EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Project Overview: The Electrification Project for Semi-Urban Areas of Ouagadougou and
Bobo-Dioualasso (PEPU) is an investment project that seeks to expand the electrical networks
and establish electrical connections. The project objective is to increase the electricity access
rate in Burkina Faso, especially in the outlying districts of the above towns. Although these
towns have recorded significant population growth over the last decade, they still do not have
access to electricity. The project therefore aims to restructure and expand the medium and low-
voltage distribution networks in the country’s two largest towns, install transformer sub-
stations, and establish 17,500 connections to households. The project also comprises several
activities intended to strengthen SONABEL’s operational capacity through the procurement of
logistic resources, operating equipment, and electricity calculation software, as well as through
the training of field workers and staff in charge of conducting studies. Two studies are
scheduled under this project so as to prepare for future Bank interventions in the sector; the
total cost of the studies are estimated at UA 37.76 million. The project will be co-financed by
ADF (72%), SONABEL (15%) and the State (13%). Implementation will span a period of 48
months from 2017 to 2020.
Needs Assessment: Electricity access1 in Burkina Faso is one of the lowest in the world, with
a national rate of 18.83% in 2015 compared to the African average of 40%. The national
electricity coverage rate2 was 33.32% in 2015 and the Government intends to get out of this
situation by 2035. Indeed, the Energy Sector Policy (POSEN) 2014-2025 adopted in 2013 by
Government is built on a vision: “the energy sector of Burkina Faso, which is based on
indigenous resources and regional cooperation, provides universal access to modern energy
services and confirms its role as driver of sustainable development”. It is also based on the
vision charted by the prospective study on energy in Burkina Faso. If achieved, this vision will
lead to universal access to energy services through low-cost energy supply to the country,
greater supply of modern, environmentally-friendly and generally affordable energy to rural
areas, as well as the development of renewable sources of energy.
Bank’s Value Added: The project is largely based on the Ouagadougou Power Networks
Restructuring and Extension Study conducted in 2015. The study was financed by the Bank
with resources from an ADF grant approved in July 2010, as part of the Grid Reinforcement
and Rural Electrification Project (PRIELER) which is near completion. The study proposed
appropriate technical solutions for better structuring of the Ouagadougou power network and
best options for its expansion to satisfy the steadily-growing demand in semi-urban areas. Apart
from documents treating technical and economic aspects, the final design and bidding
documents for the electrification works in the semi-urban areas of Ouagadougou were prepared
and delivered, and this facilitated early start-up, with Bank approval, through the Advanced
Procurement Action (APA).
Knowledge Building: A monitoring-evaluation baseline situation will be established by the
executing agency to enable the Bank and other stakeholders to draw lessons from the project
implementation. The executing agency will prepare an inventory, and update information/data
sources to serve as performance or warning indicators in quarterly progress reports. Information
obtained from the monitoring-evaluation system will be compared to the results of socio-
economic surveys so as to assess the project impacts. This information will be processed by the
country and the Bank during monitoring and supervision missions.

REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS BY MANAGEMENT TO THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS CONCERNING A PROPOSAL TO AWARD AN ADF LOAN AND AN
ADF GRANT TO BURKINA FASO TO THE FINANCE THE ELECTRIFICATION
PROJECT FOR SEMI-URBAN AREAS OF OUAGADOUGOU AND BOBO-
DIOULASSO (PEPU)
Management hereby submits this report and recommendations concerning a proposal to award
an ADF loan of UA 20.60 million and an ADF grant of UA 6.63 million to the Government of
Burkina Faso to finance the Electrification Project for Semi-Urban Areas of Ouagadougou and
Bobo-Dioulasso (PEPU).
I. STRATEGIC THRUST AND RATIONALE
1.1. Project Linkages with Country Strategy and Objectives
1.1.1. The project is in line with the Accelerated Growth and Sustainable Development
Strategy (AGSDS) 2011-20153 adopted end-2010, whose objective is to achieve robust,
sustained and quality growth that will not only have a bandwagon effect on the level of
improvement of incomes and overall living standards, but will also comply with the principles
of sustainable development. The project is also consistent with Burkina Faso’s new reference
framework for development – the National Economic and Social Development Plan (PNDES)
2016-2020 that is being adopted. The PNDES focuses on three (3) strategic areas, with the
overall goal of structural transformation of the national economy for strong inclusive growth.
Furthermore, the project is specifically aligned on the strategic area which targets the
development of infrastructure that can structurally transform the economy and foster job-
creation, especially in the energy sector. It is also consistent with the Bank’s Country Strategy
Paper (CSP 2012-2016) for Burkina Faso, whose first pillar is the development of
transformative infrastructure that supports growth.
1.1.2. Electricity access in Burkina Faso is one of the lowest in Africa, with about 18.83% at
national level, compared to the average of 40% in Africa and 32% in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Electricity is still inaccessible to the vast majority of people in Burkina Faso, especially those
living in semi-urban and rural areas where over 73% of the country’s total population is
concentrated as against 23% in urban areas. The Energy Sector Policy (POSEN), adopted by
the Government in 2013 with the overall goal of making energy accessible to all the people, is
built on a vision: “the energy sector of Burkina Faso, which is based on indigenous resources
and regional cooperation, provides universal access to modern energy services and confirms
its role as driver of sustainable development”. The vision is also based on the vision charted
by the prospective study on energy conducted in Burkina Faso in 2009, which outlines the
country’s major plans for the sector by 2035. The project will help to achieve the POSEN
objective of increasing the electricity access rate to 60% by 2025.
