'Eau, Clé du Développement Durable' (Burkina Faso)

Strengthen the capacity of Burkina Faso’s regional water authorities for the local management of the natural water resources

Burkina Faso is one of the many countries in Africa that has a progressive institutional framework and has introduced many valuable innovations in the decentralised management of water resources. However, there is scope to strengthen the application of decentralised water, sanitation, and hygiene governance and delivery systems, and to guide investments in the direction of providing a quality and sustainable service amid growing climate uncertainties.

Activities

The project will be implemented through five Water Agencies in Burkina Faso (Agences de l’Eau) and will make a direct impact on the systems of 17 Local Water Committees (CLE's). Together, SNV and World Waternet will strengthen the capacity of the water agencies and the CLE’s to carry out their water management responsibilities in line with the national framework. Enhanced capacity for WASH governance will be complemented by the application of examples of sustainable investment technologies and approaches in soil and water conservation, drinking water supply, sanitation and hygiene services, and small holder agriculture practices for potential upscaling.
