This blog is part of a dossier on locally-led adaptation, featuring insights and lessons from the Reversing the Flow (RtF) program. RtF empowers communities in Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Sudan to build climate resilience through direct funding and a community-driven, landscape approach.
In the Plateau Central Region of Burkina Faso, local communities face the dual challenge of climatic changes — with increasingly irregular rainy seasons and disrupted ecosystems — and restrictions on the use of nearby dam water for agriculture. The local organization tiipaalga, with support from the Reversing the Flow project by RVO, supports these communities in their locally led adaptation.
