for the response. A Regional Humanitarian Coordinator was also appointed in April 2012 to oversee the response to the crisis at the regional level.
Sector Achievements
Food Assistance 2,275,500 food-insecure people (415,633 households) were supported by the sector in ten regions affected by the food crisis. More specifically, 1,057,000 people were assisted through food distributions (24 500 metric tons / MT), 818,000 people through cash transfers (8 billion CFA francs, = $15,810, 277) and the remaining 1,875,000 through other means.
Partners’ interventions were in line with the Government’s Response Plan. (The cereal deficit was estimated at 154,000 tons. As of June this year, 43.94% of food-assistance

needs were covered in line with the mid-term review of the Government response plan.) Data on partners’ intervention was consolidated and analysed through the compilation of the sector’s matrix, “Who does what where,” and through mapping interventions.
Six coordination meetings were held in partnership with the Conseil National de Sécurite Alimentaire (CNSA).
Agriculture 44,543 households were supported in food crop production (provision of food crop seeds complemented with technical training) in five most affected regions.
Support to animal husbandry was provided in the form of 3,615 tons of animal feed, veterinary drugs and vaccines in order to improve their health status and avoid animal disease and deaths.
Institutional support was provided to CNSA (recruitment of additional staff, support to functioning).
Health In recent years, Burkina Faso has faced high morbidity and mortality owing to epidemic diseases (including meningitis, cholera and measles). In 2012, the country simultaneously faced a meningitis outbreak resulting in 5,300 suspected cases that included 553 deaths (case fatality rate of 10%) and a measles outbreak resulting in 7,607 suspected cases that included 30 deaths (case fatality rate of 0.39%).
In addition to strengthening disease surveillance and case management during outbreaks, a reactive immunization campaign was conducted in three health districts (Gourcy, Séguénéga and Tougan) with “polysaccharidic tetravalent” vaccine ACYW135 acquired through the International Coordinating Group on Vaccine Provision for Epidemic Meningitis Control and administered to 284,218 children (aged 2 to 14 years).
In response to the measles outbreak with 7,607 reported suspected cases that included 30 deaths (case fatality rate of 0.39%), an immunization campaign was conducted among the refugees in 8 districts (Gorom, Djibo, Nongremassom and Diapaga, Nouna, Tougan, Gourcy and Houndé).
A national health emergency preparedness and response plan was developed by the Ministry of Health with support from WHO, UNICEF and MSF.
WASH 22,500 WASH kits were procured and are being distributed to families attending SAM screening and/or treatment.
35 boreholes being rehabilitated in health centres and schools.
Child Protection 1,234 health workers, caregivers and community based animators trained in psycho-social assistance in emergencies in the context of the nutrition crisis.
23 trainers trained in psycho-social assistance in emergencies. 7,071 refugee children assisted through psycho-social assistance, recreational activities
and sensitisation sessions on child protection in emergency issues such as child labour, child marriage, child recruitment by armed groups and armed forces, and family separation.
921 children (468 boys and 453 girls) identified as unaccompanied and separated by UNHCR during the phase 2 census in all official refugee sites and in the course of verification.
28 children victims of child rights violations provided with holistic assistance (psycho-social, medical, protection).
82 governmental and non-governmental implementing partners trained in child protection in emergency, unaccompanied and separated children identification and family reunification, risks and impact of child recruitment, and other grave child rights violations and prevention methods.
Coordination Several inter-sector coordination meetings were organized. A “who does what and where” matrix was produced. The Humanitarian Forum was set up. It gathers national NGOs, civil society
representatives and the Red Cross Movement and provides a platform for information exchange and coordination strengthening. OCHA ensures linkages between the Humanitarian Forum and inter-sector coordination.
The inter-agency contingency planning task force was set up following an inter-sector meeting with designated members from each sector/UN agency.
An ad hoc task force for the floods was set up which includes Government bodies. The

Strategic objective #2
Provide life-saving assistance to children under age 5 with moderate or severe acute malnutrition (MAM or SAM) through integrated management of acute malnutrition and through the provision of health-integrated packages to children under age 5 and pregnant or lactating women in the affected areas.
Progress towards Objective 2:
UNICEF figures indicate that 100,000 children under age 5 suffer from GAM, with a prevalence rate of 10.2 (above the global threshold of 10%).
The current trend indicates an improvement of care provided to children suffering acute malnutrition in terms of coverage and quality of the services. Nutrition activities included the treatment and prevention of acute malnutrition for children under age 5 and pregnant and lactating women (PLW). Moreover, by creating a Directorate for Food and Nutritional Quality of Food within the Ministry of Agriculture and Water and a Directorate of Nutrition within the Ministry of Health, the Government showed commitment to ensuring an adequate response to malnutrition-related issues.
An MOU was signed in early September 2012 between UNICEF and WFP to increase the coverage of treatment of acute malnutrition; reduce chronic malnutrition among children under age 5 through food fortification and IYCF activities; monitor the nutrition situation; and improve agencies’ coordination of monitoring and evaluation activities. UNICEF and WFP will conduct complementary activities in the same geographical areas to tackle acute malnutrition. They will also conduct joint field-monitoring missions and an annual review of shared programmes.

1,032 community health workers and nutrition focal points trained on first aid psycho-social assistance to children and mothers affected by SAM.
Strategic objective #3
Provide multi-sectoral support to refugees and host communities
Progress towards Objective 3:
The ongoing food and nutrition crisis in West Africa’s Sahel region has been exacerbated by political violence in northern Mali which started in early 2012. According to UNHCR, 35,859 Malian refugees (9,087 families) were registered in Burkina Faso as of 31 October 2012. Most have arrived in the Sahel region in the drought-affected provinces of Oudalan and Soum, where they received multi-sectoral assistance, as outlined in the table below.
Since February 2012, weekly meetings have been organized in Ouagadougou under the leadership of UNHCR and the Commission Nationale pour les Réfugiés (National Commission for Refugees / CONAREF) and with other Government counterparts, United Nations (UN) agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), donors and the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. This regular interaction has identified gaps by sector and prevented the duplication of activities. A web portal for disseminating and sharing information has been created and is regularly updated (http://data.unhcr.org/MaliSituation/).
Since the relief operation for refugees began, UNHCR and partners focused their activities on life-saving priorities in order to provide assistance and protection to Malian refugees in Burkina Faso. The five priority sectors were food, water and sanitation, health, shelter and protection. Today, refugees are settled in six official refugee sites identified by the Burkina Faso Government; in other spontaneous sites located in the northern Sahel region of the country; and in Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso, which are the two most populous cities. A Registration Level II exercise started on 26 July 2012 and lasted for two months. It gave the operation more-refined data and ensured that the refugee population is better known and their needs understood in order to provide better protection (legal, security and socioeconomic).
The operation is preparing the two new sites of Goudebou (near Dori) and Sanioniogo (near Ouagaoudoug) as permanent sites for 2013. This represents an important activity in terms of protection, as currently about 71% of the total Malian refugee population is located near the border with Mali (less than 50km). The proximity to the border represents a potential threat to refugees: it could become a place of forced recruitment and put refugees at risk if an armed
10
BURKINA FASO CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013
intervention occurs in northern Mali. To date, the relocation operation from two camps in the Sahel (Deou and Fererio) towards Goudebou settled 1,625 refugees (380 families) in this new camp.
Core activities Achievements Gaps Lessons learnt
1. Site Management
Site management and coordination refined andImproved
Four official sites accommodate refugees which are coordinated by UNHCR and managed by a UNHCR IP. Coordination between partners working on the sites was improved.
Basic needs of refugees were covered including water. Distribution of firewood to women decreased the SGBV risks and environmental impact.
Some official camps are located too close to the borders and in areas where the provision of water is difficult (especially Gandafabou).
Provision of assistance and protection is facilitated if refugees are transferred through transit centres along the border where i) emergency aid is provided, ii) armed elements can be separated from the refugee population, iii) refugees can be registered and people with specific needs be identified.
Operation had to adapt structures to better respond to refugees’ cultural structures.

