Burkina Faso - Small Dams Rehabilitation Project

The Small Dams Rehabilitation Project is the first phase of rehabilitation of about forty small dams and associated irrigated perimeters (about 2,000 ha), in the central plateau area. The project intends above all to set up a management system bringing together all the users, of decentralized type, and able to ensure in the long term the durability of the care. Management committees will be created and formed, and prerequisites will have to be met before project intervention. The project will also support the development and intensification of agricultural production on the perimeters. It will also contribute to the finalization of the database on small dams in Burkina Faso. The main components of the project are: A) capacity building; B) rehabilitation works; and C) project management. The total cost of the project, excluding taxes and customs duties, is estimated at CFAF 10.249 million or UA 11.36 million and is planned to be implemented over a period of 6 years.
