Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso often struggles with drought, a disaster for the herds and livestock keepers. Due to a lack of pasture, water, feed and animal healthcare, cows produce too little milk. The refugee flow from Mali (since 2012) puts even more pressure on the scarce water resources and grasslands.