Child protection is only partially monitored.
Identification of unaccompanied or separated children is limited.
Focuses on child protection should have been a priority from the onset of the operation.
Slow mobilization of resources to ensure the implementation of protection-related activities.
Delays in deploying protection specialists have had an impact on the efficient coordination between implementing partners and on the establishment of standard operating procedure.

Review of humanitarian funding
Humanitarian agencies appealed for $126.1 million in the 2012 Consolidated Appeal for Burkina Faso for eight months.3 The appeal is funded at 68%, with $85 million received as of 15 November 2012. The overall food security and nutrition requirements ($86.9 million) were funded at 80%, while the refugee component ($30.5 million) was funded at 12% (not counting regionally-earmarked funds). A total of $59 million of humanitarian funding was recorded outside of the appeal framework, mainly for the food assistance and nutrition crisis. (As much of this was contributed before the CAP was published, it is likely that some of the recipient organizations are actually applying it to their CAP projects; more follow-up is needed on financial reporting.)
Out of the 29 appealing organizations, 21 NGOs were included in the appeal and are funded on average at 21.8%. (That figure is according to reports from official donors. It seems likely that NGOs raised and used significant private funds for their Sahel response in 2012 including Burkina Faso; such reports may be forthcoming and would raise the 2012 funding percentage.)
3 All funding information is derived from donor and recipient organization reports recorded on the Financial Tracking Service (https://fts.unocha.org ), accessed on 15 November 2012.

Funding coverage varied greatly across sectors. Four sectors are currently funded at more than 50%, with Nutrition funded at 100%, Food Assistance at 92%, Child Protection at 71%, Nutrition funded at 100% and WASH at 143%. Other sectors, received less than 35% of funding, such as Agriculture (26%) and the Multi-sector assistance for refugees (34%), as reported to the Financial Tracking Service on 15 November 2012.

