Initiatives

Contexte

Le Burkina Faso a connu une augmentation spectaculaire de la violence au cours des cinq dernières années. Celle-ci devient de plus en plus diffuse sur tout le territoire et se transforme en phénomène récurrent. Les institutions nationales et internationales investissent massivement dans la réponse sécuritaire en prêtant peu d'attention aux causes profondes et aux processus à long terme qui permettent et aggravent cette violence. De plus, il n'y a aucune tentative connue à l'échelle nationale pour comprendre les multiples perspectives, besoins et capacités des populations locales dans le contexte de ces menaces à la sécurité. Étant donné que des solutions durables et à long terme pour la paix exigent une appropriation locale, l’absence d’une telle analyse constitue une lacune importante.

Analyzing the drivers of violent conflict and factors of resilience

Using Participatory Action Research (PAR), Interpeace is conducting an analysis of the drivers of violent conflict and factors of resilience in Burkina Faso. PAR emphasizes the importance of inclusive, participatory, locally owned, driven and led processes of understanding phenomena. The rationale for such an approach is rooted in the belief that supporting the agency of stakeholders through their meaningful participation in understanding conflict contributes to the design of inclusive and locally owned peacebuilding processes. The participatory action research process will be supplemented by the use of Audio-Visual Documentation. Audio-visual documentation has proven to be a vital tool for advancing the acceptance of research findings in post-conflict countries where Interpeace is engaged. This analysis will be done in all 13 regions of the country and will ensure that all relevant actors are i...

Fostering youth dialogue: Bibiss Laafi Batû

In partnership with Fondation Hirondelle, Interpeace is developing a project designed to contribute towards developing mutual understanding and trust among young people in Burkina Faso. Youth are increasingly isolated from, and frustrated by, national decision-making processes; influenced by unbalanced reporting and participation in social and other media; and, affected negatively by the security challenges, including inter-communal conflict, affecting the country and wider Sahel region. The initiative aims to address these challenges by creating spaces for young people to develop mutual understanding, to participate in public debate and to seek fresh and youth-oriented solutions to security challenges principally using radio to do so. This project will be implemented in 7 regions: Ouahigouya (Northern Region), Dori (Sahel Region), Bobo-Dioulasso (Upper Basin Region), Kaya (North Central Region), F...
