Abstract: L’eÌ conomie burkinabeÌ€, baseÌ e sur l’agriculture, occupe environ 70% de la population active. Sa contribution aÌ€ la formation du PIB est estimeÌ e aÌ€ 35% en moyenne. Dans ce secteur, travaillent 83% des femmes qui assurent 75% de la production alimentaire malgreÌ leur acceÌ€s limiteÌ aÌ€ la terre et aux ressources productives. Face aÌ€ ces contraintes, le Gouvernement a adopteÌ des mesures visant aÌ€ ameÌ liorer les conditions de vie des femmes rurales par leur acceÌ€s aÌ€ la terre et aux intrants agricoles notamment. Notre eÌ tude eÌ value aÌ€ l’aide d’un modeÌ€le d’eÌ quilibre geÌ neÌ ral calculable statique les effets macroeÌ conomiques et sectoriels de ces mesures sur l’emploi et le revenu des femmes. D’apreÌ€s les reÌ sultats, l’accroissement de l’offre de terre, d’eÌ quipement agricole, et la reÌ duction du couÌ‚t de l’engrais contribuent aÌ€ la seÌ curiteÌ alimentaire, la croissance eÌ conomique et l’ameÌ lioration des conditions de vie des femmes par la creÌ ation d’emploi et l’ameÌ lioration du revenu des meÌ nages. / The Burkina Faso economy, based on agriculture, employs about 70% of the active population. It contribution to GDP is estimated on average at 35%. In agricultural sector, 83% of women produce 75% of food production despite their limited access to land and productive resources. Faced to these constraints, the Government has adopted measures to improve the living conditions of rural women through their access to land and agricultural inputs in particular. Our study uses a static computable general equilibrium model to assess the macroeconomic and sectorial effects of these measures on women's employment and income. Results show that, increasing the supply of land, agricultural equipment, and reducing the cost of fertilizer contribute to food security, economic growth and improve living conditions of women through job creation and improved household income.