1.2. Rationale for Bank Involvement
1.2.1 The first rationale for Bank involvement is that of ensuring project compliance with
the Bank’s 2012-2016 CSP for Burkina Faso. It is included in the Bank’s indicative operations
programme for the country during the 2012-2016 CSP period. It will contribute not only to
achieving the goals of the CSP’s first pillar related to the development of growth-support
infrastructure, but also to achieving the goals expected under the second pillar related to
governance, taking into account its inclusive scope. Indeed, it will help to satisfy an ever-
growing, pressing social demand in the semi-urban districts of Ouagadougou and Bobo-
3 The implementation of AGSDS 2010-2015 was extended to the first half of 2016 until finalization at end-July 2016 of the new reference
framework for development – the National Economic and Social Development Plan (PNDES) 2016-2020.

Dioulasso which, despite the significant population growth recorded over the last decade, still
do not benefit from basic social services, including electricity. Since the project stems from a
Bank-financed study nearing completion, it ensures continuity and complementarity with the
Bank’s energy sector interventions in Burkina Faso.
1.2.2 The project is consistent with the Bank’s Ten-Year Strategy 2013-2022 as it is in line
with its operational pillar for development of durable infrastructure capable of improving
energy security. The project is also in line with the “High-5” – five major priority objectives
defined by the Bank in 2015 to reinforce and accelerate the impacts obtained from the
implementation and development of the Bank’s Ten-Year Strategy. Specifically, it will
contribute to the achievement of the following three (3) priority objectives: (i) light up and
power Africa; (ii) industrialize Africa (making electrical power available for the creation of
small and medium-sized industries); and (iii) improve the quality of life of Africans. It will also
help to implement the Bank’s Energy Sector Policy approved in 2012, which has a two-fold
objective: (i) support efforts of Regional Member Countries (RMC) to improve access for the
population and production sectors to modern, reliable and affordable energy infrastructure and
services; and (ii) assist RMCs to develop an energy sector that is viable at the social, economic
and environmental levels. This financing proposal by the Bank is also justified because it is
aligned on the Bank’s Strategy for a New Deal on Energy for Africa approved in 2016 and
mainly aimed at ensuring universal access to energy by 2025. The project will also help to
achieve the objectives of flagship Programme No. 7 of this Strategy to promote access
programmes at the bottom of the pyramid.
1.2.3 In synergy with the Energy Sector Budget Support Programme (PASE), this operation
will help to implement the commitments contained in the performance contract signed in June
2015 by the State and SONABEL for the 2015-2019 period, which was one of the measures
precedent to the Bank’s approval of the programme in July 2015. The main commitments are:
(i) improvement of the technical performance; (ii) continuation of power network extension to
rural and semi-urban areas; (ii) improved access to electricity through 250,000 new connections
during the contract period ; and (iii) State onlending of grants and loans under the same
conditions stipulated in agreements signed between the State and Technical and Financial
Partners. Apart from expanding the power network to semi-urban areas, the project will also
build the capacity of SONABEL staff in charge of network management, operation and
maintenance. Two studies will be conducted to create two (2) remotely-controlled load
dispatching centres for the networks in Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso. These centres,
which are the best technical network management tools, will help to significantly boost service
quality in terms of electric power supply.
1.3. Aid Coordination
1.3.1 Several development partners (bilateral and multilateral) are involved in the energy
sector in Burkina Faso. Apart from the AfDB Group, the main development partners are AFD,
WB, EIB, IsDB, BOAD, EU and India. The table below summarizes the volume of power sector
investments over the past five years.

1.3.2 In compliance with the mechanism for coordinating and supervising the
implementation of Burkina Faso’s Accelerated Growth and Sustainable Development Strategy
(AGSDS) 2011-2015, a Mines, Quarries, Energy Sector Dialogue Framework (CSD-MCE) has
been established to supervise the implementation of Mining Sector Policies (POSEM) and
Energy Sector Policies (POSEN). It is chaired by the Minister of Energy, Mines and Quarries,
and brings together all stakeholders operating in these sectors, namely: Government
departments at central and decentralized levels, the private sector, civil society, local
authorities, and Technical and Financial Partners (TFP).
1.3.3 Since its establishment in 2006, the Burkina Faso Field Office (BFFO) has played a
key role in strengthening dialogue with the Government and development partners in the
country. The Field Office participates in CSD-MCE activities. To ensure coherence and
complementarity of interventions, project preparation and appraisal missions held meetings
with the sector TFPs represented at Ouagadougou.

2.2 Technical Solution Adopted and Alternatives Explored
2.2.1 With respect to electricity supply, given the nature of infrastructure to be constructed
in semi-urban areas, the option selected was to connect these areas to the existing power
networks in Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso. This solution is consistent with the option
taken by Burkina Faso to develop transport and electricity distribution networks. The aim is to
ensure gradual coverage of the national territory by a unified national grid that is linked to those
of neighbouring countries. This power network development strategy will allow for further
pooling and sharing of available electric power among the regions of the country, as well as
reduce the relatively high KWh cost price by using a more economical energy mix, placing in
cold reserve all large heavy fuel thermal plants and downgrading small isolated diesel
generation plants. This energy mix will comprise cheap energy: (i) imported from neighbouring
countries mainly Cote d’Ivoire and Ghana, which accounted for 36% of the supply mix in 2014;
(ii) generated locally by the Kompienga (14 MW) and Bagré (16 MW) hydropower dams; and
(iii) generated by the Zagtouli (33 MWp) and Ziga (1.3 MWp) photovoltaic solar plants being
developed, in addition to five solar power projects with total power of 100 MWp, through the
recruitment of private power producers.
