- Burkina Faso, a tak naprawdę Burka Fasoli – dziwny kraj, czy tam państwo, czy tam państewko, gdzie każdy ma afro, Ebolę, nosi burkę i je fasolę. Skąd to wszystko wiemy? A więc, oficjalnie państwo nosi nazwę Burka Fasoli, co mówi samo za siebie; a reszta to w tamtym regionie po prostu standard, także nie ma o co się martwić. Kraj ten ma dość długą nazwę stolicy – Ugadugudugudugu (nie słuchajcie Wikipedii – tam piszą Ugadugu). Nie jedźcie tam, po prostu przeczytajcie artykuł – wiele nie wiemy, ale postaramy się opisać ten kraj i wymienić wszystkie powody dlaczego powinniście tam nie jechać.

- Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta) achieved independence from France in 1960. Repeated military coups during the 1970s and 1980s were followed by multiparty elections in the early 1990s. Current President Blaise COMPAORE came to power in a 1987 military coup and has won every election since then. Burkina Faso's high population density and limited natural resources result in poor economic prospects for the majority of its citizens. Recent unrest in Cote d'Ivoire and northern Ghana has hindered the ability of several hundred thousand seasonal Burkinabe farm workers to find employment in neighboring countries.

- A thriving solar cooking promotion has been underway for several years, initially through the efforts of a young Burkinabe, William Ilboudo, who founded ISOMET, a business enterprise in the late 1990s. Other organizations also work in this Sahelian nation, which is ideally suited for solar cooking. William Ilboundo had studied in Germany where he came to know about solar ovens. When he returned to his country, he started a small business, basically in his own backyard and with the assistance of family members, making and selling wooden box cookers. Because of the cost of the boxes, the audience was primarily a middle class one, at least initially. Even then, the ovens were usually sold on a pay-over-time business, and collecting the money proved problematic. Efforts to assist in the development of a micro-credit scheme, to be managed by a banking firm, were not successful. In 2000, William, who is loosely allied with Solar Household Energy, Inc. as one of that organization's roster of solar entrepreneurs, returned to Germany for another course of study. On his return, a larger scale business plan was developed - one that would create a proper workshop and permit a number of employees to be used in expanding cooker production. Technical assistance in management of this effort was provided to Mr. Ilboudo by a Dutch representative of an association of retired business executives. A number of visitors and observers have evaluated the work done by ISOMET. All who have visited the project were impressed with the dedication of the workers and the quality of the solar products. Throughout the early years, Mr. Ilboudo continued to receive support from a number of German solar cooking experts, including Rolf Behringer, a well-known solar cooker promoter. In 2000, a Swiss expert visited this Burkina Faso business and reported that over 150 excellent ovens had been built, and demand appeared to be steady if not spectacular In 2003, M. Bonello, a European solar cooking promoter, visited programs in three West African nations, one of which was Burkina Faso. He reported that ISOMET now has four employees and is manufacturing a range of types of cookers. After several years of only working with box cookers, they now are also manufacturing the CooKit, the cardboard [solar panel cooker] that is the least expensive, but efficient, cooker available. 300 of these had been sold, following a major promotion on television. Currently, they sell around 50 of those per year. In addition, William is importing kits for the assembly of small-scale parabolic cooking devices, far more expensive, but able to cook for up to 10 people. One negative aspect of this part of ISOMET's work is the necessity to pay a heavy custom duty of around 33% on the imported goods. (Paradoxically, the government subsidizes gas products, such as kerosene, at around 40%). Yet another part of the work of this organization is equipping school cafeterias with large-scale Scheffler parabolic devices, some equipped with tracking devices made from bicycle parts in the ISOMET workshop. Maintenance problems have been severe however with these more