During the Earth Charter Initiative consultation process back in the 90s, there were three active groups in Burkina Faso: The National Council for Sustainable Development (CONAGESE), the Green Cross Burkina Faso and the Volunteer Association for Development (ADV). The CONAGESE is an organization functioning under the umbrella of the government of Burkina Faso and is a multi-stakeholder council.
 
Starting in 1998, these organizations promoted the idea of the Earth Charter throughout their network, and were active in generating feedback to the drafting process of the Earth Charter. During that time, The Green Cross Burkina Faso formed an Earth Charter Committee, which included the participation of several key people and organizations in the country. This group continues to have an active environmental education program that started in 1998, where the Earth Charter principles and values have been discussed and promoted in schools. They held several education contests related to the Earth Charter from 1998 to 2004; one of them was the International Youth Art Contest that involved a significant number of children from various countries.
 
The ADV has over 20 years of experience promoting community development and participation in Burkina Faso and they were actively incorporating the Earth Charter in their activities through 1998 and 1999.
