Gabriel Charasse: " Bobo-Dioulasso will be particularly exposed to climate change events"

CICLIA is a facility funded by the EU, SECO and AFD that supports more than 30 cities in sub-Saharan Africa in the preparation of low-carbon and resilient urban strategies and projects. With 800,000 inhabitants, the city of Bobo-Dioulasso is the second largest city in the country and a very important economic center based on the surrounding dynamic agriculture. The municipality has developed a local economic development project which aims, on the one hand, to strengthen its action as a local actor and to develop structuring facilities for the city. Among them, commercial public facilities, an important link in strengthening food resilience. CCICLIA is supporting the conduct of a study on the local food supply of markets to be rehabilitated and a project management mission for the bioclimatic design of buildings.