BURKINA FASO CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013
3. NEEDS ANALYSISBurkina Faso has chronically high levels of food insecurity and malnutrition, which were exacerbated by the food and nutrition crisis in 2012. In addition, in early 2012, the conflict in northern Mali led to an influx of refugees into Burkina Faso, resulting in considerable humanitarian consequences in the agriculture, food assistance, early recovery, health, education, nutrition and WASH sectors.
The current needs analysis is based primarily on the WFP/Government-led Emergency Food Security Assessment (EFSA), conducted in September 2012, and the UNHCR Level II registration exercise completed in September 2012 (see Annex II for the needs assessments list).
3.1 Food security and nutrition situation
Drivers and underlying factors
Chronic Vulnerability
Burkina Faso is a landlocked country in the Sahel region of West Africa, with a population of 17 million. It is one of the world’s poorest countries, ranking 181 out of 187 countries on the Human Development Index.4 Almost half of the population (46.7%) lives below the poverty line. An assessment using the Household Economic Approach, conducted by WFP in 2012, also indicated that more than half of the households are either poor or very poor, owning no land and few animals. In addition, the annual population growth of 3.1% is placing significant pressure on natural resources, making it difficult for economic development and poverty-reduction policies to achieve results.
The context of Burkina Faso is one of chronic food insecurity. The Government’s 2011 Enquête Permanente Agricole indicated that the percentage of households chronically unable to meet their food needs increased from 30 to 34% between 2006 and 2011.
In this context of chronic poverty and food insecurity, the population remains extremely vulnerable to external shocks, such as droughts and floods, soaring food prices and regional political instability.
Climatic hazards
Burkina Faso’s population and agricultural production are highly vulnerable to weather-related shocks, which are becoming increasingly frequent and severe. In 2011, 12.1% of the population was affected by climate-related disasters, and in 2012 Burkina Faso faced its third drought in five years.5 Droughts regularly threaten the harvests of the major food and cash crops, significantly affecting the majority of people who rely on rain-fed agriculture for their livelihoods.
In addition, many areas of Burkina Faso are prone to localized flooding during the rainy season (July to October). Government figures indicate that in some areas, as many as 150,000 people were affected by floods in 2009. Destruction of crops and loss of livestock were also reported.
4 UNDP, 2011 Human Development Report.5 Annual Disaster Statistical Review 2011 – The Numbers and Trends (July 2012)
15
BURKINA FASO CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013
These frequent and severe weather shocks weakened the livelihoods and assets of households and, as a result, their ability to withstand the 2012 food crisis and future shocks. Climate change, land degradation and desertification also remain aggravating factors, particularly in areas where increasing variability in rainfall and a longer-term reduction in annual rainfall have been documented. Land degradation is especially aggravated in densely populated agricultural areas, including North and Plateau Central regions.
Decreased cereal production and high prices for basic food commodities
Burkina Faso’s cereal production for the 2011/12 agricultural season was 20% lower than the previous year. For the 10 most-affected regions, cereal production was 35% lower than the five-year average. However, this year’s crop production is estimated to be 15% higher than that of last year due to improved rainfall.
Prices were extremely high in Burkina Faso in 2011/12, with grain prices up to 70% higher in September 2012 compared with 2011 in almost all markets, notably for millet and sorghum. With the 2013 harvest, it is likely that grain prices will decrease compared with the price peaks during the lean season. However, it is also likely that price levels will remain higher than the average of the last five years. In pastoral areas, the terms of trade between the price of livestock and millet have been declining since the beginning of 2012. This makes it increasingly difficult for livestock keepers to purchase food, further increasing their food-insecurity risk.
Humanitarian consequences and caseload
The impact of the above-mentioned factors on many vulnerable households (international market fluctuations, insufficient and imbalanced agricultural production rates, climatic shocks, and high prices for basic food commodities) has led to tenuous living situations in 2012.
Food insecurity
According to Government estimates, 2,850,000 people were at risk of malnutrition at the third 2012 trimester.
When facing food insecurity, households often resort to coping mechanisms: selling productive assets and food stocks, borrowing food or money, migrating to other areas in search of work, shifting to non-agricultural activities such as mining, or reducing the quality and quantity of food consumed. Many of these coping strategies corrode households’ livelihoods, leading to a persistent cycle of food insecurity and malnutrition lasting beyond the crisis. Households headed by women and elderly people tend to be more food-insecure, especially those living in rural areas. As a consequence, they tend to face higher protection risks.
Despite regular and sufficient rainfall during the 2012 rainy season, household food security is expected to remain fragile as vulnerable people’s assets are exhausted from coping with the 2011/2012 food crisis. This highlights the need to support rural development and build households’ livelihoods in order to improve their resilience to shocks. It is therefore expected that the severe depletion of very poor and poor households’ assets will have serious consequences on their food-security situation beyond the next harvest into 2013 and leave them vulnerable to further shocks.
In the Sahelian area of Burkina Faso, 90% of the population depends on agriculture and livestock for their livelihoods. Farmers in the northern area of the country are particularly vulnerable to the impact of shortages. The scarce and sporadic rainfall during the 2011 agricultural season led to the high food-crop deficit and low forage production. These shocks, combined with deteriorating
16
BURKINA FASO CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013
vegetation caused by over-exploitation, led to livestock-feeding difficulties during the dry season, with many animals suffering from undernutrition. As a result, the weakened state of livestock over many months led to reduced levels of milk and meat production and an increase in the animals’ susceptibility to various diseases, creating higher mortality rates. This impact on livestock directly affects women (particularly those who are pregnant or lactating) and children (particularly children under age 5) in the following ways: (i) the global household revenue is reduced following the high animal-mortality rates and the consequent lower meat and milk production; (ii) the decrease in milk production affects the health of children under age 5; (iii) the decrease in milk production also affects women’s revenue as they are responsible for selling and processing milk. Rural farmers, particularly those who are vulnerable, have attempted to sustain their families by selling their livestock.
Malnutrition
A significant outcome of Burkina Faso’s chronic food insecurity is the high level of acute and chronic malnutrition in children, with a high prevalence of malnutrition in the lean season and post-harvest. This situation particularly affects the poorest households and the most vulnerable people, especially children and women. It has been estimated that the nutrition crisis will cause severe acute malnutrition for some 100,000 children under 5 (52,000 girls and 48,000 boys). These children will need to be identified through community screening and treated through the national health system’s existing structures (community health centres, and district, regional and national hospitals).
Preliminary results from a SMART survey conducted between September and October 2012 indicated a GAM rate of 10.9% at the national level, compared with 10.3% in 2011 and 10.7% in 2009. The Centre North, East, North, Centre and Boucle de Mouhoun regions had the highest GAM rates at 13.6, 12.6, 12.2, 11.8 and 11.1% respectively. Stunting levels have also not improved since 2008; they remain above the “serious” threshold at 33%.
Micronutrient deficiency levels are also high in Burkina Faso: 88% of children under age 5 and approximately half of pregnant (58%) and lactating (50%) women are anaemic. The poor nutrition status of women and children tends to worsen mortality rates among these groups. The child-mortality rate was 65 per 1,000 children in 2010, and the maternal-mortality rate is 341 per 100,000 women in 2012.
3.2 Refugee crisis
Following the outbreak of political violence in northern Mali which started in early 2012, 35,859 Malians refugees settled in the north of the country. UNHCR and CONAREF conducted individual registrations of the refugee population in September 2012 to update Malian refugees’ population figure in Burkina Faso. This Level II registration has revised the refugee population figure from 107,000 to 35,859.
Refugees are expected to arrive in small numbers. Their arrivals will be registered by the Registration Level II mechanism set up in camps. Towards the end of the year, 40,000 refugees are expected to be in Burkina Faso. This figure is expected to increase to 50,000 towards the end of 2013, making this the planning figure for the operation in 2013. Contingency planning is also under way in order to prepare for possible refugee influxes in case of a military intervention in northern Mali.
17
BURKINA FASO CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013
Humanitarian consequences and population
The majority of the incoming population is nomadic, originating from the north of Mali and primarily consisting of three tribes: the Arab, Tuareg and Bella tribes. The Government officially recognizes seven sites as refugee camps, but refugees have also settled spontaneously in seven unofficial sites throughout the country, the majority of which are in the Sahel region. Refugees have chosen to remain there for historical and water-availability reasons, and because of access to grazing land for their livestock. Some refugee camps are located less than 50 km from the border with Mali, which raises security concerns. Therefore, UNHCR’s priority for 2013 will be to relocate refugees to new camps at a safer distance from the border (>50 km), such as Goudebou (on the outskirts of Dori) and Saag Nioniogo (on the outskirts of Ouagadougou). A small minority, mostly originating from Bamako, have chosen to flee to urban centres, such as Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso.
Children compose 54% of the refugee population, while 49% are women and girls. This presents a group of potentially highly vulnerable people. Since the majority of these people have neither income nor productive assets, they have resorted to negative coping mechanisms such as reducing the number of meals or changing consumption patterns. Therefore, the refugee population is entirely dependent on food distributions to meet their food requirements, as confirmed by recent WFP post-distribution monitoring missions in September and October 2012.
In addition, and according to FAO estimates, refugees have brought about 50,000 animals, mainly small ruminants and cattle. These animals have been weakened by the long travel and food scarcity, and natural pasture and water for local livestock are lacking following insufficient rainfall during the 2011 rainy season. The presence of refugees and their livestock in the Sahel region has placed an additional burden on local and scarce natural resources (water, land, pasture and food) and an additional strain on basic social services, such as medical facilities and schools. It is feared that refugees’ increased presence could lead to greater tensions with host communities over grazing land, rising food prices and reduced food availability in local markets.

