Abstract :

In order to improve the living conditions of rural African populations, the concept of multifunctional platform was initiated by the United Nations Development Program. The success of these multifunctional platforms in West Africa is proof that the concept is an effective solution to the problems of poverty and access to modern energy faced by people, particularly the women, in sub-Saharan rural areas. However, although the platforms are an appropriate solution to ease the painful labour of the village women as part of an integrated social and economic approach, they use heat engines pollution source. These heat engines are the cause of many problems such as: the damage to human health, global warming and environmental pollution. In this paper, Burkina Faso�s National Fleet multifunctional platforms and the assessment of the amount of greenhouse gases it emits at its various stages of evolution that bleed from 2000 to 2012, is being presented.