complex devices. Topping off the work of ISOMET, Mr. Ilboudo and his workers have recently installed a solar bakery capable of producing 1500 loaves of bread a day. The bakery is equipped with a 16 sq. meter Scheffler reflector, and has a heat retention system using a container filled with stones. This effort has been led by the Solar Institute Julich, using ISOMET staff. The organization is currently building more spacious quarters and has additional large projects in mind. Other promoters work in this nation, as well. Centre Écologique Albert Schweitzer is located in Ougadougou; a part of its work is a Workshop for Solar Energy and Appropriate Technologies. The latter is a research and training center for farmers, artisans, and small business owners. An affiliate of the center is the German non-governmental organization, the Association for the Promotion of the Use of Solar Energy (APEES). That group has, in turn, affiliated itself with local artisans and with women's organizations to distribute solar cookers and dryers. In 2003, as reported by M. Bonello (see above), they had sold around 500 such units in the past decade. Another company, SED, has been created by Boudacar Zongo, who was already in the business of provided various cooking devices, through his business, Solar Household Energy (SHE). The focus of SED is on fuel conserving stoves, but they actively promote solar cooking as well. One promotional scheme included a small store located in a low income area of Ougadougou, where cakes, chicken, or other food cooked in solar ovens are sold. To increase traffic, they even installed a pay phone. SED receives technical assistance from the Centre Écologique Albert Schweitzer and its unit on renewable energy. Ougadougou would appear to be an excellent site for initiatives established by local entrepreneurs, perhaps a model for other cities and nations. On the other end of the solar cooking range from the large scale parabolics is a project developed in a rural area of Burkina Faso. The pioneering site was the village of Goram-Goram, in the northern part of the country. Wietske Jongbloed is a volunteer associated with the Dutch NGO, the KoZon Foundation. Wietske started with 20 CooKits to introduce to village women. She is a very experienced solar trainer who first went to Goram-Goram in 1999. Already well acquainted with and supportive of the activities of ISOMET, where experimentation with the CooKit was underway, she decided to see what success might be had with the far less expensive CooKit in the rural areas. The first 20 CooKits were given to two groups of women to try with their own cooking practices. Reaction was very positive and many asked that more CooKits be made available. After this "pilot", the KoZon Foundation was willing to support a larger project. In 1999, 300 Cookits were made available for sale, though subsidized to make the price low enough to be feasible for the potential customers, who are very poor. The cooking kit comprised a thin aluminum pot, two plastic bags (used to retain heat in the pot) and the cardboard CooKit; the price was about $2.50 (actually, about the cost of the pot alone). Experienced solar cooks from the initial project later served as trainers for new buyers of CooKits. All the solar cookers sold very quickly and many more people inquired about availability of more such devices. Sixty percent of the kits were purchased by women, 25% by men for their families (sometimes several, as multiple wives are common), and 15% to young single men, the latter becoming very enthusiastic users of the CooKit. Many families would like to have more than one CooKit, as their families are large. This very positive reception appears to be related to a number of factors: the use of village women as trainers, familiar foods for demonstrations, cooking that is normally done out of doors, the excellent insolation, and the high cost of alternative fuels, plus, no doubt, Wietske Jongbloed's skill and persistence. The generosity of the KoZon Foundation in subsidizing the poor of the nation is also a major factor. The Kozon Foundation has since promoted solar usage in other nations (see Mali and Chad) and other areas of Burkina Faso. CooKits are being made in Burkina Faso, rather than imported, which both provides jobs for Burkinabes and is less expensive, making support dollars