In Burkina Faso, efficient management of political, social and economic regression caused by the intensification of disaster risks, climate change and security risks practically require a significant effort in taking into account these risks in the political, economic and social governance. This paper addresses an approach, methodologies and decision-making tools for the development of a policy reference framework for the efficient management of the economic, social and political threats relating to disaster risks, climate change and security risks for Burkina Faso. The scientific framework for the content of the paper is the Badolo class of tools for resilience and sustainability, consisting of the analogue vector, the Climprospect methodological framework, the resilience triangle, the resilience trajectory segments and the Badolo model for resilience patterns. The implementation of the Badolo class of tools generates categories of information for resilience objectives which are based on contextual capacities for action and resilience needs and priorities. These include a number of direct and indirect impacts, sets of vulnerability factors, resilience solutions and vulnerability indicators. These sets are characterized by their multi-dimensional and multi-hazard approaches, by the inclusion of indirect impacts, gender issues and contextual specificities. Basically, an integration of the decision-support tools we addressed will make available for Burkina Faso resilience schemes governed by criteria of relevance, efficiency and performance. Such schemes make it possible to break down complex resilience trajectories into segments of less complex resilience trajectories, requiring less effort and investment.
