Contexte et Origine du Projet :L’économie du Burkina Faso repose sur le secteur agro-sylvo-pastoral qui contribue fortement au PIB national et occupe plus de 90% de la population active. Cependant, ce secteur est soumis régulièrement aux effets de la variabilité et du changement climatique tels que les sécheresses et les inondations qui affectent négativement la performance de l’économie nationale limitant ainsi le développement socio-économique du pays.

Origine et contexte du Projet

La conception du projet repose sur la mise en eau des plaines afin de permettre la mise en valeur durable des abondantes ressources en terres.

Background: The project rationale emanates from the dire need to increase access to safe, sustainable and inclusive sanitation and hygiene, with improved management of faecal sludge for people living in small and medium size urban centres in Ghana.