go further. One of the very interesting parts of the KoZon support for solar cooking in West Africa is their support of an evaluation of the project. A masters level student from at a Dutch university (and from Benin) was assisted to conduct the evaluation which carefully studied and observed solar cooker purchasers, their motives and the consequences of solar usage. Those findings were summarized, and the staff and board of KoZon very systematically examined each and made appropriate changes in their approaches as the data indicated. This outside evaluation and the uses made of it are fairly rare in the solar cooking world, and hence to be noted and commended. A more recent report from Burkina Faso tells of the work sponsored by other European groups in West Africa. BSW Alternative Energy, a German company, makes a somewhat different type of parabolic cooker known as the Papillon. Instead of an inverted dome like most parabolics, the Papillon has two wings, with room for the cook to stand between for ease of cooking. In addition, the device folds to go through a doorway. The device can cook for up to 15 people, since it holds several pots, and is very powerful. The BSW Solar Energy group is promoting the Papillion for West Africa (SEWA) where they have been working since 1994. They recently have introduced 70 Papillion cookers in Gaoua, Burkina Faso. The devices were manufactured in country with technical assistance from BSW. The Papillion can also be purchased as a kit for home assembly, and a scheme is in place for payment over time with savings from previous reductions in fuel purchasing. The cost is repaid in around 18 months; once repaid, the funds are available for another family to use for a cooker and pay back in the same manner. The promoters of this scheme include Willi Heinzen, Bernd Hafner, and Paul Kraemer, chef, scientist, and medical doctor, respectively. Their recent book, Solar Kocher, (Munich, Germany, 2002: Sud West Information) unfortunately for many of us, is published only in German. It provides an excellent discussion of solar cooking technology and practice, with detailed diagrammatic drawings of various types of cookers and marvelous pictures of fuel scarce West Africa. Community members in Bobo Dioulasso formed Association TLE NAFA in 2004 to promote solar energy and reduce deforestation. In 2005, the association carried out two projects with 35 Papillon solar cookers. The cookers were made in Ouagadougou and assembled in Bobo Dioulasso. After a 20% subsidy, the cookers sold for about €120 each. Sales proceeds were used to buy additional supplies. TLE NAFA planned to sell at least 15 more in 2006.

- LE BURKINA FASO (présentation selon Faso New) Enclavé dans les terres de l'Afrique occidentale, le Burkina Faso s'étend en bordure méridionale du Sahara, dans la partie centrale du Sahel. Il est limité par la Côte d’Ivoire, le Togo, le Ghana, le Bénin au sud, le Mali à l'ouest et au nord ouest, le Niger à l'est et au nord est. Ancienne Haute Volta, colonie Française, et après une décénie de turbulences politiques (1980 ~ 1990), il voit aujourd'hui une croissance de son économie due en grande par à la stabilité politique par rapport aux autres pays de la sous région, et occupe une place de choix dans l'Union Economique et Monétaire Ouest Africaine (UEMOA). Devenu indépendant en 1960, il a été gouverné par une succéssion militaire, le Burkina Faso est devenu un état pluraliste depuis 1991. communes avec le Mali au nord-ouest, la Côte d'Ivoire au sud-ouest, le Ghana, le Togo et le Bénin au sud, et le Niger à l'est. Le pays couvre une superficie totale de 274 000 km2 dont 33 % (soit 95 650 km2) sont à vocation agricole. Dans l'ensemble, le relief est peu accentué et une bonne partie des sols sont secs et pauvres. Pays enclavé de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, le Burkina Faso a des frontières Le climat de type tropical se caractérise par l'alternance d'une longue saison sèche et d'une courte saison des pluies, établie de mai/juin à septembre, avec de très fortes variations interannuelles de la pluviométrie (voir le profil météorologique). Quatre zones peuvent être identifiées sur la base de critères éco-climatiques : la zone sahélienne au nord, avec une pluviométrie annuelle moyenne inférieure à 500 mm, et 40 à 50 jours de pluie. C'est une zone de parcours et