Contract partner: Diverse Träger Country: Burkina Faso Funding amount: € 3.225.000,00 Project start: 01.11.2018 End: 31.03.2026

Short Description:

Overall goal


The overall objective is to improve access to energy in Burkina Faso through improved training opportunities and increased employment in the field of renewable energy. This is to be achieved primarily through a sustainable anchoring of a new and high-quality specialisation "Renewable Energy" in vocational high schools (Lycées Professionnels) and collaborations with the private sector to improve job opportunities in the field of renewable energies.

The project aims to:

• Increase the quality of vocational training in the field of renewable energy (focus on solar energy);

• Improve access to vocational training and employment opportunities in the field of renewable energy with a focus on girls and disadvantaged groups.


Expected results


• Improved capacity of partner schools and teachers to offer the new “Renewable Energy” specialization through trainings and participatory school development processes;

• Roll-out of the new specialization “Renewable Energy” to additional partner schools;

• Strengthened partnerships for social mobilisation, with a focus on improving access to education for girls and disadvantaged groups;

• Stakeholder involvement and increased practical orientation in vocational training in the field of renewable energy, including enhanced partnerships between schools and the private sector;

• Improved offer of practical and demand-oriented professional development for companies in the field of renewable energy and energy efficiency through tailor-made training modules;

• Improved knowledge base for education-related policy decisions in the field of renewable energies, taking into account tertiary educational institutions and offers and the needs of the private sector.


Target group / Beneficiaries


Target groups and key stakeholders are:

• Students in the partner schools and prospective students;

• Teachers and members of the school administration of the partner schools;

• Small and medium-sized enterprises in the field of renewable energies;

  • Policy marker: are used to identify, assess and facilitate the monitoring of activities in support of policy objectives concerning gender equality, aid to environment, participatory development/good governance, trade development and reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health. Activities targeting the objectives of the Rio Conventions include the identification of biodiversity, climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation, and desertification.
    • 1= policy is a significant objective of the activity
    • 2= policy is the principal objective of the activity
  • Donor/ source of funding: The ADA is not only implementing projects and programmes of the Austrian Development Cooperation , but also projects funded from other sources and donors such as
    • AKF - Foreign Disaster Fund of the Austrian federal government
    • BMLFUW - Federal Ministry for Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water
    • EU - Funds of the European Commission
    • Others - various other donors are listed in ADA’s annual business report.
  • Type of Aid – Aid modalities: classifies transfers from the donor to the first recipient of funds such as budget support, core contributions and pooled programmes and funds to CSOs and multilateral organisations, project-type interventions, experts and other technical assistance, scholarships and student costs in donor countries, debt relief, administrative costs and other in-donor expenditures.
  • Purpose/ sector code: classifies the specific area of the recipient’s economic or social structure, funded by a bilateral contribution.
  • Tied/Untied: Untied aid is defined as loans and grants whose proceeds are fully and freely available to finance procurement from all OECD countries and substantially all developing countries. Transactions are considered tied unless the donor has, at the time of the aid offer, clearly specified a range of countries eligible for procurement which meets the tests for “untied” aid.
