Burkina Faso: Electrification project procurement

The government has received funding of $38.6m for a project to electrify peri-urban areas in Ouagadougou and Bobo-Dioulasso and plans to offer a number of construction and consultancy contracts. This will include three contracts for the extension and reconstruction of the high- and low-voltage network around Bobo-Dioulasso, and two contracts for similar work in Ouagadougou. Consultants will be sought for studies for the construction work, creation of a network control centre in Ouagadougou, supervision and management of construction work, and for external audit.
