CA-3-A032747001 2026-07-14T06:32:38 CIDA has been providing financial and technical support for Burkina Faso’s Ten-Year Basic Education Development Plan (PDDEB) since 2001. Burkina Faso is one of the world’s poorest countries. The gross school enrolment rate is 66,6% and the literacy rate is about 32%. The purpose of this new contribution is to support the efforts of the government of Burkina Faso to continue implementation of the PDDEB in order to accelerate the development of basic education, while guaranteeing an improvement in quality and satisfactory institutional and managerial capacity. Implementation of the PDDEB is also intended to reduce disparities. The current project is part of a pooling of funds coordinated by Canada and other technical and financial partners, including France, Denmark, Sweden, Belgium, the World Bank, and the Netherlands (leader). PDDEB activities include constructing school infrastructure (schools, boreholes, and latrines) and supplying equipment, teaching materials, and school supplies.
