Plan Régional d’Adaptation au Changement Climatique 2024-2028

The Plan Régional d’Adaptation au Changement Climatique 2024-2028 for the Plateau Central region of Burkina Faso identifies key climate risks, assesses sectoral vulnerabilities, and proposes 44 priority actions across three strategic axes. With an estimated cost of 5,669,080,000 FCFA, the plan focuses on improving the resilience of agriculture, water resources, livestock, environment, and health, while targeting the most vulnerable populations, including women, the elderly, and persons with reduced mobility.

• The Plateau Central region is primarily exposed to droughts, floods, and extreme heat. While droughts (including irregular rainfall and dry spells) are projected to remain stationary or decrease slightly between 2021 and 2080, floods and extreme heat are expected to amplify.
• The most vulnerable development sectors in the region are agriculture, water resources, livestock, environment, and health. Specific impacts include crop loss and soil degradation from droughts, and the increase of waterborne and vector-borne diseases following floods.
• Certain population groups are identified as more vulnerable to climate change than others, specifically farmers, livestock breeders, women, the elderly, and persons with reduced mobility.
• The PRA is structured around three strategic axes: (1) strengthening implementation capacities and governance for integrating climate adaptation into development plans, (2) improving the resilience of production sectors, and (3) strengthening human capital and social protection.
• The plan consists of 44 priority actions and projects with a total estimated cost of 5,669,080,000 FCFA for the 2024-2028 period. The vast majority of this budget (approximately 93.91%) is allocated to Axis 2 for improving production sector resilience.
• Priority adaptation measures include the use of short-cycle and drought-resistant crop varieties, the implementation of soil and water conservation techniques (CES/DRS) such as zaï and mulching, and the rehabilitation of dams to improve water management.
• The implementation of the PRA will be governed by a Steering Committee (COPIL), chaired by the President of the Regional Council, and a technical monitoring and evaluation unit.
• The plan identifies several high-criticality risks that could hinder implementation, most notably the under-funding of the PRA and the aggravation of insecurity, both receiving the highest criticality score of 6.
