In Burkina Faso
In Senegal
The continuing tense security situation in Burkina Faso has pushed the number of internal refugees to over 2,000,000. Our Foundation has joined the ranks of those providing humanitarian aid in this difficult situation. Thanks to € 200,000 in financial support from the Luxembourg MAEE, we launched a new project in cooperation with our experienced partner OCADES in Dédougou in January 2024. The project will run for 12 months and includes both an emergency food and nutritional aid component and a sustainable capacity-building component to produce food.
Alinement
Our work is embedded in the context of international development cooperation. It is aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, the general strategy of Luxembourg’s development cooperation and the national development strategies of Burkina Faso and Senegal.
Implementation principles
Monitoring & Evaluation and financial control
The achievement of project results is measured continuously by our partners and, at mid-term and at the end, by external evaluators. Our permanent representative on site and our project managers in Luxembourg carry out regular supervision missions. Videoconferences ensure frequent contact between Luxembourg and the field. Annual financial audits will be carried out by approved firms in Burkina Faso, Senegal and Luxembourg.
