WFP Burkina Faso Launches Blanket Feeding

As the lean season begins in Burkina Faso, WFP launches malnutrition prevention activities.

Overview

Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in Africa, ranking 181 out of 187 countries on UNDP's Human Development Index (2011), showing little improvement in recent years .  High poverty levels, combined with the fact that Burkina Faso is landlocked, make the country's population particularly vulnerable to economic shocks such as high food prices, which limit vulnerable people’s access to food.
