This fact sheet highlights how SERVIR West Africa is supporting sustainable management in Burkina Faso through commune-level development planning.
The Land Use Land Cover and Change Mapping Service was designed to provide governments with data, tools, and skills to better understand relevant intervention actions related to land conservation and management, ensuring that land resources can be efficiently monitored and regulated.
The Support for Commune-Level Development Planning in Burkina Faso service is developing an information platform for monitoring of the physical occupation, land use, land cover, and spatial data infrastructure of commune-level administrative areas in Burkina Faso to support decision making related to sustainable management.
Susan Malaso Kotikot, a Graduate Research Assistant with SERVIR, has created an interactive publication to describe and explain land cover changes that took place in Namibia between 2000 and 2010.