de céréaliculture aléatoire. la zone sahélo-soudanienne au centre-nord, avec une pluviométrie annuelle moyenne comprise entre 500 et 750 mm, et 60 jours de pluie. C'est une zone de parcours et de culture d'arachide en association avec le mil et le sorgho. la zone soudanienne au centre-sud, avec une pluviométrie annuelle entre 750 et 1000 mm, et 70 à 80 jours de pluie. Cette zone présente des vocations comparables à celles de la zone sahélo-soudanienne. la zone soudano-guinéenne au sud-ouest, avec une pluviométrie supérieure à 1000 mm, et plus de 100 jours de pluie. Cette zone est favorable aux cultures pluviales exigeantes telles que le coton, le maïs, le riz, les fruits et les légumes. La population résidente était estimée à 8 millions d'habitants (dont 12 % d'urbains, 2 % de semi-urbains et 86 % de ruraux) au recensement de 1985. Avec un taux moyen de croissance annuelle de 2,82 % entre 1990 et 1999, la population a été estimée à 10 319 000 habitants en 1995 dont 73 % (soit 7 510 000) de ruraux, et à 10 995 000 habitants en 1999. La densité moyenne de 34,7 habitants/km2 est inégalement répartie, avec un centre du pays très peuplé contrairement au nord et à l'est (voir carte). La pression sur les terres arables est très forte. Entre 1960 et 1964, la population employée dans l'agriculture a diminué de 90 % à 85 %, tandis que celle employée dans l'industrie a augmenté de 5 % à 10 %. Une partie de la population active travaille de manière temporaire ou permanente dans les pays limitrophes, particulièrement en Côte d'Ivoire. L'économie du pays est caractérisée par le poids important de l'agriculture, dont la contribution au PIB est restée élevée malgré une baisse significative (68,2 % entre 1969 et 1971, 43 % entre 1979 et 1981, et 42,8 % en 1989). Le produit national brut par tête est de 230 US$. Plus de 80 % de la population vit de l'agriculture de subsistance, de l'exportation de l'or, du coton et du bétail. Les sécheresses de 1970-74 et de 1983-84 ont sévèrement affecté l'agriculture. Le développement est également handicapé par la faible fertilité des sols et la surexploitation des terres : 23 % du territoire sont exploitables et 11 % sont effectivement cultivés. En janvier 1994, le FCFA a été dévalué de moitié par rapport au FF (1 FF = 100 FCFA). Au cours de la période suivant la dévaluation, le taux de croissance du PIB (4 % en 1995, 6 % en 1996 et 5,5 % en 1997) s'est maintenu au-dessus du taux de croissance de la population (2,6 %). L'indice des prix à la consommation est passé de 8,3 % entre 1993-97 à 2,3 % en 1997. En 1996, les importations totales étaient de 583 millions US$ tandis que les exportations totales étaient de 304 millions US$. En 1994, les importations de produits agricoles étaient de 90 millions US$, tandis que les exportations étaient de 75 millions de US$.

Contexte et justification du projet: Le Burkina Faso, pays sahélien et enclavé situé dans la boucle du Niger au cœur de l’Afrique occidentale connaît de nos jours de sérieux problèmes de désertification. Devant ce état des lieux combien alarmant, des actions marquants pour contrer les effets de la sécheresse et lutter contre la désertification ont été initiées ces dernières années. On peut citer entre autres les actions suivantes : 1.
* lutter contre la coupe abusive du bois ; 2.
* Reboisement industriel et villageois ; 3.
* Recherche d’alternatives (énergie de substitution/foyer amélioré) pour alléger la pression excessive sur la végétation naturelle, etc Aussi, plus de 90% du bois coupé au Burkina Faso est utilisé comme combustible. La consommation est plus élevée dans les zones urbaines que dans les ménages ruraux. Dans ces conditions, l'urbanisation rapide conduira à l'accélération de la déforestation, d'autant plus que les réserves de bois ont été surexploitées pour un temps considérable. L'importation de formes d'énergie n’est pas une alternative pour des raisons économiques. En raison de la forte encore et la hausse des coûts du bois et d'autres formes de combustible domestique le lien avec le problème de la pauvreté est évident. Dans le contexte de la mondialisation et de l'urbanisation la relation moderne de la croissance du secteur et l'accroissement de la pauvreté, la relation de l'acceptation de cuisinières solaires et socio-économique est abordée, de même que la possibilité de solutions hybrides au niveau local.
