Houet: The TENFOREST Association handed over office equipment to the rural land service (SFR) of the rural commune of Toussiana last Thursday during an official ceremony. Estimated at nearly 3 million FCFA, this equipment is made up of 2 desktop computers, a printer, 1 GPS, a motorcycle, and a scanner.
According to Burkina Information Agency, the president of the TENFOREST Association, Alain Traor©, explained that this donation aims to strengthen the technical and logistical resources of the rural land service. This enhancement is intended to enable the service to fully accomplish its missions of local land management and the issuance of Rural Land Possession Certificates (APFR), which are crucial for facilitating secure access to land, particularly for women in rural areas.
This delivery of equipment is part of a broader project to secure collective land rights for women's organizations in six municipalities in Burkina Faso. It also responds to a need expressed by the rural land service of the Municipality of Toussiana, Traor© added.
Barro Si© Gaston, the 1st Vice President representing the PDS of the Municipality of Toussiana, expressed his joy and satisfaction for the delivery of this equipment, which strengthens the capacity of the rural land service. He extended his gratitude to the TENFOREST project for its support of land services across various municipalities in the country.
Mr. Barro further called on all projects, NGOs, and associations to follow TENFOREST's example and support these municipalities, emphasizing the importance of meeting the needs of the population effectively.
As a reminder, TENFOREST is a project dedicated to securing the collective land rights of women in rural areas in Burkina Faso.