Humanitarian access
The evolving security situation in the Sahel could have serious humanitarian consequences in Burkina Faso and affect the operating environment of national actors and the international community. In northern Mali, the process of planning the deployment of African troops to restore the integrity of this part of the Malian territory is ongoing. Meanwhile, Jihadist groups have threatened the United Nations and troop-contributing countries, such as Burkina Faso.
Due to the borders’ porosity and the proliferation of light weapons in the West Africa subregion, mitigating measures must be implemented regarding terrorist action likely to be undertaken by
21
BURKINA FASO CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013
AQMI, Ansar Den, MUJAO and Boko Haram. Therefore, UN and humanitarian personnel’s movement in the field, mainly in the Sahel region, need reinforced security.
Due to the security situation in the Sahel, the UN and the Government have implemented armed escorts in the regions bordering northern Mali. Currently there is no radio room operating 24/7 in Burkina Faso, and the tracking of humanitarian actors remains inadequate. An intervention team is required for the UN Security operation centre in Dori that could rescue UN staff and implementing partners in an emergency and deal with kidnapping threats.
However, the UN system has committed to establishing a radio room operating 24/7 in Dori (the capital of Sahel) and Ouagadougou. Both radio rooms are expected to be functional by January 2013.
In this context, the respect of humanitarian principles and good civil-military coordination remain essential to ensure the protection of humanitarian space. The necessary security measures for all humanitarian actors, in accordance with all humanitarian laws and principles, will be implemented.
The humanitarian strategy and strategic objectives
Explanation of strategy
The 2013 CAP will seek to continue contributing to the Government’s efforts to provide humanitarian aid to the most vulnerable communities affected by the food, nutritional or refugee crises. Based on the most likely scenario, the CAP considers current humanitarian needs as well as the likely developments in 2013, not only to ensure that affected people’s basic needs are met, but that mitigating activities and potential cross-cutting issues are implemented and addressed.
The strategy and key indicators determined by these priorities are detailed in the sector response plans within Agriculture, Food Assistance, Health, Multi-sector (refugees), Education, Nutrition, Protection, WASH and Coordination Sectors. Gender and other cross-cutting issues will be mainstreamed in all programming.
The strategic objectives and/or priorities have been agreed by the humanitarian community, in close consultation with Government authorities, NGOs and humanitarian donors in Burkina Faso, with a view to covering humanitarian needs through timely, coordinated activities. Projects included in the 2013 appeal will be based on the following objectives, as agreed by the HCT, under the RC/HC’s leadership.
Objective 1:
Provide humanitarian aid to communities suffering from or threatened by food insecurity, while capitalizing on opportunities in the emergency response to foster the self-reliance and resilience capacity of affected people and rebuild livelihoods for implementing time-critical early recovery activities.
Objective 2:
Provide humanitarian aid to 100,000 children under 5 with SAM and 430,000 children under 5 with MAM in 2013.
Objective 3:
22
BURKINA FASO CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013
To prevent and control outbreaks and reduce morbidity and mortality rates.
23
BURKINA FASO CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013
Objective 4:
Provide multi-sector support to current refugees and potential influx of refugees from Mali and/or potential displacements and support to host communities.
Integrating resilience in the CAP strategy
To better assist communities to cope with risks and sustainably recover from recurrent crises, resilience-related issues will be addressed in a cross-cutting manner. In this perspective, the sector leads and their partners will ensure that resilience is incorporated in every sector’s strategy. This approach is to create a synergy between the humanitarian responses and development activities while reducing the gap between these types of responses and eventually ensuring adequate humanitarian space. Therefore, this process needs to start as early as possible during a crisis.
Just as emergency relief activities are crucial to saving lives by addressing the most urgent humanitarian needs, using an early-recovery approach within the CAP strategy is crucial in the successful efforts of a community to recover and build resilience. It will also be a basis for an effective exit strategy for humanitarian actors and contribute to durable solutions by establishing the base on which nationally-led development occurs. Although the humanitarian system should not be the primary channel for resilience-building activities, it makes an important contribution in a crisis situation and during the recovery phase. In light of this consideration, and mindful of communities’ heightened vulnerability to shocks, as well as the need to support national institutions to respond to current and future crises, the United Nations Resident Coordinator in his Humanitarian Coordinator capacity has asked UN agencies and NGOs to introduce resilience-building activities into the 2013 CAP. Discussions are ongoing between humanitarian actors to integrate resilience into early response and medium- and longer-term programming in line with each organization’s specific mandate in emergency response and development, and to support the Government’s priorities.
In addition, regional actors based in Dakar, in collaboration with the Humanitarian Coordinators in the affected countries of the Sahel, have elaborated a guidance note to harmonize the humanitarian strategies at the national and regional levels. The note includes common regional strategic objectives, objectives for resilience-building, coordinated and harmonized needs assessments and agreed key performance indicators. It has served as the basis for this appeal.

Explanation of the number of targeted beneficiaries
The food and nutrition crisis in 2012 exacerbated the chronically high levels of food insecurity and malnutrition found in Burkina Faso. Furthermore, though forecasts for the harvest of the 2012 agricultural season are favourable due to sufficient and evenly distributed rainfall, households’ assets remain exhausted from coping with the impact of the food and nutrition crisis. Negative coping strategies that communities resort to during times of food insecurity include selling off productive assets and livestock, borrowing money and shifting to non-agricultural activities such as mining, all of which have a negative impact on households’ livelihoods, leading to persistent cycle of food insecurity. These coping strategies indicate the need to invest in helping communities recover from the crisis and building their capacity to withstand shocks in order to prevent them from resorting to these measures. An improvement of the food security situation in Burkina Faso requires the humanitarian community, in line with the Government, to respond to frequent food security and nutrition crises caused by climatic and economic shocks, to rebuild livelihoods affected by these shocks, and to strengthen the resilience of affected communities. Areas and numbers of beneficiaries to be assisted will be selected based upon needs determined by the various partners and specified in the selected projects.
How the sector response plan will contribute to the strategic objectives
The sector response programme in Burkina Faso aims to integrate a regional approach focused on the livelihoods of vulnerable populations and disaster risk reduction and management so as to form a sustainable support strategy for improving the resilience of people. Resilience is a key strategic concept for the agricultural sector. The ability to prevent disasters and crises and to anticipate, absorb, and efficiently recover from disasters in a timely and sustainable manner will strengthen the vulnerable Sahelian population. Activities will include protecting, restoring and improving structures and functions of food and agricultural systems under threat through the support to the (i) crop farmers (off-season vegetable production), (ii) cattle farmers including improved animal health.

Explanation of number of beneficiaries targeted
Burkina Faso relies predominantly on its agricultural economy, based primarily on farming and animal breeding and thus vulnerable to climate conditions and to fluctuations of the international prices of raw materials. The sporadic and geographically unbalanced rainfalls during the 2011 agricultural season, worsened by the continuous trend of high food prices as well as the important influx of Malian refugees, has led to very poor food security indicators (acute malnutrition with a prevalence rate of nearly 30%), livestock feeding difficulties and under nutrition. Rural farmers, particularly those that are vulnerable, have attempted to sustain their families by selling their seeds and livestock. Although the food security pressures are likely to ease following a reasonable 2012 raining season, the impact of high food prices and the past year’s insufficient and imbalanced agricultural production rates have led to a tenuous living situation for many vulnerable households’ members (starting with children). This situation affects especially the poorest households, many of them mono-parental households with women as heads of families, and the most vulnerable people, especially children and women. As for the arable crops, the final figures on the 2012 harvest estimates will be published during the first quarter of 2013. The new figures will be reflected in the mid-year review of this response plan and the targeted beneficiaries of 70,310 people will be adjusted accordingly.
How the sector response plan will contribute to the strategic objectives
Sector response programme in Burkina Faso aims to integrate a regional approach focused on the livelihoods of vulnerable populations and disaster risk reduction and management so as to form a sustainable support strategy for improving the resilience of people. Resilience is a key strategic concept for the Agricultural Sector. The ability to prevent disasters and crises or to anticipate, absorb, accommodate or recover from disaster impact in a timely, efficient and sustainable manner is the way to strengthen the vulnerable Sahelian population in a context high food prices and past year’s insufficient and imbalanced agricultural production rates that had led

