Synopsis "Management analysis and coordination of humanitarian interventions"
On March 31, 2023, Burkina Faso's six humanitarian regions, including Boucle de Mouhoun, Centre Nord, Centre Est, Plateau Central, Est and Sahel, face a major crisis. More than two million displaced people are receiving food aid. This research publication reveals gaps in the legality, effectiveness and legitimacy of interventions. 72% of structures are not coordinated, 64% do not collaborate with the government. In terms of management efficiency, 95% have no contingency plan, and 87% have difficulty mobilizing funds. In terms of legitimacy, 50% are aware of aid sales, but 50% feel that food supplies comply with customs. In terms of coordination, 44% prefer civil society, 54% clusters and state structures. As for the legality of management, 50% have no head office in the intervention zone, and 73% have no agreement with the local authorities. Strategic responses are needed, with an emphasis on accountability. Coordinated action between humanitarian, governmental and civil society actors is urgently needed to ensure a response that respects the legal and cultural norms of the displaced.
