    Report on the country team session

    Brief evaluation

    of the domestic biogas sector in


    Burkina Faso

    Three most relevant STRENGTHS


    Positive role of Government in steering and contributions, domestic biogas is now part of the 2011-2015 Government policy for sustainable development;

    Working trough a national network of implementing partner


    organisations;

    The programme has been able to reduce construction cost


    for 6m3 plant from USD 1,100 to USD 800. Further reduction is possible.

    Three most relevant WEAKNESSES


    Lack of access to affordable credit for potential biodigester owners; Expensive programme set-up; Quality monitoring and enforcement system for construction, appliances and A.S.S., Dbase management.

    Three most relevant OPPORTUNITIES


    Large technical potential; Bio-fertiliser recognised as a valuable commodity by the male household heads; Farmers are often well organised in different groups, i.e. union of cotton growers, which can become effective

    marketing channels.

    Three most relevant THREATS


    Overall lack of quality consciousness by producers of goods and services; People (clients, service providers, Government, ) are

    used to traditional development projects;


    Lack of entrepreneurial spirit at village level.

    Action points to overcome weaknesses

    Set-up a credit product through rural MFIs Performance based incentives for implementing partners New Dbase system and a split between service providers and QC.

    Action points to overcome threats

    QC, QC, QC; Client focus instead of product focus at all levels of the

    programme/sector
    Creating an enabling environment for (potential)

    entrepreneurs

    Any other important result/message

    It takes time but we will get


    there!
