The statutory members of the provincial consultation framework (CCP) of Bazèga exchanged on Thursday, May 25, 2023 in Kombissiri, during their first ordinary session, on Soil and pesticide management in Bazèga and climate change.
The provincial consultation framework (CCP) is a framework for work, information sharing and collaboration par excellence. It also aims to be a framework bringing together all the development actors present in the province of Bazèga.
It is in this perspective that the first session of the CCP Bazèga was held, chaired by Mrs. Téné Justine Kientega/Ilboudo, High Commissioner of Bazèga.
At this first session, the participants reflected on soil and pesticide management in the province of Bazèga: issues and challenges for sustainable and resilient agriculture in a context of security crisis.
They have also appropriated notions of climate change as well as their links between poverty and soil degradation.
The holding of this session is made possible thanks to the NGO “Les Anges de la Nature” which took this opportunity to present its areas of intervention.
For the representative of the executive director of the NGO, Aimé Ouédraogo, the accompaniment of its structure to the CCP of Bazèga is explained by the fact that this framework is a channel which allows the NGO to make pleas and to solicit the support from all the driving forces for the execution and success of the projects.
The communications were followed by discussions, all of which allowed the participants to ask questions of understanding around the issues raised.
They also contributed with suggestions and comments. At the end of the exchanges, the statutory members were made aware of the importance of soil management and the consequences of the use of pesticides in agricultural activities.
To this end, according to the High Commissioner of the province, Téné Justine Kientega / Ilboudo, it is clear that some producers indulge in bad practices including the abuse of unapproved pesticides threaten the preservation of the environment and impact negatively on human health.
The members of the PCB were also able to identify, through the information received, concepts on climate change and their links between poverty and environmental degradation.
