- Tenders are invited for Support Team of the Kuru Kofé Association in the Implementation of Activities | Sustainable and Integrated Development Program “a Future in the Land of Cliffs”. Context and description of the mission The Hauts-Bassins Region in Burkina Faso and the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes Region in France have been conducting decentralized cooperation since 2004. In this context, the Tetraktys association supports the Hauts-Bassins Regional Council and the pilot sites of the Region in their local development since 2009, particularly in the implementation of the Regional Strategy for the Development of Sustainable Tourism. The populations of the territory of the cliffs are currently experiencing profound upheavals linked to the urbanization and industrialization of peripheral areas, and are confronted with recurring problems: access to drinking water, degradation of the natural environment, poverty, isolation, deforestation, …. Indeed, "les Falaises" is a very poor area where the significant rural exodus to Bobo-Dioulasso (+11% annual demography on average) testifies to precarious living conditions. This territory, which nevertheless displays a very rich heritage (endemic biodiversity, presence of rock art, cultural diversity, atypical landscapes, etc.), is losing its identity. Between 2016 and 2018, following field missions, the traveling seminar and the realization of a diagnosis of the cliffs, access to drinking water emerged as a priority for the populations and as a sine qua non of their involvement in the project and in the preservation of the area. The territorial diagnosis of the cliffs has highlighted the need to preserve and enhance resources and heritage. "A Future in the Land of Cliffs", a program for the preservation and economic development of the Cliffs in the Hauts-Bassins region and the Cascades region in Burkina Faso is the result of a long reflection on the priority needs of the Hauts Bassins regions. and Cascades. The action of preservation and development of the cliffs is naturally included as a priority action of this strategy. All the actions identified meet the needs expressed by the populations as part of a territory diagnosis carried out in 2017. Led in consortium by the associations Afrat, Kuru Kofe and Tetraktys, the program has obtained the support of the French Development Agency in 2018 for the implementation of a first three-year phase (2018 - 2021). Following the results of the external technical evaluation and the positive impacts observed in the Falaises territory, a second three-year phase was launched in January 2022 with the financial support of the French Development Agency (AFD), the Auvergne Rhône Region -Alpes (AuRA), the Rhône Mediterranean Corsica Water Agency (AERMC) and the Regional Councils of the Hauts-Bassins (CRHB) and Cascades (CRC) regions. Presentation of the members of the consortium: · AFRAT (France): The Association for the Training of Rural People in Tourism Activities has been working for more than 50 years in the field of training, territorial development and tourism, for the benefit of populations, institutional actors and local entrepreneurs, in France and abroad. · Kuru Kofé (Burkina Faso): In 2004 the association DOUSE (Develop Tools to Unite our Knowledge and our Energies) launched the Kuru Kofé program, which means "behind the hill", in order to preserve the natural and cultural heritage of the cliffs which collapses under anthropogenic pressures. In 2014, the program formed an association in order to create a framework for consultation, to bring out areas for the safeguarding and enhancement of heritage and to fight against poverty in rural areas. · Tétraktys (France) is a local development NGO established in the Alps for almost 25 years. Its areas of intervention are local development, rural tourism development, preservation and enhancement of natural and cultural heritage, institutional support, education for global citizenship.
