COOPI has been present in Burkina Faso since 2022. The country has been experiencing a serious humanitarian crisis since 2018, linked to the rise of organized armed groups. This is an unprecedented situation of insecurity that has already generated nearly 1.5 million displaced people and places an even greater burden on women and children. In total, the number of people in need of humanitarian assistance stands at nearly 5 million.
COOPI has implemented an integrated emergency response to meet the basic needs of "people on the move," with interventions in the areas of nutritional security, health and mental health, food security and livelihoods, and access to water and sanitation.
At the center of COOPI's interventions in the country are the displaced and host communities, with a particular focus on the most vulnerable groups, such as women and children ages 0-5.
In Burkina Faso, the number of displaced people is rapidly increasing, due to the increasingly precarious health conditions of the population and, in particular, of women and children under five years. COOPI promotes health and nutritional security, among the most vulnerable segments of the population and in remote areas, through:

In recent years, the number of displaced people in Burkina Faso has increased significantly and goes hand in hand with the number of unaccompanied or separated children who are at risk of being recruited by armed groups. COOPI promotes protection interventions towards displaced persons and host communities, with a focus on child protection. COOPI also serves as a focal point for preventing and responding to child rights violations, helping to strengthen child protection mechanisms in local communities while adopting a participatory and gender-sensitive approach.
COOPI promotes protection activities in Burkina Faso at different levels:
Given the security and humanitarian context that the country is experiencing, it is difficult to implement development projects due to the displacement of populations to other locations. Despite this, the Zood Nooma Development Association (AZND), the German NGO Welthungerhilfe (WHH) and the Italian NGO Cooperazione Internazionale (COOPI) have formed a consortium as part of a project funded by the German G5 Sahel Foundation. This project, called ZEMSTAABA, aims to contribute to peace promotion, conflict prevention and sustainable development. The project is implemented in Bam province, north-central region, as a hub for development through:

COOPI's current areas of intervention in Burkina Faso, such as health, Nutritional Security, Protection, and Food Security, will remain the focus of COOPI's programming in the country.
COOPI also aims to strengthen intervention in other areas such as WASH, emergency education, environment, social cohesion, and socio-economic activities.
Finally, COOPI intends to diversify its interventions in other regions such as the Boucle de Mouhoun region where humanitarian needs have recently emerged and in the Hauts Bassins region with development interventions.
COOPI's projects in Central African Republic are currently funded by:
Health (mental health) - Nutrition - Nutritional Security - Food Security - Protection (childhood, gender-based violence)
Ministry of Health - Ministry of Solidarity, Humanitarian Action, National Reconciliation, Gender and Family - Ministry of Territorial Administration and Decentralization
