PRACTICAL TRAINING SESSION FOR FIE STAFF IN THE GROVE OF DISTRICT N°6 OF OUAGADOUGOU

How to water a tree? How to maintain it? How to go about ridding the tree of parasites in order to ensure its survival? The Director General of the Environmental Intervention Fund (FIE), Delwendé Davy NANEMA and his colleagues were entitled to a practical training session on all these questions, on the evening of Monday, January 27, 2025, in the grove of district No. 6 of Ouagadougou. A session that allowed everyone to learn the techniques for taking care of a plant.

The grove in district No. 6 of Ouagadougou, developed in tandem by the Environmental Intervention Fund and the town hall, aims to contribute to strengthening the vegetation cover and environmental education; provide ecosystem, social and even economic services. It also aims to improve the microclimate of the neighborhood; mitigate the effects of air pollution; improve local biodiversity; promote relaxation and development of local residents and serve as an educational space to raise public awareness of botany and ecology. In short, the grove development project in district No. 6 of Ouagadougou aims to improve the living environment of local populations.

More than 600 tree seedlings to be combined with a suitable number of shrubs and herbaceous plants will be planted on the land with an area of approximately 2,000 m2 located in the Cissin district .

FIE workers have organized themselves, on a voluntary basis, to ensure the watering and maintenance of the plants while waiting for a more suitable mechanism to be put in place.
