📋 Tender Overview
In Burkina Faso, more than 2 million people, mostly women and children, have been displaced due to the conflict. These people live in extreme vulnerability, with limited access to essential resources. Switzerland and Germany are joining forces to support 84,000 internally displaced people. Their support aims to sustainably rebuild livelihoods. The intervention promotes equitable access to land, water, and forests in a peaceful environment.

The project in brief
Background Burkina Faso is facing a major humanitarian crisis, with more than 2 million internally displaced people, the majority of whom are women and children, generally living on the outskirts of urban areas. These displacements, often prolonged and repeated, exacerbate their vulnerability, particularly in terms of food security, access to basic resources, and protection. In 2025, approximately 2.26 million people (10% of the population) will need food aid. However, humanitarian funding remains insufficient, limiting the response capacity of assistance. The Government has implemented a national strategy (2023-27) to meet the needs of displaced people, promote their reintegration, and promote sustainable solutions. To contribute to this, Switzerland and Germany have decided to join forces within the framework of the ProRes project, the first phase of which was financed by the German Financial Cooperation (KfW). The initial objective of the project, aimed at improving the resilience of smallholder farmers to climate change, will be complemented with Swiss funding to address the specific needs of populations affected by the humanitarian crisis, particularly internally displaced people.
Objectives At least 72,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) and 12,000 people from vulnerable host communities, including returnees, have sustainable access to productive resources and sufficient, diversified and nutritious food, while preserving and enhancing local natural resources (land, water, forests).
Target groups Vulnerable IDP households, mainly women, heads of households and children, and vulnerable host households and voluntary returnees from the Kuilsé and Nando regions.
Medium-term outcomes Outcome 1 : Vulnerable households, particularly women heads of household, restore their livelihoods and use productive resources (land, water, inputs) equitably and securely. Outcome 2 : Vulnerable households have access to sufficient and balanced food and children benefit from improved nutritional intake through the adoption of agroecological/agroforestry practices Ou
