The Burkina Faso government has launched the Priority Action Program for Drinking Water in the city of Bobo-Dioulasso after securing financing of €20 million from Agence Francaise de Developpement (AFD).

Burkina Faso’s National Office for Water and Sanitation will use these funds to strengthen raw water production in Nasso, a rural commune in Bobo-Dioulasso, by building a new water pumping station. The water treated in this commune will be conveyed to Bobo–Dioulasso via an 800mm diameter pipe. The government of Burkina Faso is also planning the construction of a 5,000 m3 reservoir.

The National Office for Water and Sanitation has two years to complete all the work.