2.2.2 With regard to works design, the option selected was the construction of MV (medium
voltage) overhead lines with “flag-shaped” arms using consoles or vertically arranged inclined
arms. Configuration variants were envisaged, but not selected for the following reasons.

resource allocation by expenditure category is attached as Annex B2. The total ADF loan
resources will be used for infrastructure, exclusively for the “works” expenditure category.
ADF grant resources will be used to finance all study and capacity building-related costs, and
part of the infrastructure costs.
2.5 Project Area and Beneficiaries
2.5.1 The project will be implemented in Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso municipalities,
as well as a buffer zone belonging to Saaba rural commune, close to the capital. Ouagadougou
currently has a population of about 1,906,004 people based on INSD estimates, comprising
48% male and 52% female. The urban population represents 95% of the total population. The
population growth rate is estimated at 9.8% per year, with a population density of more than
6,249 inhabitants per km². The last ten years witnessed a population explosion in Ouagadougou
compared to other localities in the region. The main cause of rural exodus, which prompts a
significant number of mostly young people to migrate to urban centres, is the search for paid
jobs or simply the attractiveness of city life. The age distribution of the population shows that
41% of the population is aged below 15 years, while the potentially active age-group (15 to 65
years) represents 66%, evidence of the capital’s youthful population. The age group above 65
years accounts for only 2.49% of the population. The population of Bobo-Dioulasso is currently
estimated at 537,728 inhabitants, 50.40% of them women. The youths (below 35 years) are in
the majority, and account for close to 57% of the population.
2.5.2 The project area (PA) covers the semi-urban areas of the above towns which, despite
the significant population growth over the past ten years, still do not have access to the electric
power network. This situation puts mounting social pressure on the public authorities and
SONABEL to electrify the well-to-do inhabited semi-urban areas. The PA covers 34,998
households, with 26,248 in Ouagadougou and 8,750 in Bobo Dioulasso, or a minimum of
222,000 potential beneficiaries, including at least 115,000 women.
2.5.3 The project’s direct beneficiaries are the 17,500 households that will be directly
connected to the electric power network thanks to the project and have access to electricity.
Several scores of schools and apprenticeship/training centres in the PA will also be directly
connected to the electricity network by the project. Furthermore, some of the many health units
in these semi-urban neighbourhoods have small conservation and sterilization equipment
(refrigerators, heaters, etc.) run intermittently on kerosene. Electricity supply to health centres
will help to significantly improve the preservation of pharmaceutical products, vaccines, blood
and other medical products. It will also facilitate the installation of new health equipment like
laboratory apparatus, minor surgery materials, and x-ray equipment. This will lead to
7
improvement in staff working conditions, better conservation of medical products, and better
healthcare, that will in turn increase the attendance rate of health units.
2.5.4 In addition to the above-mentioned direct beneficiaries, the entire population living in
the semi-urban areas of Ouagadougou and Bobo Dioulasso will benefit from the project’s
indirect spinoffs, thanks especially to the improved quality of basic public social services in
these neighbourhoods (education, training, health, hygiene and sanitation, and drinking water).
Modern and more reliable energy will also be available for their proper operation. The same
also applies to small enterprises, trading stores, administrative and municipal services,
workshops and processing units (grinding mills). Introducing electricity in these
neighbourhoods will also facilitate the emergence of new income-generating activities in agro-
food processing, new information and communication technologies, masonry, maintenance and
services.
2.5.5 SONABEL will also be a direct beneficiary of the project thanks to the expansion of
its distribution network in the two major towns of the country. Its operational capacity will also
be strengthened through: (i) the training of its workers in charge of network operation, studies
and planning; and (ii) the procurement of logistical resources, as well as network operation
equipment and appliances. The expansion of electricity networks will also benefit factories and
industries established in the project area. Lastly, local enterprises specialized in electricity, fifty
(50) of which are listed in the database of the Burkina Faso Chamber of Commerce and
Industry, will also benefit from the project through works contracts and sub-contracting.
2.6 Participatory Approach in Project Identification, Design and Implementation
2.6.1 The stakeholders were consulted during the conduct of the Environmental and Social
Impact Assessment (ESIA). Public meetings were held during project preparation and appraisal
missions in the presence of local authorities (prefects, service heads and regional directors),
SONABEL, municipal authorities, local chiefs and representatives of the beneficiary
population. These sessions were organized specifically in Ouagadougou’s 3rd and 7th
administrative districts, Saaba and Boulmiougou municipalities, and Bobo-Dioulasso’s 2nd
district. The meetings showed the very high level of stakeholder support for the project. The
following concerns were expressed: (i) strengthen power generation to avoid aggravating
outages already observed; (ii) guarantee service on all roads in the districts concerned; (iii)
adopt special social connection prices to enable access for all households, especially the
vulnerable ones; (iv) equip health centres and public schools situated in less well-to-do parts of
the project area (supply of solar kits) ; (v) establish and maintain stakeholder dialogue,
consultation and negotiation; (vi) involve municipalities and associations in project
management through information, sensitization and mobilization of the population concerned,
and facilitate works implementation; and (vii) provide public lighting on all roads in the project
area.
