On March 31, 2023, Burkina Faso's six humanitarian regions, including Boucle de Mouhoun, Centre Nord, Centre Est, Plateau Central, Est and Sahel, face a major crisis. More than two million displaced people are receiving food aid. This research publication reveals gaps in the legality, effectiveness and legitimacy of interventions. 72% of structures are not coordinated, 64% do not collaborate with the government. In terms of management efficiency, 95% have no contingency plan, and 87% have difficulty mobilizing funds. In terms of legitimacy, 50% are aware of aid sales, but 50% feel that food supplies comply with customs. In terms of coordination, 44% prefer civil society, 54% clusters and state structures. As for the legality of management, 50% have no head office in the intervention zone, and 73% have no agreement with the local authorities. Strategic responses are needed, with an emphasis on accountability. Coordinated action between humanitarian, governmental and civil society actors is urgently needed to ensure a response that respects the legal and cultural norms of the displaced.
