Development basin · horizon 4–6 years
Hydro-agricultural development basin
Secure a basin's water — drinking and productive — and build the local economy on it.
How to read this sheet
This sheet describes a model, not a committed project: the status at the top says so. Figures are sizing assumptions, to be refined through feasibility studies, and the anchor explains where our legitimacy on this type of programme comes from.
- Vision and components: what the programme builds and organises on the territory.
- Assumptions in FCFA and typical financing structure, to be adapted to each case.
- The XP-NOVA disciplines that equip the model, and the agricultural strand entrusted to AGROVITA where it exists.
The model in detail
Vision, components, expected impacts and anchor; alongside, sizing assumptions in FCFA and the XP-NOVA disciplines mobilised.
The vision
Water structures everything: health, agriculture, energy. The programme treats a watershed as a development unit: resource mobilisation, drinking water, irrigation, rural roads and electrification — with basin governance that makes the works last.
Programme components
Resource mobilisation
Boreholes, intakes, hillside reservoirs depending on hydrology.
Drinking water
Supply systems, standpipes, local delegated management.
Productive water
Irrigated schemes, pastoral watering.
Access & energy
Basin roads, community and productive solar.
Basin governance
User committees, tariffs, maintenance.
Expected impacts
- Measurable increase in the basin's drinking-water access rate.
- Agricultural production secured through the dry season.
- Reduced water-borne disease burden.
