Burkina Faso - Feeder Roads Project

The present intervention relates to the feeder roads project. This project is a component of the second sectoral transport programme. It concerns the improvement of 1,016 km of feeder roads in the 13 cotton production and market gardening provinces, the construction and equipment of 45 offices and accommodations in the 45 provinces, the purchase of 11,250 light equipment and their delivery to the 45 provinces, the purchase and delivery of site equipment to the CFP, the supply of 400 ass-drawn carts and bicycles for the women’s groups in the 13 cotton production and market gardening provinces, and the sensitisation of the populations of the PIA on environmental protection and sexually transmitted diseases (HIV/AIDS). The implementation of the project will contribute to the improvement of the living conditions of the rural populations in the 13-targeted provinces, notably by raising the price of the marketable surplus production and through better access to the basic social services (health centres, school, local administration). It comprises three (03) main components, namely: a) the development of rural roads; (b) institutional support; and (c) project management.