2.6.2 SONABEL will ensure that the participatory process is maintained throughout the
project implementation. Therefore, project-related information and communication campaigns
will be organized before SONABEL starts the works and contractors will be recruited on themes
related to worksite safety. Other information campaigns on the risks associated with the use of
electricity will be organized by SONABEL prior to powering the various neighbourhoods.
Lastly, information-gathering campaigns and new subscriber censuses will be organized during
promotional household connection operations. The concerns and expectations of the population
will be gathered during these campaigns, and appropriate action taken.

2.7 Bank Group Experience and Lessons Reflected in Project Design
2.7.1 As at 31 March 2016, the Bank’s active portfolio in Burkina comprised fifteen (15)
operations for a total amount of UA 340.81 million, with eleven (11) national projects
(including one private sector project) for UA 191.76 million (56.3%), and four (4) regional
projects for UA 149.04 million (43.7%). The infrastructure sector [(transport (46%); energy
(14%); water and sanitation (10%)] absorbs a predominant share of ongoing investments,
representing 70% of the portfolio, or UA 238.56 million. It is followed by the agricultural sector
(20%) for UA 68.16 million, and the social sector (10%) for UA 34.08 million.
2.7.2 During the last review on 30 March 2016, the performance of the Bank’s national
public portfolio was deemed satisfactory. In a portfolio of 15 operations, only one project – an
agricultural project (classified forest participatory management project) - is deemed
problematic. The energy sector recorded the best performance, followed by the transport and
social sectors. On the whole, national operations performed better than regional ones, which are
also the oldest projects in the portfolio. The cumulative portfolio disbursement rate stands at
32% with an average age of 3.1 years, indicating a relatively young portfolio. The energy sector
records the highest disbursement rate with 98%, followed by the social sector (80%), the
transport sector (22%), water and sanitation (10%), and agriculture and development (2%). No
Bank-financed energy sector operation in Burkina is behind schedule.
2.7.3 Since the start of its operations in Burkina Faso in 1970, the Bank has financed a total
of four (4) energy-sector operations. The first, approved in February 1984, concerned the
Kompienga hydropower plant (14 MW), a project whose completion report was submitted in
1991 and whose performance evaluation report was prepared in 1992. The second operation,
approved in 2002, concerned a rural electrification study that served as basis for the Grid
Reinforcement and Rural Electrification Project (PRIELER), approved by the Bank in 2010.
The latter project is near completion and will be closed in 2016. The outcomes and performance
of this project, which allowed for the electrification of 159 localities and connection to the
electricity network for 12,500 rural households, 34 health centres and 54 schools across all
regions of the country, are deemed satisfactory by the Bank and the Government. Given that
project is based on the Ouagadougou electricity network restructuring and extension study
financed by the Bank as part of the above project, there is some synergy in the Bank’s energy
sector interventions in Burkina. Lastly, the Bank’s fourth sector operation is the Energy Sector
Budget Support Programme (PASE) approved in July 2015. This emergency operation has
enabled SONABEL to have a fuel reserve today that can run its thermal plants for over 20 days.
2.7.4 The main lessons generally learned from the implementation of infrastructure projects
in Burkina Faso and similar countries are reflected in this project. Due regard has been given
to the need for an investment operation to have good quality data at entry, and specifically
ensure that appropriate studies have been conducted to facilitate project implementation. The
experience acquired during the PRIELER implementation was also taken into consideration. In
fact, although the outcomes were deemed satisfactory, the PRIELER works started behind
schedule due to the lack of some design studies during project appraisal. This delayed
preparation of BDs for electricity network supplies and works. Furthermore, the related bids
were published nearly two years after project approval. On the other hand, all the design studies
for the present project, including the BDs, were completed and available since end-2015,
allowing for early start of: (i) the process of recruitment of the Consulting Engineer for works
control and supervision in April 2016; and (ii) competitive bidding for electricity network
supplies and works in the semi-urban areas of Ouagadougou, in June 2016. Furthermore, delays
in establishing project entities, including the recruitment of key project implementation unit
staff, identified as a major constraint on project implementation in the country, were taken into
account. Indeed, this project will be implemented by the team that was already in place during
9
PRIELER. The project will not only benefit from staff that are already in place and acquainted
with Bank Procedures in project management, but also from the existing offices, furniture and
operational facilities.
2.8 Main Performance Indicators
2.8.1 Project performance will be measured using results-based logical framework
indicators. The output indicators are: (i) linear distance of MV underground networks
constructed; (ii) linear distance of MV overhead networks constructed; (iii) number of kiosk
MV/LV sub-stations constructed ; (iv) number of MV/LV pole-mounted transformer sub-
stations constructed; (v) number of MV/LV sub-stations reinforced; (vi) linear distance of LV
networks constructed; (vi) number of connections established; (vii) number of studies
conducted; (viii) number of workers trained; and (ix) number of audits conducted. The outcome
indicators are: (a) the number of subscribers connected in Ouagadougou; (b) number of
subscribers connected in Bobo-Dioulasso. The project impact indicators comprise the
electricity access rate and the access rate in urban areas, to be indicated in country reports:
SONABEL, Ministries in charge of Energy and the Economy, and in periodic PNDES reviews
(performance matrix).
