Burkina Faso: The commune of Sourgoubila receives 350 plants for prison production, as part of the government’s vision

In a strategic effort to enhance the productivity of its penitentiary system, the Burkinabe government has launched an ambitious agricultural project in Sourgoubila.

 

Recently, the commune received 350 plants, which will be cultivated on a newly designated 50-hectare site.

 

This initiative is part of a broader vision to maximize the use of human and natural resources within the prison system.

 

The 50-hectare site in Sourgoubila is being prepared to support agricultural activities aimed at increasing food self-sufficiency in prisons.

 

The project has dual objectives: improving the self-reliance of correctional facilities and providing inmates with constructive work opportunities that facilitate their reintegration into society.

 

By participating in agricultural projects, inmates will acquire skills that could benefit them after their release.

 

This initiative is closely aligned with Burkina Faso’s sustainable development goals.

 

It not only addresses food security challenges but also promotes environmental sustainability through greener agricultural practices.

 

The cultivation of these 350 plants is expected to yield significant benefits, including the provision of fresh produce and the enhancement of local agricultural expertise.

 

The introduction of this agricultural project in Sourgoubila highlights the Burkinabe government’s commitment to transforming the prison system into a vital component of rural development.

 

By fostering productivity within the penitentiary sector, the initiative aims to deliver substantial economic and social advantages while supporting the reintegration of former inmates and advancing environmental sustainability.
