Description
The Sondré-East pastoral zone is located in the province of Zoundwéogo, in the Centre-South region of Burkina Faso. Covering an area of more than 14,000 hectares, this pastoral zone had no land title, despite the decree creating it in February 2000.
In December 2023, the MODHEM+/ DDC project, financed by the Swiss Cooperation Office in Burkina Faso and implemented by the Dutch Development Organisation, SNV, began work to secure the pastoral area, with the involvement of all stakeholders.
Securing the Sondré-East pastoral zone will improve productivity in the pastoral sector, strengthen the local economy and reduce land conflicts.
