Final evaluation of the EU-funded project on increased resilience of local authorities in Burkina Faso impacted by massive internal displacement and COVID-19 (2023/8)

This report presents the findings of the final evaluation of the “Increased resilience of local authorities in Burkina Faso impacted by massive internal displacement and COVID-19”. The project aims to support national and local government authorities to respond to displacement-induced massive urban population growth and building capacity on urban and territorial planning, cross-sectoral coordination and improved access to basic services and adequate housing for most vulnerable displaced and host population. The project is the first of its kind in Burkina Faso, as it looks at the sustainable integration of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in urban areas, by promoting durable solutions through an area-based integrated approach. It works within the frame of the triple Humanitarian- Development-Peace (HDP) Nexus and applies core approaches to the implementing entity, the United Nations Human Settlements Programme.
