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