The renewed Swedish Sector Budget Support to the Burkina Faso Drinking Water and Sanitation Programme aims at helping the Government of Burkina Faso pursue its efforts to reach the MDGs goals regarding access to drinking water and sanitation for both rural and urban population of the country. The Swedish contribution will be used for the implementation of the following activities: 
- Improving access to drinking water in rural areas: construction and rehabilitation of water infrastructure using an approach that guarantees the sustainability and equity of water supply system in a process of integrated management of water resources;
- Improving access to sanitation in Rural areas : implement actions to address the infrastructure gap and remove barriers to sanitation development using an approach that encourages people to invest in sanitation infrastructure building, operation and maintenance;
- Coordinating and supporting the governance of the sector through : human resources development, technical and logistical capacity building of central and decentralized water administration, the communes, as well as and the civil society (NGOs, associations). 
It is expected that by the end of 2015, the access rate to drinking water will reach 67% in rural areas and 89% in urban areas against 63,5% and 86% in 2013. Regarding sanitation, the access rate shall move from 6% up to 12% in the rural areas and from 30% to 40% in the urban areas. In addition to that, water governance shall improve at communal levels thanks to a more decentralised approach to the programme implementation.

However, some weaknesses are still noticed regarding regarding the financial management of the programme, the quality of the infrastructure and the ownership of the programme by basic stakeholders, namely the communes and the water users associations. 

Sida has in consultation with the other donors required the Government to develop and implement an action plan to improve the programme financial management as well as the ownership of the infrastructure by the beneficiaries. In addition to that an external evaluation of the quality of the infrastructure shall be established. In order to make sure that this will happen, the disbursement of the Swedish contribution is planned to be disbursed in single tranche of twenty (20) Million SEK as soon as the agreement is signed, upon request forom the Government as stipulated in the agreement.
