BURKINA FASO Climate Policy Diagnostic October2025 Prepared By Suphachol Suphachalasai, Alberto Garcia Huitron, Michal Pietrkiewicz, Sunalika Singh, andSylke von Thadden-Kostopoulos Fiscal Affairs Department ©2025 International Monetary Fund [HLS/25/047] High-LevelSummary Technical Assistance Report Fiscal Affairs Department Burkina Faso: Climate Policy DiagnosticPrepared by Suphachol Suphachalasai, Alberto Garcia Huitron, Michal Pietrkiewicz,Sunalika Singh, and Sylke von Thadden-Kostopoulos TheHigh-LevelSummary Technical Assistance Reportseries provides high-level summaries of theassistance provided to IMF capacity development recipients, describing the high-level objectives, ABSTRACT: Climate-related risks are macro-critical considerations for Burkina Faso. This Climate PolicyDiagnostic identifies policy reforms that reduce balance of payment risks, boost fiscal resilience, andgenerate positive climate outcomes. A robust package of fiscal policies is key to accelerating energyaccess and transition, while a holistic approach to reform is needed to promote water and food security.

Extremeheat and extreme rainfall are becoming more intense and are projected to worsen with climate change. A robust package of fiscal policies is key to accelerating energy access and transition.A dualobjective of expanding energy access and transitioning to cleaner energy makes economic sense forBFA. To accelerate renewable energyadoption, BFA could introduce a feed-in tariff for renewable energywith storage capacity, update the decree on auto-production to allow households to sell excess supply tothe grid, and require a minimum storage capacity in new renewable energy projects. Electricity tariffreformwould be greatly beneficial: a framework for gradual adjustments, with a view to achieve cost- A holistic approachto reformis needed to promote water and food security.Regulationsshould bedeveloped to (i) clarify the responsibilities of sector agencies involvedin the water sector, (ii) setrequirements and parameters for sustainable abstraction of surface water and groundwater, and (iii)guide the adoption of measures to improve water use efficiency. Key institutions and their coordinationcanbe strengthened to enable better planning and decision making, including the role of the NationalWater Council as an advisory body, the coordination between the river basin authorities and sector Efficient disaster risk management and financingwillsave lives and build economic resilience.Itis crucial that BFA’s disaster risk management (DRM) strategy strikes the right balance between investingin ex-ante preparedness and ex-post response to disasters. In the context of post-disaster response, BFAcould develop a comprehensive national disaster risk financing (DRF) strategy to assess the risks andidentify policy levers for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of existing fiscal mechanisms,makingsocial protection more shock-responsive, and transferring risks outside of the government budget where Sustainable forestry, land-use, and waste management can be supported by good fiscal policies. There is an urgent need to address competing land-use for fuel, food, and forestry—to reduce slash-and-burn agricultural practices, unsustainable fuelwood production, and forest degradation.The governmentcould revise the tax on profits for forestry activities to provide preferable tax rates for companies withsustainability certification that meets international standards. To support the uptake of climate smartagriculture, sustainability-linked conditionality could be gradually introduced in existing support providedto farmers. In the longer term, a payment for environmental services scheme could be developed to help Strong climate governancehelps streamline implementation and reduce costs toward building resilience.BFA presently lacks a comprehensive climate legislative framework, while the proliferation ofi
