Infrastructure rehabilitation efforts are being undertaken in West Africa to improve accessibility and connectivity. In Burkina Faso, initiatives range from technical road repairs in Ouagadougou using the ‘Do-nou’ earth bag method to community-led rehabilitation of National Road 15 in Bam Province. The latter project is being driven by residents in the Tikaré and Kongoussi communes following the return of displaced populations to the area.

In Senegal, authorities have deployed motor pumps in Kaolack to combat flooding in several neighborhoods, aiming to facilitate movement and ensure school access for the upcoming academic year.