How the sector response plan will contribute to the strategic objectives
During 2012, the Nutrition Sector proved high capacities of coordination to respond to the food and nutrition crisis, ensuring harmonisation of all intervention of the different actors (UN agencies, NGOs, CSOs), avoiding duplication of actions and preventing wasting of funds. All interventions were implemented in support to the national health system and through existing community structures. This strategy allowed attending to 100% of SAM caseload and 100% of MAM target (up to September 2012).
In 2013, good coordination of all actors will still be ensured by the Nutrition sector lead, UNICEF, together with ACF (co-lead), WHO, FAO, WFP and ECHO. Coordination and planning ahead for 2013 already started within the Nutrition Sector, in order to ensure continuity and efficiency in SAM and MAM management. In 2013, 100,000 SAM children and 305,000 MAM children will be targeted. This represents a challenge concerning fundraising and coordination, which the Nutrition Sector is ready to take on. Monitoring and evaluation will be ensured through the recently established monthly reporting system on SAM and MAM management, as well as through the national nutrition survey (SMART).

Explanation of number of beneficiaries targeted
The 2012 Sahel crisis and recent floods have left communities and local institutions with very limited capacity to respond to future shocks. The erosion of their resilience capacity over the years has now become evident. In addition to ensuring critical food security and improved nutrition, communities need to diversify and restore their livelihoods, improve the feeling of belonging to a community and reduce the emergence of violent conflict due to harsh competition between pastoral and agricultural populations over natural resources and building on peaceful dispute resolution mechanism. Furthermore, the Mali refugees crisis has put additional stress on already limited availability of natural resources (land, water and livestock), shrinking the spectrum of critical livelihood strategies available to the hosting communities.
Prioritisation of early recovery activities in each sector of the CAP 2013 promotes resilience among individuals and communities and builds capacity for the locally/nationally owned recovery response. As such, early recovery activities, by preparing the ground for longer term recovery and development, laid the foundation for resilience. Projects presented by NGOs and UN agencies in the CAP 2013 are in line with response plans developed by the leading UN agencies and contain time-critical early recovery activities. In the Food Security Sector, WFP promotes the restoration of agricultural-based livelihood while supporting the Government in monitoring the food security situation. By addressing the impact of high food prices and past years' insufficient and imbalanced agricultural production rates, FAO promotes nutrition and diversification of agricultural production, while UNICEF addresses acute malnutrition in children and PLW and child protection, all of which are critical issues to minimise their vulnerability to future shocks. Mindful of the critical role played by education in ensuring recovery and strengthening resilience, UNICEF also targets refugee children with psycho-social support and educational and training opportunities. WHO prioritises disease prevention and control and provides time critical support to health districts, focusing also on reproductive health/HIV/GBV issues. UNDP’s early recovery approach is the result of a gap analysis carried out in consultation with both UN agencies, NGOs and national institutions and covers needs that are not fully or comprehensively addressed by other sectors. UNDP focuses on increasing disaster resilience by generating non-farm income opportunities for women and youth, promotes community cohesion which provides safety nets for the most vulnerable, while also facilitating peaceful conflict resolution mechanisms and
38
BURKINA FASO CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013
reinforcing the role of national governmental actors in providing essential public services and addressing disaster preparedness. Finally, OCHA and UNDSS ensure effective coordination at the strategic level and safety and security to humanitarian operations on the ground. Resilience-building is both a challenge and an opportunity for the Burkina Faso UN Country Team, humanitarian and development partners, and the Government of Burkina Faso, all of whom are joining efforts and coming together under the present Consolidated Appeal Process for 2013.
Target beneficiaries are communities affected by pockets of drought (food insecurity), refugees’ influx and by floods.
Early recovery interventions will focus on five regions: the Sahel and Nord regions severely affected by food and refugee crisis and Centre-Nord, Est and Centre-Est regions hit by recent floods. Numbers of final beneficiaries to be assisted will be selected based upon needs determined by the various partners and specified in the selected projects.
How the sector response plan will contribute to the strategic objectives.
The overall aim of the early recovery sector response plan is to contribute to the achievement of strategic objective number one and hence to support local institutions to manage risks and recovery and most vulnerable communities to become resilient and recover from drought, floods and additional stress posed by the presence of refugees from Mali.
In order for communities to become resilient and therefore be able to withstand and recover from shocks, resilience building actions must start at the early recovery level and be a community based response with strong linkages to local institutions.
The following early recovery and resilience-building activities are community-based and will build upon existing and on-going activities where synergies and added value can be achieved:
Non-farm livelihoods and income recovery: promotion of diversification of income, e.g. boosting leather based production, handicraft (building upon existing training centre and programs), conduct vocational trainings (e.g. bakery, embroidery, tailoring, pottery, bricks manufacturing, etc.) with linkages to the local market economy including the mining sector where applicable and relevant in order to lessen the conflict potential by providing alternative livelihoods strategies. Promotion of micro and small enterprise recovery and/or start up through short-cycle business-management training, cash grants, access to microfinance schemes and coaching with a focus on women headed households; girls and other vulnerable groups, including people living with HIV or disabled and elderly people;
Support local governance, community-based disaster risk reduction (DRR) and coordination (CONASUR);
Activities aimed at promoting/building social cohesion, social integration and conflict prevention on natural resources management (land, water and livestock), following a community based conflict analysis identifying peaceful dispute resolution mechanisms at the community and local governance levels. Introduction of social and community-based safety nets for vulnerable people and those with special needs. Identify and counteract detrimental coping mechanisms such as child labour or survival sex, and develop appropriate preventive and responsive measures in collaboration with communities, authorities and other relevant actors, and support cash grants and emergency social protection schemes for these groups and for those who cannot work;
39
BURKINA FASO CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013
Promote self and/or assisted house reconstruction for vulnerable people through technical and financial support to targeted households to improve building techniques using the same “banco” traditional system;
Restore critical minor (small-scale) infrastructure at the community level that are essential for initiating local recovery processes through labour-intensive technologies and micro-enterprises that generate employment;
Support active participation of women and women’s organizations in all aspects of early recovery. Build the capacity of women and women’s organizations to ensure their active and equal participation;
Ensure mainstreaming of environment, gender and human rights as cross cutting issues; in particular raise awareness and build capacities of communities and authorities in the prevention of GBV and actions to minimize adverse impacts on the environment and through actions such as awareness campaign, public information meetings.

