Abstract

For the last 8 years Burkina Faso has faced severe armed terrorist groups attacks in many parts of the country. Many citizens, particularly from villages in the northern region, are moving away from their farms and other economic assets in order to save their lives in the neighborhood cities. Thus, the displacement of these populations mainly women and children lead them to sick asylum making them extremely vulnerable. Such situation calls for attention and raised the question of their humanitarian care. As such, this paper aims to shed light on the type of mechanisms of resilience capacity building initiatives that have been used in Barsalogho to ensure the survival of the Internal Displaced Populations (IDPs). Based on their age and gender the study evaluates the empowerment initiatives developed by and for these vulnerable people. This research uses an indebt qualitative method with a total of 34 interviews and 40 households ‘observation. The results indicate that the populations facing eviction following attacks refuse to resign themselves to idleness and are most of the time trying to reconvert themselves to any activity to preserve their human dignity. As such, they are developing means of resilience such as trading, farming, livestock which unfortunately up to now are not sufficient. Humanitarian aid need not only to provide them with food and clothing but to integrate existing initiatives in order to better empower the population.
