Overview

Burkina Faso offers a variety of storage solutions from the private to the public sector to meet the humanitarian needs across the country. In general, storages are concrete buildings and meet the minimum storage conditions. Renting or loaning land to install a mobile storage unit is also a practical option. In the private sector, storage solutions come from merchants in import/export, cement companies, wholesalers or logistics companies. In the public sector, Ministry of Agriculture, SONAGESS (Société Nationale de Gestion du Stock de Sécurité Alimentaire ) or the CAMEG (Centrale d'Achat des Médicaments Essentiels Génériques et des Consommables Médicaux) have a network of storage across the country. Therefore, it is recommended to explore both sectors when sourcing a storage solution. In addition, national humanitarian organizations are highly active in country with strong local connections and they often have some storage in remote areas. Therefore, they can provide temporary storage solutions to any organization during short term operations like distributions. Key to find and identify a storage is to contact all the economic actors within the new area of operation regardless of private or public sector.

Public Sector Storage

The public sector can offer a storage solution to humanitarian organizations if space is available at the time of request. The main identified sources are the SONAGESS , the Ministry of Agriculture and the CCI who have a large storage capacity across the country. It is recommended to visit their local representative to verify the space availability then to make an official request at regional/national level. Their facilities meet the standard minimum requirement of storage with buildings in good condition (concrete, large doors, well ventilated and easy access for trucks).

For medical, the CAMEG meets the good storage practices for pharmaceuticals and offers a full solution from procurement to distribution with their own fleet.
