| Description : |
The execution of the Solar Regional Program of the CILSS, financed with the support of the European Commission, was carried out between 1989 and 1999. After an evaluation of the project that installed 626 solar pumps and 646 community systems (lighting, refrigeration), the present study aims at defining the second phase, drawn to regional scale, by learning on the lessons of the PRS and difficulties met in its execution. |

| Description of the Actual Services Provided | The study has unfolded in three stages : - Stage n°1 : Establishment of the current situation * Evolution of materials : performance and costs, interest of an extension of the range. * Analysis of data of PRS on demand : level of consumption to retain for the dimensioning of pumps. * Up to date of exploitation and management conditions. * Analysis of maintenance solutions (content and costs of contracts). * Analysis of the savings. * Analysis of modes of exploitation : community benevolent, … - Stage n°2 : Definition of the program * Insertion of the PRS II in national hydraulic policies of the small centre rural, specificity of the solar pumping. * Legal framework for a delegation to private developers. * Definition of basis principles of the financing of equipment (investment, maintenance, renewal - ; State share and users). * Modes of system management. * Definition of State responsibilities, economic operators, responsibilities of users. * Definition of execution procedures * Specific activities of the PRS II on installed pumps in the course of the phase I - Stage 3 : writing of the document of program of the PRS phase II |
