Inventory and Impact of Insects on Post-harvest Bulb Onions (Allium cepa) in Burkina Faso
Rahim Romba, Samuel Fogné Drabo, Anselme Zézouma Dao, Anselme Kabre, Souleymane Damiba and Olivier Gnankine
Onions are one of the most important vegetable crops in Burkina Faso. However, onion producers report significant economic losses during storage, which limits year-round availability. To investigate the cause of these losses, this study aimed to identify the insects associated with onion bulbs in on-farm storage warehouses. The study was carri(...)

Breaking with traditions: Who are the women with attitudes, norms and behaviors that support ending female genital mutilation in Burkina Faso?
Ilene S. Speizer, Elizabeth Gummerson, Fiacre Bazie, Meagan E. Byrne, Yentema Onadja, Phil Anglewicz, Georges Guiella
Studies examining norms and behaviors around female genital mutilation (FGM) are needed to accelerate progress towards the elimination of this harmful practice. This study uses nationally representative data from a pilot FGM module among women ages 15–49 from Burkina Faso collected in 2023/2024. Three main outcomes related to attitudes, norms(...)

Traditional medicine is a common practice among Indigenous populations for treating various diseases.
Its use has increased, particularly for challenging diseases such as cancer, where conventional
treatments often fall short. Breast and cervical cancers are the most common cancers among women in
Burkina Faso. This study aims to document th(...)

THERMAL PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATIONS OF A HEMISPHERICAL SOLAR COOKER WITH ALUMINUM SHEET CONCENTRATORS: APPLICATION TO FOOD COOKING
Ladifata Mogmenga, Bouto Kossi Imbga, Thierry, Sikoudouin Maurice Ky, Salifou Ouedraogo, Sie Kam, Joseph Dieudonne Bathiebo.
Cooking is a method of transforming food by exposing it to heat. Solar cookers allow us to cook food using the heat generated from the sun's rays. In this work, we present an experimental study of a hemispherical solar cooker tested with and without glazing. In the context of sustainable development, in order to reduce environmental impact, th(...)

Climate change impacts on women’s migration and poverty in Burkina Faso
Boureima Sawadogo; Ismael Fofana; Helene Maisonnave
Burkina Faso faces significant challenges in gender inequalities, especially in terms of employment and economic opportunities. Our study contributes to the understanding of the gender distributional effects of climate change shock using a macro-micro economic model. The climate change shock is introduced stochastically to accommodate the unce(...)

Can permanganate oxidizable carbon, microbial respiration, and carbon mineralization rate reflect carbon dynamics across land use and pedo-climate gradients in West African semi-arid zones?
Gannouka Nadjire, Alimata Arzouma Bandaogo, Amanuel W. Gebremichael, Oumarou Ouédraogo and Joseph Issaka Boussim
Climate variability, soil type, land use, and vegetation structure modulate soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics, but their effects on sensitive soil carbon indicators are not adequately quantified in semi-arid ecosystems. This research examined the independent and synergistic impacts of pedo-climate, land use, and canopy cover on permanganate o(...)
