	IK Notes #77: Indigenous innovation in farmer-to-farmer extension in Burkina Faso
		In the Yatenga Region of Burkina Faso, local improvements on a traditional farming technique have become very widespread, largely on account of the innovativeness of farmers in developing their own forms of farmer-to-farmer extension.
		In the early 1980s, farmers in the Yatenga Region of the densely populated Central Plateau in Burkina Faso developed – on their own initiative – methods of rehabilitating degraded land by improving the traditional planting pits known as zaï.
		The experiments conceived by the farmers include comparing the impact of compost and non-decomposed manure and testing an early-maturing variety of millet that is rare in Yatenga Region.

	La politique extérieure d'un royaume africain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The foreign policy of an African kingdom: Yatenga in the 19th century.- In the second half of the 19th century, the northern Mosi kingdom of Yatenga under Naaba Kango (1757-1787) asserts its power over several small kingdoms within the borders of Mosiland.
		From 1820 on Yatenga's foreign policy is defined in reaction to the aims of Seku Amadu's Masina kingdom upon Jelgoji.
		Yatenga seeks, firstly, to contain Seku Amadu and to prevent a Fulani secession within its own borders, and secondly, passes itself as a protector of the Jelgobe in order to get a footing in their territory -- a policy they will defeat by outsmarting both Masina and Yatenga.

		The study enabled us to mark out, map and characterize the natural, human and socioeconomic features of the study area; to identify the most urgent environmental factors for human health, without assessing them; and to identify the illnesses affecting the most vulnerable social strata in the study area.
		Finally, we linked productive activities to the health of riverside populations.The results led us to determine that developing mechanisms to reduce the risks to the health of the ecosystem and of human populations due to the Yatenga dam requires better awareness of the links between environmental deterioration and the impact on human health.
		These results could be replicated for developments in similar socioecological conditions elsewhere in West Africa.
