Burkina Faso: Summary of Findings of 2009 Drilling Study and Draft National Code of Conduct

Under the umbrella of the Rural Water Supply Network (RWSN), SKAT has been commissioned by USAID / UNICEF to study how to optimize the costs of boreholes construction in the three countries of Zambia, Ghana and Burkina Faso. The main output of the studies is the definition of a national protocol/code of conduct for the construction of boreholes specific to each country.

The Burkina Faso mission described in this report was done in November 2009 by a team of two experts Bruno Duffau (water engineer) and Inoussa Ouedraogo (hydrogeologist).

In terms of context, in Burkina Faso, the dialogue in the water sector has been fruitful and has allowed for a) the establishment of a Sector Wide Approach supported by three donors (DANIDA, ASDI and the European Commission); b) the establishment of a common fund for technical assistance and  c) the definition of a national strategic plan (PN-AEPA).

The Code of Conduct fits into the national strategies and can be used as a tool for the implementation of the national plan (PN-AEPA). A first draft of the Code of Conduct was discussed during the mission. There was relatively little involvement of the donors but strong ownership by the Government. Donors comments are expected at the beginning of 2010.

This report provides a summary (in English) of the mission report and of the Code of Conduct, which are both in French.