Explanation of number of beneficiaries targeted
Following decisions on the planning of military interventions of the ECOWAS in the north of Mali, contingency planning takes into account the possible further escalation of the conflict and an estimated 50,000 refugees may flee to Burkina Faso until the end of 2013, including up to 20,000 refugee children, adolescents and women in need of special protection measures. A significant number of separated and unaccompanied children (2.3%, amounting to around 2,350 children) are anticipated with urgent needs of identification, registration, family tracing, temporary care and family reunification.
There also remain high concerns on children, both refugees and in host communities at risk of and affected by violence, the worst forms of child labour, trafficking and recruitment and use by armed forces and armed groups, including in neighbouring countries.
In addition to the urgent need to reinforce systems for identification, registration and monitoring of unaccompanied, separated and refugee children and women require on-going and specific protection and assistance, notably those at risk or subject to abuse, violence and exploitation.
The response targets a 60,000 both refugee and host community children, boys and girls, and youth at risk of abuse, violence and exploitation, including 20,000 refugee children among whom an estimated 600 unaccompanied and separated children.
How the sector response plan will contribute to the strategic objectives
The response plan will contribute to providing multi-sector support to current refugees and a potential influx of refugees from Mali and/or potential displacements as well as support to host communities. More specifically, the child protection thematic group will target the enhancement of prevention and protection measures for the most vulnerable girls, boys, youth and women from violence, abuse, exploitation and the increase of their resilience. All projects included in this response plan will be aligned with this objective. The response plan will serve as a continued means of support for vulnerable refugee and host communities, and more specifically children and women, which builds upon the achievements made in 2012.

How the sector response plan will contribute to the strategic objectives
The 2012 food insecurity and malnutrition crises along with the influx of refugees from Mali and other disasters such as floods, affected thousands of households in the country. The magnitude and recurrence of some of these crises have dire consequences on populations’ coping mechanisms, reducing their ability to adapt and absorb recurrent shocks. Despite the positive prospects of harvests in 2013, thousands of households will remain extremely vulnerable and will require support to rebuild their livelihoods. The situation in Mali might also have serious implications on the vulnerability of communities while the risk for Burkina Faso to face other disasters, such us floods remains high.
In this multifaceted context, and after the establishment of its Humanitarian Advisory Team (HAT) in March 2012, OCHA continued to increase its capacity in Burkina Faso in order to better support the HC, the HCT and national authorities in their preparedness and response efforts.
For 2013, OCHA’s team in Burkina Faso will continue to maintain and strengthen coordination of humanitarian activities and to provide the full range of OCHA services to the humanitarian community. In addition, in order to increase its support to humanitarian partners in their response, OCHA envisages expanding its presence, notably in the north of the country (Dori area) where food insecurity and refugee settlements require enhanced coordination.