2.8.2 The executing agency will monitor progress towards achieving project outcomes
through the PIU. Data on project performance indicators will be submitted in: (i) periodic
progress reports that will be prepared by the consulting engineer in charge of works control and
supervision; (ii) PIU’s quarterly progress reports; (iii) SONABEL’s activity reports; (iv) Bank
supervision mission reports; and (v) project completion reports (of the Borrower and the Bank).
An analysis of the indicators will help to measure their progress and make appropriate
adjustments, if necessary, to achieve the target values.
III. PROJECT FEASIBILITY
3.1 Economic and Financial Performance
3.1.1 Project Financial and Economic Performance: This performance was analyzed
based on the internal rate of return (IRR) and economic rate of return (ERR). The IRR is
calculated using the project’s financial costs and the percentage of revenue linked to electricity
sales to new subscribers allocated to it. The ERR, on the other hand, is calculated using
economic costs (corrected capital costs of conversion factors) compared to the expected
economic benefits from electricity sales to new subscribers and the potential savings made over
the other energy sources they were using (gasoil-powered generators) prior to the project
implementation.
3.1.2 Sensitivity of the Project Financial and Economic Performance: It was analyzed
based on: (i) a 10% increase in investment costs; (ii) a 10% rise in the cost price of electricity;
and (iii) a 10% decrease in the average selling price of electricity. This analysis shows that
although the economic rate of return is sensitive to variations in a number of factors, it remains
higher than the economic capital cost estimated at 10% in the country, thus confirming the
economic viability of the project. The project performance is more sensitive to a drop in the
electricity selling prices than to the other factors studied (details attached as Annex B.7).

3.2 Environmental and Social Impact
3.2.1 Environment: On 1 June 2015, the project was classified in Category 2 given the
negative, but averagely low, environmental and social impacts identified. The Environmental
and Social Management Plan (ESMP) was completed in March 2016 and submitted for
validation, at national level, to the National Environmental Assessment Office (BUNEE) which
issued an environmental compliance certificate on 16 May 2016. The summary ESMP was
published on the Bank’s website on 1 July 2016. The main negative environmental and social
impacts concern: (i) traffic disruptions and impediments (access to residential areas,
commercial installations, etc.); (ii) the nuisance generated (atmospheric emissions,
wastes/particles, noise, etc.) by civil engineering works (trenches for underground cables,
layout of substation sites, etc.); (iii) risks of desecration or destruction of cultural heritage and
archeological remains; (iv) health and safety risks for workers and the local population during
the works and during the operation and maintenance of electricity structures to be constructed
by the project. Mitigation measures are proposed in the ESMP to avoid or, if not, minimize
these impacts; the measures are: (i) installation of construction site signs, information of the
population of the areas concerned, re-establishment of local population’s access, etc.; (ii)
implementation of measures outlined in the works site waste management plan, compliance
with working hours, etc.; (iii) implementation of proposed measures to ensure safety and
protection for workers and the local population during the works and operation phase; and (iv)
compensatory planting of trees. The cost of the ESMP measures is estimated at UA 0.15 million.
3.2.2 ESMP Implementation Monitoring and Capacity: SONABEL’s Department of
Standards, Environment and Safety (DNES) will work closely with the project control and
coordination mission to monitor the ESMP implementation. SONABEL will also ensure that
semi-annual ESMP implementation reports are submitted to the Bank. As regards capacity,
SONABEL currently has ten (10) senior officials: (i) four (4) Officers in charge of the
environmental component; (ii) three (3) for the safety component; (iii) two (2) for quality and
standards; and (iv) one (1) Head of Department. However, two senior officials of the entity will
retire in 2017, that is, during the project implementation. SONABEL has taken appropriate
steps to replace them before their departure so as to maintain the project monitoring capacity.
There are also plans under this project to increase the personal protective and safety gear of
DNES workers. Lastly, health and safety training will be offered to at least 30 SONABEL
employees who will work during the PEPU activities.
3.2.3 Climate Change: The project’s main positive environmental impact stems from the
benefits to be derived by households that have access to electricity in the semi-urban areas. The
benefits include: (i) less polluting alternatives to the use of fuelwood (firewood, charcoal) and
kerosene lamps, which currently represent the main energy source for lighting and cooking; (ii)
opportunities for processing and conserving perishable products, and thereby optimize the use
of natural resources for their production. In addition, the project will help to reduce polluting
gases generated by the many small individual generators used in the project areas. The project
will supply electricity to users (households, businesses, workshops, processing units,
administrative and municipal services, schools and health centres) from a less polluting
electricity-mix generated by: (i) the Kompienga and Bagré hydropower plants; (ii) the Zagtouli
and Ziga solar photovoltaic plants being constructed and those envisaged in the coming years
in Burkina Faso; and (iii) hydropower or gas-powered electricity imported mainly from Côte
d’Ivoire and Ghana.
