Burkina Faso - Sub-project 1: Drainage of Ouagadougou’s Outlying Districts (SPAQPO)

The proposed sub-project is the outcome of technical studies financed by the African Water Facility (AWF) in 2012 that helped to identify the sanitation project for Ouagadougou City’s outlying districts; the project comprises aspects relating to drainage, solid waste management, and the road network. This operation addresses drainage and solid waste management issues, and constitutes the backbone of all future operations. The key expected outcomes are: (i) development of the entire length (4140 m) of the Mogho Naaba backwater and its tributaries; (ii) the construction of 68 solid waste collection and sorting centres, and (iii) the development of 22 landfill cells. It will be implemented over a period of four (4) years. Its cost, exclusive of taxes and duties, is estimated at UA 36.98 million.
