Nahouri: The High Commissioner of the province of Nahouri, Si© Aristide Mohamed Kam, chaired an event in P´ on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, marking the launch of theatrical performances aimed at preventing conflicts related to transhumance and the exploitation of natural resources.
According to Burkina Information Agency, these performances are part of a broader initiative to enhance community understanding of the importance of preserving natural resources and managing the movement of goods and people between Burkina Faso and Ghana. The Dinadan« project and its partners have organized these performances to inform and raise awareness among local communities, resource people, and authorities involved in transhumance and resource management.
The project’s social cohesion officer, B©ore Somda, highlighted that these performances are designed to help prevent and manage tensions arising from cross-border transhumance and resource management in the project’s operational regions. The initiative seeks to foster social cohesion and reduce conflicts, particularly during the critical winter season.
Local figures such as El hadj Zakaria Tietiembou and El hadj Hamidou Bahadio, a farmer and a breeder from P´, respectively, emphasized that the performances accurately depict on-the-ground realities. They expressed optimism that the initiative would strengthen community ties and mitigate harassment during transhumance.
High Commissioner Si© Aristide Mohamed Kam encouraged stakeholders to continue reflecting on the issues and to commit sincerely to implementing the messages conveyed during the performances. He assured that the provincial administration is dedicated to supporting this transformative process, aiming to make Nahouri a region of dialogue, peace, and shared prosperity.
This activity is part of a project focused on the consensual management of shared natural resources in the border areas of Sissili and Nahouri provinces in Burkina Faso and the Upper East and Upper West regions of Ghana. The project is executed by a consortium comprising HELP, RECOPA, the NUNUNA federation in Burkina Faso, and the NGO Clip in Ghana.