The challenges and strategies to UNHCR’s operations in Burkina Faso
Following the crisis in Mali, which started in January 2012, UNHCR deployed an emergency team to assist the Government of Burkina Faso to respond to the refugee influx and to identify the needs of the incoming refugees. In response, as of February 2012, UNHCR’s presence in Burkina Faso rapidly increased its presence in order to address the protection and assistance needs of the rapidly growing refugee population.
Today, due to the on-going crisis in Mali, refugees continue to seek asylum and international protection in Burkina Faso while more refugees continue to enter the country, at a rate of 1,000 per month.
Several challenges to the organisation of the camps remain: staff capacity shortages have encumbered the refugee registration process, leading to a downward revision of the beneficiary population with the level 2 registration (between July and September 2012) by more than 50%. Difficulties of access to spontaneous refugee sites as well as multiple registrations due to the clan-like and semi-nomadic nature of the refugee population may have biased the figures during the level 1 registration. Following the Level II registration, these problems have been partially remedied through the institution of a continuous registration process. This will allow for a continuous update of accurate statistics on the refugee population.
As a result, the operation can now improve its existing focus on the five lifesaving priorities established since the start of the crisis (Protection, WASH, Health, Food and Shelter), by tailoring its responses to the specific needs of refugee women, men, boys, girls and elderly people.
59
BURKINA FASO CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013
To improve the protection provided to its refugees, UNHCR is currently focussing on re-locating the refugees in the Sahel region, towards camps further away from the Malian border.
In terms of WASH, the focus will be on reaching post-emergency standards. A significant gap exists as the region is semi-arid and of difficult access to water. In health, malaria and cholera remain a huge challenge in the camps. The provision of food rations must be ensured and the lack of certain food items must be avoided. In shelter, UNHCR is offering traditional shelters to the refugees who remained unaccustomed to the UNHCR tents and plastic sheeting provided. The specific strategies for each sector are presented below.
Strategy and proposed activities
I. Protection/registration
The relocation exercise is the principal protection activity which will take the refugee population to a safer settlement further away from the Malian border (in order to meet the UNHCR standard of 50 km minimum) as well as to facilitate the provision of assistance. Additionally, UNHCR will assure the safety of its refugees in the camps. Therefore, a number of mechanisms in cooperation with local authorities and the refugees themselves will be established and an atmosphere of peace and civility is sought to prevail in the camps. Moreover, UNHCR focuses on the prevention of SGBV and the assistance to those who have become victims to SGBV.
The following protection activities will be undertaken:
Ensure the civilian and humanitarian character of refugee camps. Register new arrivals and update available data. Continue working with local authorities to ensure safety of refugees and humanitarian
workers and preserve civilian characters of refugee camps. Train police and immigration officers on human rights, basic refugee law, identifying,
preventing and responding to survivors of violence/SGBV. Set up mechanism to prevent and solve in peaceful manner conflict between refugees
and host communities or between refugees themselves. Provide adult refugees, including all women and unaccompanied children with identity
cards. Provide judicial assistance. Set up protection monitoring at the border to gather information on protection incidents. Protection monitoring, the dissemination of the refugee law, capacity building of
humanitarian actors as to improve the overall asylum system.
Output IndicatorsStandard: 100% of survivors are assisted.
10% of UNHCR staff and partners trained on SGBV.
10% of refugees trained on SGBV.
Standard operating procedures are elaborated and disseminated.
10% of survivors or victims received legal assistance.
Existence of multi-sectoral and inter agency SGVB prevention and response enabled and sustained.
60
BURKINA FASO CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013
Output Indicators100% of refugees are registered and profiled.
II. Child protection
Protection evaluations found that some children are not living with their biological parents but with “tutors” or traditional marabou. Also, the lack of education for children in the camps has represented a serious protection problem as children are left with no recreational activity and are subject to child labour in the camps. Most have lost their school year in Mali and found themselves with no educational activities in Burkina Faso. Finally, the lack of activities for refugees who are living in camps along the borders could expose them to recruitment.
The main aim concerning child protection is therefore to:
Provide universal access to primary education for all refugee children. Raise awareness to parents on the importance of education for their kids. Provide child-friendly spaces in camps. Provide birth registration to all new-born refugees in Burkina Faso.
Output Indicators
15 additional schools constructed in refugee’s camp in the Sahel and well equipped.
4,500 children representing 50% of children aged from 6-11 years old are enrolled in primary school in the camps.
100% of children enrolled in school including girls received school supplies.
III. Camp management and site planning
The operation had to adapt in terms of camp management as the refugees settled according to clans, scattered over a wide geographic space and did not want to be organized by blocks as is common in other refugee operations. Despite these challenges, UNHCR and partners created six official refugee sites in Burkina Faso as well as several spontaneous sites. Currently, the operation is re-locating the refugees from the sites in the Sahel towards Goudebou, a new and improved site on the outskirts of Dori, which is a safe distance of more than 50km from the Malian border. The strategy is to re-locate, on a voluntarily basis, all refugees located in the camps of Oudalan (Fererio, Gandafabou, Deou, Gountouré Gnegne and Tin Hedja) to Goudebou, and to re-locate all refugees in Damba to Mentao (40,000 refugees, 80% of the total refugee population). This will provide increased protection to the refugees as the proximity to the border might jeopardize the civilian character of the camp as well as security to the refugee’s physical integrity. This also means that the operation must invest significantly in logistics and infrastructure in the beginning of 2013.
61
BURKINA FASO CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013
The main objective for Camp Coordination and Camp Management in 2013 is to:
Develop the new sites (construction of family shelter and other infrastructures) as well as to implement measures to ensure safe transfer of women and other vulnerable groups whilst providing appropriate transportation means.
Identification of new sites for new refugee influxes from Mali. Family and community group unity becomes a basis for development of camp and
implementation of settlement arrangements. Civilian and humanitarian character of reception centres and refugee camps, through a
separation of combatants from civilians, to be implemented with support of the Government of Burkina Faso and ICRC.7
Address the issue of urgent basic needs, through provision of essential non-food items, to be distributed at the camp level which includes rendering of special assistance to the people with specific needs.
Physical security and international protection of asylum seekers from Mali through granting them with prima-facie refugee status.
Registration and the provision of arriving refugees with individual identity documents, in order to enable proper monitoring of people of concern and protection of their human rights, as well as to facilitate further access to humanitarian aid. Strengthen refugee leader committees through equal participation of women.
Through participatory assessments, consider the priorities and needs of men, women, children, people living with a disability, etc., of all age groups, and ensure that those are taken into consideration in the design and management of the camps.
Output Indicators
80% (40,000 people) are relocated in the safe camps far away (more than 50 km) from the border with Mali.
Six main refugee’s camps in Sahel protected by police.
Two additional refugee’s camps identified and available for hosting supplementary number of refugees.
100% of refugee’s households (10,000 families) have access to appropriate shelter in the camp.
Women represent 50% of refugee leaders committees.
IV. Food
Since their arrival to Burkina Faso refugees receive food assistance provided by WFP and its partners. The provision of food assistance will remain a priority for UNHCR in 2013. To this end, refugees will continue to receive a monthly food ration consisting of cereals, pulses, oil, salt and Supercreal which will cover their nutritional and food needs of 2,100 kcal per day per person.
Food assistance activities:
Mobilize representative refugee food distribution committees. Ensure the equal participation of women in all food related activities. Build distribution centres in the camps with special provisions to accommodate lactating
and pregnant women, people living with a disability, elderly and other vulnerable groups during the food distribution process.
7 Pending consultation and confirmation by ICRC and the Burkina Faso Red Cross.
62
BURKINA FASO CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013
Provide full rations to all refugees throughout the year. Cover food distribution and transportation fees from early delivery points to final delivery
points. Undertake systematic post-distribution monitoring evaluations. Conduct joint monitoring and evaluation mission as well in depth food security
assessments and nutritional evaluations.
Output Indicators
Each refugee’s camp has distribution committee with 50% participation of women.
Six distribution centres established in refugee’s camps.
750 tons of food transported each month from WFP warehouse and distributed to refugees in the camps.
V. Health and nutrition
Primary health care is available in all the official camps but the services need to be improved, and more importantly, extended to the new camps. WASH and Shelter are currently meeting the minimal standards, but as for health additional funding is required to meet the needs of new arrivals, as well as in the new locations.
Strengthen health facilities to ensure that refugees have access to primary health care, including reproductive health services.
Establishment of a sound referral system of emergency medical evacuation. Establishment of mechanism to address nutritional issues, including nutritional status
assessments.Set up services for the prevention, testing and treatment of HIV/AIDS.
Output IndicatorsFour health centres established in four refugee’s camps and properly equipped.
Each health centre in the camp has mechanism to address reproductive health, nutrition and HIV/AIDS issues.
VI. WASH
Challenges already existed from the start in attaining certain humanitarian standards in the provision of water in the amount of 15 litres/person/day in camps (emergency standards). Now, the operation has moved to 20 litres/person/day and challenges still persist in camps such as Gandafabou and Damba, which are located deep in the Sahel region of Burkina Faso where water resources are scarce. Efforts have not been sufficient as out of all of the boreholes that were prepared, 25% ended up being negative (with high quantity of Nitrate in the water and considered not good for consumption, or no water at all after 70 – 80 meters).
Construction of 10 boreholes for the benefits of host communities surrounding the refugee camps.
Reinforcing services in the camp for the safe water supply and storage in the refugee camps.
Hygiene promotion in the camps. Provision of sanitary materials for women and those of reproductive age and monthly
distribution of soap to refugees.
63
BURKINA FASO CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013
Output Indicators30 wells rehabilitated and maintained.
33 new additional wells constructed.
Each refugee has access to 20 litres/day of potable water.
VII. Livestock assistance:
Refugees have travelled with a large number of livestock (mainly ruminants and camels). FAO estimates 50,000 animals have been brought by the refugees and are presently in Burkina Faso. This significant number of livestock has arrived in the country in the context of a lack of natural pasture and water for local livestock following insufficient rainfall during the 2011 rainy season. This situation has increased the pressure on the availability of animal feed resources, including agro-industrial byproducts as well as on human food and water resources. Low levels of milk and meat production (the main food of the refugees and the local populations) have resulted from high morbidity and mortality rates in livestock.
Since the arrival of refugees, FAO has assisted 20,590 animals (including host community animals) through the provision of animal feed and livestock vaccines as well as veterinary drugs.
As mentioned under the Agricultural response plan, there is a need to continue refugees support as follows:
Provide small ruminants (goats – one male and two females per beneficiary) to those who lost all their livestock, and to their host vulnerable households in order to improve their resilience.
Supply balanced small ruminants feed to Malian household refugees and Burkinabé host communities’ needed for their animal feeding.
Provide veterinary drugs and vaccines for refugees and Burkinabé host communities’ livestock for vaccination and treatment campaign against animal diseases.Destock weak ruminants of selected beneficiaries including raising awareness of refugees and host communities, women and men for animal destocking.
VIII. Environment:
The strategy for the Environment Sector is to collect and distribute firewood to refugee households to prevent women from depleting the scarce vegetation in the vicinity of the camps and having to cover long distances and risk becoming victims of violence. Additionally, alternative stoves (solar energy-based) will be explored as way of minimizing the refugee impact on the environment.
The aim can be summarised as:
Timely availability of required resources, in order to minimize negative impact of the refugee population on the environment.
Output Indicators10,000 refugee households received firewood monthly.
100% of households provided with energy equipment.
64
BURKINA FASO CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013
IX. Shelter/infrastructure
Refugees were not used to the tents and plastic sheeting that were initially provided by UNHCR as they were very different from the traditional shelter types normally used by this refugee group and they therefore adapted them according to their custom. This caused problems as the shelters seem to be too small for the large households and not resistant to the weather conditions of the Sahel. Additionally, the refugees preferred to settle in a dispersed manner and group themselves according to “clans,” thus defying planning parameters and a planned camp layout approach. This created challenges with regard to service delivery (e.g. maintaining maximum distances to latrines, water points, health centres, local schools, etc.). Additionally, the inhospitable Sahel climate and sun combined with heavy winds and rains have destroyed many of the shelters. Because of this, new shelters had to be designed that were culturally adequate and resistant to the climate.
Objectives:
Provide refugees with emergency traditional shelters, which are adequate for their needs and culture.
Construct the following infrastructures in all permanent camps: distributions centres, community centres, construction of education infrastructures where local schools are further than 2 km from the camp.
Output IndicatorsDistribution centres constructed in all permanent camps.
Community centres constructed in all permanent camps.

