The financial cooperation programme consists of the following components (results) which are in close synergy with the technical cooperation programmes and will be implemented in different phases:

Phase 1 (covered by this contract)

  1. Campaigns of large flow rates drilling in the towns and their surroundings of the four programme regions (selected towns: Bama, Banfora, Bérégadougou, Dandé, Diébougou, Houndé, Mangodara, Niangoloko, Orodara, Pa, Péni, Sideradougou, Sindou, Solenzo, Soubakaniédougou, Toussiana);

  3. Construction of water main from Banfora to Panga and from Panga to Niangoloko in the south and to Soubakaniédougou in the north, as well as 65 water standpipes for water provision to the villages along the water line;
  4. Rehabilitation and expansion of the water treatment systems of Banfora and Niangoloko.

Further phases (depending on availability of funding) in the following order of priority

  1. Energy saving measures by using hydraulic power for the water treatment system in Banfora and through solar energy production for the existing boreholes;
  2. Expansion of sewage network of Bobo Dioulasso and commissioning of 450 additional connections to the system (limited to studies);
  3. Support to ONEA in elaborating preliminary and detailed studies, preparing tender documents and in construction supervision;

Accompanying measures

  • Development and implementation of hygiene awareness campaigns in the 2 towns and villages concerned in this phase (Banfora, Niangoloko and the villages along the water line) aiming at appropriate and sustainable use of drinking water and sanitary facilities through behavior change (promoting the value of drinking water, establishing customer service costs and their sustainable recovery, management and maintenance systems for sanitary facilities etc.);

  • Monitoring these two preceding measures through carrying out two surveys: one at the beginning of the programme in order to specify the current status and another one at the end of the programme for measuring the impact of these measures, especially on public health (first measure) and on sustainable facility management (second measure).
Objectives: 

The main objective of the programme is to provide the underequipped small and medium towns of the programme region with a sustainable and appropriate infrastructure for water supply and sanitation which is operational during the whole year.
