Doctors of the World (MdM) has been present in Burkina Faso for several years, with a mission to promote universal access to essential healthcare and the recognition of the right to health. In the context of a security crisis particularly affecting the North, MdM supports local health authorities in order to meet the needs of displaced and host populations.
The Right to Health Access Project in Northern Burkina Faso (2021-2026), funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) with $14.3 million CAD, aims to improve access to healthcare, particularly in sexual and reproductive health (SRH), mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), and gender-based violence (GBV) services. It is being implemented in the Kongoussi health district (Koulsé region, formerly Centre-Nord), which has been affected by conflict and population displacement.
In a spirit of accountability and continuous improvement, MdM wishes to conduct an external evaluation of the implementation of its environmental policy within the framework of this project, with the prior agreement of AMC. This evaluation is part of a broader effort to strengthen environmental integration, ensure alignment with the eco-responsibility policy of MdM’s international network and the environmental requirements of Global Affairs Canada, and develop recommendations for the future.
