The brief synthesizes robust evidence on soil and water conservation practices (SWCPs), a subset of Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) practices that strengthen household resilience to climate shocks in Burkina Faso and Sub-Saharan Africa. The findings highlight a set of proven practices, including zai pits, half-moons, stone bunds, mulching, irrigation and sustainable water harvesting and management. These practices have demonstrated measurable impacts on yield gains, improved soil fertility, increased water retention, enhanced food security, and income stability, particularly in drought-prone and degraded environments.
