| Description : |
The feasibility study of the burkinabé component of the PRS II enters within the framework of the definition of the Solar Regional Program - phase II (PRSII) in the CILSS countries. The definition of the PRS the regional level is nearly finished, and the principles of the program are established. |

| Description of the Actual Services Provided | Expected activities in the framework of the PRS II that will be executed in each of the countries are : * Activities 1 : Study and implementation of management conditions, distribution and utilization of solar drinking water supply systems concurring the objective of the sustainable development of the supply of drinking water in rural areas. * Activities 2 : Optimisation of systems implemented during the preceding phase of the PRS in view to realize conditions of their viability. * Activity 3 : Installation of new drinking water supplies fed by solar energy at least cost corresponding to solvable demand of the population of sub-urban centres. The feasibility study of the burkinabé component of the PRS II enters very clearly in the dynamics of the PRS II in the way that it studies precisely management conditions, distribution and utilization of solar drinking water supply systems of solar (activity 1) and defines the content of optimisation activities (activity 2) and new system installation (activity 3). In this sense, it is more than a simple feasibility study as it constitutes a first stage of the PRS II to the Burkina Faso project. |