Explanation of number of beneficiaries targeted
Like many other countries in the Sahel region, Burkina Faso is experiencing a food crisis since 2011, which has been exacerbated since January 2012 by the influx of Malian refugees following the recent instability in the north of Mali, as a result of clashes between armed groups and the Malian army. While the country is still facing the effects of the nutritional crisis and the cholera outbreak in most refugee affected areas in the north of the country, recent discussions at the United Nations Security Council with the possibility of a coordinated attack against the rebel groups in Northern Mali will most likely result in many more Malians crossing the border to seek refuge in Burkina Faso.
The uncertainty surrounding the occupation of the northern regions of Mali and the very likely military intervention from the CEDEAO will spark an increase in population displacements in the north of Burkina Faso and will obviously worsen the nutritional situation of children in many parts of the country. In that situation, the risk of avoidable water borne diseases and especially the risk of an outspread of the cholera outbreak among the refugees and the host communities, currently estimated at 35,000 and 31,000 respectively, is very high. The WASH infrastructure in the current refugee camps, host communities and health centres would definitely not cope with this increase in population, thus WASH services (facilities and hygiene mobilization programmes) need to be strengthened not only for the refugees, but also for the host communities which are in most cases at the same level of needs, if not greater. Areas and numbers of beneficiaries to be
66
BURKINA FASO CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013
assisted will be selected based upon needs determined by the various partners and specified in the selected projects.
How the sector response plan will contribute to the strategic objectives
The WASH sector response plan aims not only at continuing to respond to the current cholera outbreak, to provide WASH services to health centres in support to nutrition rehabilitation interventions and to the refugees and host communities, but also to prepare to respond to the humanitarian needs of the influx of new refugees and host communities as well as the potential worsening of the nutritional status of the children in the country. The sector strategy for humanitarian aid in 2013 is built around four main pillars aimed at ensuring timely and coordinated WASH interventions in support of the response to:
the Sahel nutritional crisis; the Malian refugees’ crisis and it’s collateral effects on the host communities; the cholera outbreak; and potential natural disasters in the country, mainly floods.
Moreover, the response plan aims to build the capacity of the Government and partners in WASH emergency preparedness and response, specifically in the areas of displacement of populations (internally and externally), cholera outbreaks and WASH-in-Nutrition. All projects submitted through this response plan will be aligned with these four main pillars.

Coordination mechanisms in Burkina Faso
The national system:
The National Committee for Emergency Relief, created in 2004, is in charge of coordinating disaster preparedness and emergency relief and rehabilitation activities in conjunction with national and international actors. It is chaired by the Minister of Social Action and represented at sub-regional levels
The international coordination system:
The HCT in Burkina Faso is composed of representatives of UN agencies, donors, and representatives of NGOs and the Red Cross Movement. It is the decisional and strategic framework for the UN at country level and ensures a coordinated and coherent response in line with strategies and mandates of each agency. The HC is the interface between the HCT and the Government.
The inter-sector coordination reports to the HCT. It is composed of six sectors (Food Assistance, Nutrition, Agriculture, WASH, Health and Education), one multi-sector group chaired by UNHCR to coordinate response to refugees, and two thematic groups (Gender-Based Violence, chaired by UNFPA, and Child Protection, chaired by UNICEF).
The Humanitarian Forum gathers international and national NGOs including civil-society representatives and the Red Cross Movement. It is a platform for information exchange and coordination strengthening. OCHA ensures links between the humanitarian forum and the inter-sector coordination.
OCHA serves as secretary for the HCT, the Humanitarian Forum and the inter-sector coordination.
Cross-cutting issues
HIV/AIDS
Poor health services, less disposable income, sexual abuse and exploitation, and the breakdown of family structures have all contributed to an increased vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. Food insecurity is a cause and consequence of HIV. The nutritional and financial needs of affected and infected households increase, but their labour force decreases. Depending on the availability of funds, SAM children who will not respond to treatment will be screened for HIV. If HIV-positive, they will be referred for treatment through anti-retroviral treatment. The same procedure will apply to women and vulnerable people.
Gender
Men and women contribute differently to their households’ sustainability. Planned activities are aimed at women, as they constitute the foundation of basic social structures. Time spent by women on agriculture and livestock activities is often considered to be more important than time spent by men Women also take care of the household, including children. The livestock sub-sector targets single-women head of households. Gender equity will also be respected.
72
BURKINA FASO CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013
The construction of separated showers and latrines for males and females will directly contribute to reducing risks of gender-based violence against women. Child-protection committees, as well as child-protection staff and animators, will comprise male and female staff and representatives of the refugee community in order to adequately address child-protection issues affecting boys and girls respectively in humanitarian settings.
Mental health and psycho-social Issues
The crisis is expected to negatively affect the psycho-social development and well-being of people from different cultural and ethnic groups, including affected children. Therefore, appropriate response mechanisms should be implemented.
Malnutrition, disease outbreaks and natural and man-made disasters have demonstrated short-, medium- and long-term impacts on the health and psycho-social status of women and children. Responses to the nutrition and Malian refugee crises will encompass mental health and psycho-social issues in defining and implementing responses to reduce exacerbated stress, reduce trauma and adequately assist people who need specific medication. This will directly contribute to reducing the negative psychological effects of the crises on beneficiaries and help resume their resilience and coping mechanisms.
Coexistence
The risk of tension between refugees and host communities could dramatically increase in 2013, as refugees’ increased presence will create competition between host communities and refugees. Complaints of a lack of international assistance to host communities are common, especially as host communities have been welcoming from the start and have shared their resources, which are now overused. UNHCR has provided NFIs to host communities and improved the health facilities and schools of communities overwhelmed by the refugee arrivals. Additionally, the service infrastructure provided at the camps (boreholes, primary health centres, schools, etc.) is not closed to the local communities who frequently use of them. Environmental protection projects aim to make sure that local resources will not be depleted by the large refugee presence and worsen the situation forhost communities.
