Introduction:
The project PROMACS, ‘Promoting Climate Change Adaptation in a Context of Multiple Crises in Burkina Faso. The Role of Civil Servants ’ studies the intersections between the climatic crisis, the escalating security crisis, and the (chronic) health crisis in Burkina Faso. More specifically, we examine ethnographically how civil servants in three key ministries work to ‘keep the wheels running’ and how they understand their own roles in policy promotion and implementation in the current context of multiple crises.

An important outcome of this project is the provision of in-depth understanding of how civil servants working in the ‘core of the state’ understand the challenges and potentialities for the enhancement of sustainable development in Burkina Faso and how focus and coordination of CCA initiatives can be strengthened in a context of multiple crises. The project takes an ethnographic approach exploring the professional as well as the personal narratives of a number of civil servants. In addition, the project examines the social life of key documents (particularly the National Action Plan for Climate Change Adaptation) in order to examine the stakes and the balance of power surrounding these documents. The overall design of the project takes the current fragile security situation in Burkina Faso into account through a combination of short-term institutional fieldwork with extensive use of digital research methods. The PhD project will work thematically across the three key ministries with a strong focus on the intersection between the climatic crisis and health.

The PhD program in anthropology provides PhD students with training that opens up a window of opportunity to a variety of careers within the private and public sectors. The program includes drafting a PhD thesis, active participation in research networks, PhD courses, teaching, and other forms of knowledge dissemination. The PhD is a three-year full-time study within the framework of a 5+3 study program.
