Crise ivoirienne, envois de fonds et pauvreté au Burkina Faso

[eng] Jean-Pierre Lachaud — The horion crisis, remittances and poverty in Burkina Faso Based on the data of household surveys in Burkina Faso, the study shows a fall and a new relative distribution of the remittances from Ivory Coast during the period 1998-2003. Whereas more than half of the households getting transfers benefited from redistribution from Ivory Coast in 1998, they were no more than a quarter in 2003. The study suggests a significant relation between the decline of remittances from Ivory Coast and the rise of national poverty, especially transient poverty, during the same period.