3.2.4 The project is not vulnerable to climatic risks, hence its classification in Category 3 at
the climate change level. Similar installations closest to the project area (Ouagadougou and
Bobo-Dioulasso) were not affected during the flooding of September 2009. Although the risk
is low, special attention was or will be given to: (i) the choice of installation sites for kiosk sub-
11
stations, avoiding floodable and submersible zones; (ii) the size of kiosk sub-station platforms
so that they will remain above water; and (iii) electric poles size to withstand the dominant
winds. As mentioned above, the less-polluting alternatives offered by the project to households
will contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
3.2.5 Gender: Women represent 52% of the population of the target districts. The
availability and affordability of energy (electricity and modern fuels) are a major concern for
women and men in the PA. The heavy dependence on traditional biomass, mainly firewood, is
compounded by unsustainable practices linked to the use of forest resources. At least 99% of
the population of the project area lack access to electricity. As such, a key priority for the
Burkinabe Authorities is to equitably and adequately empower women and men to solve the
energy poverty crisis. In that regard, they have adopted the ECOWAS Programme for Gender
Mainstreaming in Energy Access. (ECOW-GEN). The project will have no negative impact on
gender. Rather, its implementation will help to improve women’s living conditions, especially
through: (i) the access of at least 115,000 women to electricity; (ii) fewer losses of foodstuffs
and perishable products; (iii) lightening of burdensome domestic chores, especially the
processing of certain foodstuffs (cereals, cassava or yam) into flour thanks to grinding mills;
(iv) the potential of creating small handicraft units (sewing, transformation of agricultural
produce, etc.); and (v) improved study conditions for children. Furthermore, the project will
help to improve the working conditions of business operators in the area and create temporary
jobs that require unskilled labour from which women and youths can benefit.
3.2.6 Social: The project will directly connect 17,500 households to the electricity network.
Connections to households will be established at social promotional rates. In the semi-urban
areas of Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso, the project will benefit small and medium-sized
enterprises, petty traders, administrative and municipal services, and all basic social services
(education, training, health, hygiene and sanitation, drinking water). Social infrastructure
(schools, training centres, health centres, etc.) situated in project areas will be connected to the
electricity network, affording them access to more reliable electric power for various uses
(domestic, industrial, commercial, pumping, cultural, security, etc.). The quality of social
services in the project area will improve thanks to electricity. The project will contribute to the
promotion of recreational activities for enhanced well-being of families. People and their
property will also be safer thanks to available lighting in homes and on the streets. Introducing
electricity in these neighbourhoods will facilitate the emergence of new job-generating
activities in various fields, particularly agro-food processing, the information and
communication technologies, masonry, maintenance, sewing, embroidery, handicrafts, petty
trade and services. The project will have significant socio-economic benefits in the zones
covered. Three hundred and fifty (350) temporary jobs (10% of them for women) will be
generated during the electricity network installation and connection works. It is expected that
sixty (60) full-time jobs (15% for women) will be created in SONABEL to operate the structures
and ensure customer services for new subscribers.
3.2.7 Involuntary Resettlement: The project will not lead to any involuntary population
displacement. All works will be undertaken on public land.
IV. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
4.1. Implementation Arrangements
4.1.1 Institutional Implementation Arrangements: The Ministry of Energy, Mines and
Quarries will be the project executing agency, while SONABEL, to which the ADF resources
have been transferred by the Government, will be the implementation unit. SONABEL will
establish a project implementation unit identical to that of PRIELER, whose completion is
12
expected in June 2016. The unit will be attached to the General Management of SONABEL.
All the PIU’s technical, administrative and financial staff will be provided by SONABEL and
seconded to it, with the exception of the internal auditor who will be appointed by the Ministry
in charge of Finance. The unit will comprise a Coordinator, two Electrical Engineers, a
Computer Engineer, a Procurement Expert, a Financial Officer, an Environmentalist, an
Administrative Clerk, an Internal Auditor, a Monitoring-Evaluation Expert, a Secretary, a
Messenger and a Driver. The Procurement Expert will be transferred to the project, where
he/she will be in charge of procurement. He/she will not perform project-related duties activities
concurrently with other activities of SONABEL as this might weigh heavily on his/her
workload.
4.1.2 The Government will transform the PIU/PRIELER into PIU/PEPU, and maintain the
project implementation staff who not only have the capacity and good knowledge of Bank Rules
and Procedures, but have also implemented the previous project (PRIELER) to the satisfaction
of the Bank and the Government. The project staff will receive allowances provided for by
national regulations. Furthermore, the Government will endeavour to transfer to PEPU, the
movable and immovable property (premises, office furniture and functional IT equipment) of
PRIELER upon its closure.
4.1.3 Pursuant to General Regulations on development projects or programmes in Burkina
Faso, Ministerial orders will be issued after signature of the project financing agreements with
the Bank. The Ministerial Orders are: (i) a joint MEMC/MINEFID Order on the creation,
purpose, classification, administration and operation of the project; (ii) an MEMC Order on the
creation, composition, duties, organization and functioning of the Project Steering Committee;
and (iii) an MEMC Order on the creation, composition, duties, organization and operation of
the Project Implementation Unit which will be located within SONABEL; and (iv) an MEMC
Order to appoint the Project Coordinator. The Steering Committee will be chaired by the
representative of the Ministry in charge of Energy, and will comprise representatives from
Ministries involved in the project implementation, namely the Ministries in charge of Finance
and Territorial Administration, as well as SONABEL. Submission to the Bank of the above
draft orders will be a condition for the presentation of PEPU to the ADF Board. Submission to
the Bank of the final orders and evidence of appointment of the project management team will
be a condition precedent to the first disbursement of ADF resources.
