For the Luxembourg Development Cooperation, the Implementing the National Forest Resources Management Programme is innovatory in many ways. On one hand, it underlines the marked interest for the sector of Natural Resources Management in Burkina Faso. The project is also part of a new approach which supports the national policy in putting its own strategy into place. Furthermore, it is an innovative step towards more harmonisation as it has been done in joint cooperation with other donors, notably the Swedish Development ODA.

The programme strengthens the capacities of the national institutions linked to natural resources through technical assistance which will strengthen various fields: management, human resources, strategy, creation of a fund, etc.

The programme will promote sustainable development through, amongst other things, the management of forestry resources and create a link with the Second National Forest Inventory project.
