Abstract
Burkina Faso, a low-income country in the Sahel region of Africa, has improved many of its human development indicators in recent decades, including reducing child mortality rates. This has been achieved in part through investing to improve nutrition and women’s access to health care. However, Burkina Faso is increasingly having to deal with the growing challenges of climate change, which is leading to greater fragility and deepening vulnerabilities, undermining efforts to reduce poverty and increase prosperity. This policy brief highlights priority areas for actionable advances in improving food security, nutrition and child health in Burkina Faso in the context of a changing climate.
