Summary

Early 2005, the Institut Africain de Bio-Economie Rurale (IABER), with financial support from IICD, initiated a project to provide information on agricultural markets through a television programme entitled TV Koodo, which is linked to the IABER website (www.iaber.bf). This project provides viewers of Burkina Faso’s national television channel with monthly information on market prices for livestock and grain, in addition to discussing various topics with guests invited to participate in the broadcasts.
