Increasing the national budget allocated to nutrition spending
Description
The Government of Burkina Faso, through the Ministry of Health, with the support of its partners (local authorities, parliamentarians, technical and financial partners, RESONUT), is committed to increasing from 2.02% of its national budget allocated to expenditure on nutrition in 2023 to 5% in 2028. To achieve this target, the implementation of these actions is crucial:
• Take into account more exhaustively the nutrition expenditure of sensitive and specific ministerial departments already in the follow-up, but also of new ministerial departments such as defence, security, communication, etc.
• Integrate nutrition into the budget circular in 2026
• Continue advocacy with policymakers
• Strengthen the capacities of the focal points of sensitive and specific ministerial departments
• Strengthening the capacities of local government executives
• Strengthening the capacities of parliamentarians
• Perform annual budget analyses
Progress will be monitored annually through monitoring and budget analysis of public financing for nutrition