4.1.4 Under the supervision of SONABEL General Management, the Project Coordinator
will implement and regularly monitor project activities, as well as manage various contracts.
He/she will be provided with the technical and management resources required for the technical,
administrative and financial management of the project. The Steering Committee will meet on
a semi-annual basis to: (i) consider the project implementation plan, periodic progress and
financial reports, programmes of activities, the project’s budget and the procurement plan; (ii)
ensure the implementation of its recommendations and those of project supervision, monitoring
and audit missions; (iii) assess the Project Coordinator’s performance, in line with his/her
mission letter; (iv) make recommendations for the attention of the Project Coordinator; (v)
approve the financial statements of the project; and (vi) examine any matter submitted for its
consideration.
4.1.5 Procurement Arrangements: Goods, works and services financed by the Bank under
this project will be procured in accordance with the new Bank Procurement Policy approved on
14 October 2015 and effective as from 1 January 2016, as follows:
national procurement system: Some clearly defined procurements will be
made in accordance with national procurement legislation (Decree No. 2008-
173/PRES/PM/MEF of 16 April 2008 to define the general regulations
13
governing public procurement and public service delegations, as amended by
Decrees No. 2012-123/PRES/PM/MEF of 2 March 2012 and No. 2013-
1148/PRES/PM/MEF of 12 December 2013) using the country’s standard
bidding documents. The procurement activities will concern: (i) extension and
restructuring works on the Bobo-Dioulasso electricity networks; (ii)
procurement of connection materials, metres, operating and maintenance
equipment, supervision vehicles, IT equipment, and office furniture; and (iii)
training programmes. Connection works, including the installation of metres,
will be undertaken by SONABEL using hired labour.
Bank’s procurement system: Some procurements above thresholds defined by
the project will be made in compliance with the Bank’s procurement methods
and procedures, using standard Bank bidding documents. Following a
Government request, approved by the Bank on 10 November 2015, the
electricity network construction works and consultancy services related to works
control and supervision will be procured through Advanced Procurement Action
(APA) in compliance with the Bank’s Procurement Rules and Procedures. The
procurement activities will concern: (i) extension and restructuring works on the
Ouagadougou electricity networks; (ii) control and supervision of extension and
restructuring works on the Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso electricity
networks; (iii) studies on electricity network restructuring and extension works,
and establishment of a central load dispatching office (CLDO) in Bobo-
Dioulasso, including ESIAs; (iv) study on the establishment of a load
dispatching centre (LDC) for the Ouagadougou distribution network; (vi)
external audits of project accounts; and (v) procurement audits.
Procurement risks and capacity building: Procurement risk at country, sector
and project levels and the executing agency’s capacity were assessed for this
project. The results of the assessment helped to determine what procurement
methods and procedures (country or Bank) to use. Appropriate impact mitigation
measures were included in this project procurement capacity building action plan
(CDAP).
4.1.6 The risk assessment, mitigation measures, procurement arrangements and the
procurement plan (PP) have been developed and attached as Annex B5.
4.1.7 Financial Management Arrangements: The PIU-PEPU’s financial management
components comprising the budget, internal audit, accounts, financial reports, flow of funds
and external audit, will be already in place at PRIELER. They will be used alongside
SONABEL’s management system so as to produce separate and enhanced financial statements
based on lessons learned from implementation of the above-mentioned project, the review of
the organizational chart and the administrative, financial and accounting procedures manual,
the complementary configuration of the management software, and staff training. The project
budget featuring all activities will be consolidated into that of the corporation, specifying the
sources of financing (ADF, State and SONABEL). Furthermore, a complete assessment of
PIU’s operating costs borne by the corporation will be conducted and charged to the project.
The project implementation unit will each year produce: (i) a work plan and an annual budget
(PTBA) to be submitted to the Steering Committee’s approval and the Bank’s no-objection
opinion; (ii) an annual budget implementation statement; and (iii) annual financial statements
to be submitted to the Steering Committee’s approval after consideration by auditors and to be
presented to the annual General Meeting for consideration of development projects and
programmes implemented in Burkina Faso. After each quarter, the project implementation unit
14
will submit a financial monitoring report indicating the progress of activities, disbursements
and the general financial situation to the Bank.
4.1.8 Disbursement Arrangements: ADF resources will be disbursed pursuant to Bank rules
and procedures. Disbursements will be made using the following three methods: (i)
reimbursement method; (ii) direct payment method; and (iii) reimbursement guarantee method.
The reimbursement method will only be used in case SONABEL needs to be reimbursed
eligible expenses on ADF resources it pre-financed with the Bank’s agreement. The direct
payment method will be used for expenses incurred for works and consultancy services. The
reimbursement guarantee method, for its part, will be used exclusively for the financing of
goods imports of substantial amounts.
4.1.9 External Audit Arrangements: An independent auditor will be recruited for a non-
renewable period of three (3) years to audit project accounts on an annual basis. Audit fees will
be financed by the project’s ADF resources. The terms of reference of the audit will be approved
beforehand by the Bank. The auditor will be recruited no later than six (6) months following
project start-up. The auditor’s annual reports will be forwarded to the Bank within six (6)
months following the close of the fiscal year.
