CORRIDORS MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE RING OF GROWTH IN WEST AFRICA (WAGRI-CACAO)
1. TITLE: Bagré Pole Growth Corridor Support Project (PAC-PCB)
2. COUNTRIES OF INTERVENTION: Burkina Faso
3. AREA OF INTERVENTION: Public Use Area (ZUP) of Bagré Pole covers an area of ??473,500 hectares covering mainly the Central-East region and marginally the Central-South region of the country.
The proposed program area is crossed by two of CACAOs main target corridors, namely the Tema-Ouagadougou corridor and the Lomé-Ouagadougou corridor. Two projects (CBPP, PAPCB) are already being implemented in the area under the coordination of BAGREPOLE.
4. AREAS OF INTERVENTION: Agriculture, livestock, fish farming, infrastructure, agro-industry, trade
5. Strategic focus of the management plan:
Button A: Promote and encourage market-oriented economic sectors in the sub-region by harnessing the potential of economic sectors and targeting sub-regional markets
6.JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT:
The Bagré Growth Pole (PCB) pilot pole of the country, was set up in 2011 by the Government on the basis of the assets (natural potentialities and infrastructures) existing in the Public Use Zone (ZUP) of Bagré, in order to to contribute to the building of a strong, inclusive and sustainable growth economy with a territorial base for Burkina Faso.
These strengths include: (i) high potential for horticulture, agri-food, livestock, tourism and fish farming; (ii) the availability of an irrigable potential of 30,000 ha with land security possibilities on 473,500 ha; (iii) an adequate rainfall of about 950 mm per year from June to October and a large water reservoir (dam) of 1.7 billion m 3 available for irrigation, livestock and processing activities; (iv) nearly 8,000 ha developed or under development including 3,300 h in operation.
Due to its geographical position, the project intervention area is an ideal space for the concentration of structuring integrating public investments, ie with training effects on the other WAEMU countries and the ECOWAS. Indeed, the area is easily open to the following neighboring countries of Burkina Faso: Ghana, Togo, Benin, Niger.
Given its strategic nature, several structural programs are in a state of readiness or execution in the area of ??Bagré Pole. Examples include: (i) the National Telecommunications Backbone Project (PBNT), whose overall objective is to develop national and international broadband connectivity, provides for the passage of optical fiber through Bagré; (ii) the 2018-kilometer long Ghana-Burkina Faso rail interconnection project between Ghana, Accra and Burkina Faso, Ouagadougou, will cross the Bagré ZUP.
The Bagré Pole Growth Corridor Support Project (PAC-PCB) will directly impact the dynamics of structural transformation initiated in an integrative perspective.
