MAIN AREAS OF EXPERTISE
• Hydrogeology (groundwater resource evaluation, exploration and management)
•
•
Hydrology
Irrigation and wetlands management
PROFESIONAL EXPERIENCES
Various job experiences with national and international institutions in Burkina Faso; NGO,
projects, research institutes in irrigation, water works construction, crop production systems,
diagnostic and performance assessment of hydraulic systems and irrigation, training of farmers
and agriculture officers. Working experiences in multi-disciplinary teams and cross-cultural
settings inside and outside Burkina Faso. Professional experiences include:
•
INERA – Institut de l’Environnement et de Recherches Agricoles du Burkina Faso. From 1999
to 2003, Coordinator of IVC project (Inland Valleys Consortium hosted by WARDA-West
African Rice Development Association) for sustainable rice productivity improvement at the
Blétou valley in Burkina Faso.
From 2001 to 2003, supervision of a multidisciplinary 2-year research project on fodder
production in wetlands in the pastoral zone of northern Burkina Faso (Thion valley) funded by
IVC/CBF (in WARDA). The project goal was to determine suitable fodder that can be grown
under wetlands ecosystem conditions, nutritive and appreciated by ruminants for large
production.