4.2. Monitoring
4.2.1 Throughout implementation, starting from the baseline situation established by
MEMC and SONABEL, all project activities will be subject to regular monitoring-evaluation:
(i) The Project Coordination will regularly monitor the implementation of all
project activities (procurement, management of various contracts, coordination
between the consulting engineer in charge of works control and supervision and
the contractor, coordination between all public structures and services
concerned, the population and other stakeholders, approval of works progress
reports, acceptance and commissioning of works undertaken, etc.) and, where
applicable, make recommendations to the Steering Committee to ensure proper
implementation of the project within specified time frames.
(ii) The project will submit progress reports to the Bank on a quarterly basis. The
reports will detail the project’s physical implementation status, its financial
implementation including commitments approved and disbursements by
component and source of financing, the main problems or constraints likely to
affect its timely implementation, as well as solutions proposed. The reports will
also include the logical framework outcomes progressively obtained and the
project indicator trends. Bank supervision mission reports, the Government’s
monitoring mission reports, the consulting engineer’s works control and
supervision monitoring reports, and the various audit reports will help to ensure
proper implementation of the project or identify constraints or delays and
undertake appropriate action for the project to be implemented on schedule and
meet its overall objectives.
(iii) Bank monitoring of the project will be through activities summarized in the table
below. These activities will be based on the implementation schedule presented
in page (vi). The project will be subject to at least two Bank supervision missions
every year. It will also be closely monitored by the Burkina Faso Field Office
(BFFO).
15
(iv) At the end of the project, the Project Coordination will prepare and submit a
completion report to the Bank. In turn, the Bank will prepare its own project
completion report. A project performance assessment report will also be
prepared by the Bank to assess the project’s impacts.

4.3. Governance
4.3.1 The socio-political events that occurred in Burkina Faso in 2014 had a negative impact
on public finance management. Dwindling budgetary resources were compounded by a
slowdown in reforms implemented under the Economic and Financial Sector Policy Action
Plan. Nevertheless, WAEMU Directives on the modernization and transparency of financial
16
governance were adopted by a 2015 law. What remains is to issue enabling instruments (decrees
and orders) for their effective implementation as from 1 January 2017.
4.3.2 During project implementation, the public finance management system will
exclusively be used for including the project’s counterpart funds in the State budget. Since
SONABEL is the project executing agency, its management mechanisms will be applied, as
with the previous project (PRIELER), which was satisfactorily implemented. SONABEL is a
State-owned corporation with a Board of Directors, and applies the OHADA Uniform Acts on
commercial companies and financial and accounting management. Pursuant to the Paris
Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, especially with respect to the use of beneficiary country’s
systems, SONABEL’s financial and accounting management instruments will be used.
4.4. Sustainability
4.4.1 Project sustainability will depend on SONABEL’s ability to maintain and service the
equipment and installations that will be installed during the project, with due regard for its
financial situation in a context wherein electricity rates dating back to 2006 are lower than the
cost price of electricity. The electricity sub-sector’s financial stability is guaranteed by State
subsidies. Thanks to the PASE, which was approved by the Bank in 2015, a programme contract
for the 2015-2019 period has been signed by the State and SONABEL. It specifies the
commitments of both parties to achieve the goal of improving the electricity sub-sector status
in Burkina Faso by increasing cheap electricity imports from neighbouring countries, boosting
sales, keeping costs under control, and maintaining the financial stability of the corporation.
The corporation has enough competent technical staff to operate and regularly maintain its
electricity networks. The cost of maintaining and operating the networks (lines and sub-
stations), estimated at an average of 2.5% of the investment cost each year as from the second
year after commissioning, will be covered by the project’s expected profits (see Annex B7).
4.5. Risk Management
4.5.1 The project’s potential risks are as follows :
Risks Mitigation Measures
Insufficient supply of
electric power to meet the
additional demand
generated by the project
with the connection of
new households to the
electricity network
Increase in electricity supply thanks to the commissioning in 2017 of : (i) the 225
kV Bolgatanga (Ghana) - Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso) line, which offers the
capacity to import over 100 MW; and (ii) the 33MWp Zagtouli solar plant. In
addition, an emergency programme will be implemented to rehabilitate
SONABEL’s existing generation facilities so as to recover about 30 additional
MW, alongside procuring and installing two new thermal generators each with a
capacity of 25 MW, making a total of 50MW, and recruiting independent power
producers for five solar power projects of total power of 100 MW, and a 100MW
thermal power plant
SONABEL’s financial
difficulties, which can
prevent it from
mobilizing counterpart
funds for project
financing.
SONABEL’s financial contribution consists primarily in salaries and allowances
for its workers transferred to the project, the PIU’s operating costs (water,
electricity, telephone, fuel, vehicle maintenance, etc.), and connection-related hired
labour. The direct financial contribution to the works will be spread over about 25
months.
4.6. Knowledge Building
4.6.1 The project has made arrangements for knowledge building through training activities
for SONABEL staff in charge of operating and maintaining the electricity distribution
networks. There are also plans to update SONABEL’s calculation software (PLS-CADD) and
train workers in charge of studies and planning.
17
4.6.2 Project quarterly/annual progress reports, as well as financial and procurement audit
reports, constitute sources of information on the project. The same applies to Bank supervision
mission reports and the Government’s monitoring mission reports. These reports and the project
completion report will help to draw and share lessons on the PEPU implementation. Publication
by the Bank of the project completion report and the performance review report will help to
share the knowledge acquired during implementation of the project with the Bank staff and the
public. The lessons learned will be reflected in the design of future similar Bank operations in
its Regional Member Countries.
