Background
This training session was part of the strengthening of the actors involved in promoting the transition towards an inclusive green economy on the one hand, and to equip actors for effective participation in the ongoing environmental tax reform on the other hand. The ongoing tax reform should eventually propose a fiscal framework in favour of the greening of Burkina Faso's economy, particularly its rural sector.

More specifically, it was a matter of :
- Introducing participants to the basic concepts of green taxation;
- Presenting the main principles of green taxation;
- Presenting the different tools of green taxation;
- Discussing some experiences in the implementation of green taxation;
- Establishing the links between green taxation and the greening of the national economy;
- Presenting cases of application of environmental taxation in Burkina Faso.
