Abstract

Since the beginning of 2008, Burkina Faso has been committed and has taken important actions in the seed sector. As such, various policy documents and strategic plans in the seed sector clearly state the importance of seed in the development of the agricultural sector and food security. This study addresses the issue of institutional, organizational and structural governance of the seed sector in order to understand the seed system and allow the various actors to fully play their specific roles, in a coordinated and coherent way. This paper provides a general view of the seed sector in Burkina Faso by taking into account the coherence of policies, orientations, interventions and actions more generally developed in order to respond to the challenges of the seed sector at the local, regional and national level. This qualitative research uses semi-directive interviews combine with the concept of governance to better understand the level of involvement of the actors, their influence, their roles and missions in the seed system. The results show the major element that impact the seed sector is the lack of coordination of actions on the ground between the different set of actors. This influences, the dynamics and the evolution of the sorghum and cowpea seed system in terms of structural organization of the actors.
