The Government of Japan, through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), is committed to supporting the State of Burkina Faso in the implementation of the Capacity Building Project for the Revitalization of Irrigated Areas (PReCaRI) in the Central and South-Central Regions.

The overall objective of the project is to "contribute to the revitalization of irrigated areas through capacity building of implementing actors. More specifically, the project aims to "conduct diagnostic studies of problems related to irrigated perimeters in the Centre and Centre-South regions and strengthen the operational capacities of implementing actors".

In order to have a project document that complies with the regulations in Burkina Faso, a workshop for the elaboration of the said document took place over two weeks, respectively from January 23 to 28 and January 30 to February 4, 2023 in Koudougou, with all the stakeholders in the Center-West Region.

This workshop, placed under the chairmanship of the General Secretariat of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Resources and Fisheries (MARAH) was directed by the Project Manager, Mr. Sylvain KABORE.

In sum, the work which took place in groups and plenary sessions focused on the definition of activities and financial programming, as well as the development of the narrative part of the project document. At the end of the work, the objective assigned to this workshop was achieved.

The representative of the Secretary General of the Ministry in charge of agriculture took this opportunity to reiterate the ministry's acknowledgement to JICA for the excellent collaboration and invited the participants to remain available for the finalization of the document.

JICA expresses its satisfaction for the full participation of the actors and congratulates the whole team of counterparts for the quality of the work done. It encourages all stakeholders to maintain the dynamism and team spirit observed during this work for a good implementation of PReCaRI.
