To address development challenges, Burkina Faso has developed the National Program for Decentralized Rural Development (PNDRD), a fifteen year program whose objective is to reduce poverty and promote sustainable development in rural areas.
"In line with Burkina Faso's national strategy, the project will strengthen the capacity of grass-roots organizations and interest groups by making available financial resources to support income generating activities, build socio-economic infrastructures, and further develop activities that contribute to improving the productive potential and sustainable management of natural resources," said Emmanuel Y. Nikiema, World Bank Team Leader for the project.
Capacity building activities will help develop the technical and fiduciary skills needed at the different decentralized levels to implement local development activities. Rural communes and villages are expected to guide those activities by formulating and keeping up-to-date development plans and investment programs while being sure to include all the stakeholders involved. Support will also be provided for a national coordination unit that will be established for the overall management of the project.
