Dans le cadre du HIP 2018 ECHO pour le Burkina Faso, Terre des hommes Lausanne au Burkina met en œuvre depuis le 1er Avril 2018 dans trois districts sanitaire (Thiou, Titao, Ouahigouya) de la région du Nord un projet DIPECHO intitulé « Système de surveillance et amélioration de la préparation et des capacités de réponses face aux risques de catastrophes dans la région du Nord au Burkina Faso ». L’objectif général de ce projet est de contribuer à la réduction durable des vulnérabilités des populations face aux crises et catastrophes dans ces trois districts du Nord.
