The security situation in Burkina Faso is deteriorating, with increased activity from armed groups.
Key considerations:
- As at 31 January 2023, there were more than 1.9 million IDPs in the country.
- Conflict and climatic shocks, such as longer-than-average dry seasons, high temperatures, and flooding, combined with socioeconomic inequalities, have aggravated the access of affected people to food, water, and essential services.
- Approximately 3.53 million people will need emergency food assistance during the 2023 lean season (June–August).
- More than 179,000 malnourished children required life-saving treatment in 2022.
- As at 31 January 2023, about 36,000 refugees and asylum seekers had requested international protection in Burkina Faso, mainly from Mali.
