Pastoralism Law Reform
Burkina Faso
POLICY ASKS
Fix the pastoralism law: secure land rights, protect herders’ movement, and stop conflicts before they start.
Strengthen the revised Law on Pastoralism to secure pastoral land rights and protect mobility.
One fair law, one system for justice—pastoralists must be protected everywhere.
Align the law with the Rural Land Law by harmonising conflict-resolution mechanisms to improve access to justice.
Build resilience now—support herders facing drought, insecurity, and disappearing pasture.
Ensure the law builds resilience to drought, insecurity, and shrinking pastureland.
