This project targets the cities of Ouagadougou, Bobo-Dioulasso, and their peri-urban municipalities to reduce vulnerability to extreme heat waves.

The Koala Agro-Sylvo-Pastoral Farm is a pilot site developed by ARFAC-Dev on a 2.3-hectare area, dedicated to demonstration and training in agroecology and climate-smart agriculture (CSA). This family land, secured by a Rural Land Property Certificate (APFR), is leased by the association to serve as a platform for experimentation, learning, and transfer of sustainable technologies.

In 2023-2024, ARFAC-Dev successfully established a partnership with The Hague Academy for Local Governance (Netherlands) under a 150,000 USD project entitled 'Inclusive Local Economic Development and Entrepreneurship in Comoé Province'. Implemented in five municipalities, this project enabled training of local authorities, cooperatives and displaced populations, promotion of women's and youth entrepreneurship, and facilitation of multi-stakeholder dialogue. Despite a fragile security context, the project was executed on time and within budget, demonstrating ARFAC-Dev's capacity to manage international funds and generate concrete community impact.
