Burkina Faso COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Project

The purpose of the COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Project in Burkina Faso is to prevent, detect and respond to the threat posed by COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and strengthen national systems for public health preparedness. This project has two components. Component one will provide immediate support to Burkina Faso to limit local transmission through containment strategies. Support for the strengthening of public structures for the coordination and management of the individual country projects would be provided, including central and local (decentralized) arrangements for coordination of activities, financial management (FM) and procurement. Execution of project activities will be undertaken by the designated units in line ministries or in partnership with non-state actors including the private sector. Component two will support the monitoring and evaluation of activities and joint-learning across countries including research.
