UNDP Burkina Faso Accelerator Lab

We work on community vulnerability due to climate change, conflict management, environmental pollution, waste management and urban mobility.

While remaining aligned with the UNDP Burkina Faso Country Office's priorities, the Burkina Faso Accelerator Lab, in conjunction with the three units of the Country Office (governance, resilience, and environment/energy), work to map solutions in each sector. We also test local solutions in these three areas. We collaborate on UNDP projects and programs on the Accelerator Lab's approach to project and program planning and implementation, as well as the use of tested solutions that have proven successful. The Accelerator Lab was selected for calls for projects under the Africa Borderland Center and the Japan SDGs Innovation Challenge. Through the Innovation Challenge, seven UNDP Accelerator Labs are collaborating with Japanese companies to co-develop and design models to test potential solutions to address specific development challenges problems identified by the Labs.
