The Development Learning Center Project will test the viability of a distance learning institution in Burkina Faso, as well as its ability in approaching international knowledge, to improve implementation of the Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP), Bank financed projects, and in the coordination of local training institutions as regards national capacity building policy. The three main components are: 1) construction and establishment of the Development Learning Center (CEDO), which will include facilities building comprising a videoconference room, computer rooms, technical and administrative centers, and, the installation of electrical, and telecommunication lines, in addition to satellite, telecommunication, and classroom equipments. This component has been financed by the Project Preparation Facility (PPF), so that distance learning activities could start immediately after project effectiveness; 2) support for CEDO's operation, by financing operating costs on a decreasing basis over the first three years of operation; and, by providing technical assistance for staff training, to conduct periodic evaluations on the Center's operation, and management, as well as for the establishment of financial accounts, and annual auditing; and, 3) monitoring and evaluation of CEDO's activities, and the pilot achievements and performance indicators, respectively.
