Policy and Operations Evaluation Department EVALUATION of THE iob policy and operations evaluation department EVALUATION OF THE JOINT INTEGRATED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMME COUNTRY REPORTS OF BURKINA FASO AND TANZANIA PIET LANSER AND PAUL WIJMENGA (ECORYS/NEI ROTTERDAM) & PAULO MWAZYUNGA (INTERMAECOS LIMITED) IOB Working Document | June 2004 ii PREFACE A major objective of Netherlands’ foreign policy is the integration of developing countries in the world trading system. Trade-Related Technical Assistance (TRTA) is considered one of the key instruments to contribute to this integration, next to removal of trade barriers to developing countries. TRTA is a collective term for different types of technical assistance aimed at strengthening the trade-related knowledge base, trade-related negotiation capacity, national trade policy and/or capacity to trade of developing countries. Whereas many donors and agencies have strongly committed themselves at ministerial conferences of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) to the provision of TRTA, little is known about the results of such assistance. Though the percentage of Official Development Assistance spent on TRTA has been declared an indicator of the Millennium Development Objective of ‘further developing an open trading and financial system that is rule-based, predictable and non-discriminatory’, very few question actual effects. To assess the efficiency, effectiveness, and relevance of various types of TRTA as supported by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, IOB started an evaluation of this instrument in June 2003. A major element of this evaluation is the assessment of results of seven selected programmes: four multilateral programmes and three international NGOs or intergovernmental organisations. Each of them is considered to be exemplary of the strategic principle of the Netherlands of providing support through multilateral channels and international organisations. This document contains the results of the evaluation of the Joint Integrated Technical Assistance Programme (JITAP) in Burkina Faso (Part A) and Tanzania (Part B). In three separate IOB-working documents the results have been published of the evaluations of the Integrated Framework (IF) in Ethiopia and Yemen, two major TRTA-programmes of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and three Geneva-based international NGOs or intergovernmental organisations (ACWL, AITIC and QUNO). IOB publishes such documents to make (interim and data-rich) products of IOB evaluations accessible to stakeholders, specialists and a wider public interested in results of development aid (see www.euforic.org/iob for electronic versions). A team of consultants of ECORYS-NEI has conducted the measurements of results of the seven selected programmes, following the general terms of reference for the IOB-evaluation and specifying these in a design for the measurement of results of the selected programmes. The team consisted of Mr. Paul Wijmenga (lead consultant), Mr. Piet Lanser, Mr. Richard Liebrechts and Mrs. Nora Plaisier. The evaluation research of JITAP in Tanzania was done by Mr. Paul Wijmenga from November 19th till December 6th of 2003. After completion of his field work, he de-briefed Mr. Piet Lanser, who subsequently conducted the evaluation research of JITAP in Burkina iii Faso from January 12th till 26th of 2004. On behalf of IOB the team was supervised by Dr. Otto Hospes, who as evaluator of IOB also takes responsibility for the overall evaluation of TRTA. Rob D. van den Berg Director Policy and Operations Evaluation Department (IOB) June 2004 iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Several rounds of comments authors – including a workshop – were organised to discuss the draft evaluation reports of the ECORYS-NEI consultants. These rounds involved Netherlands embassies, executive directors of organisations targeted in the IOB-evaluation, two IOB-readers and six external readers. Special and sincere thanks go to Mr. Leendert F. Noort (Netherlands Embassy, Ouagadougou) and Mr. Jacob Wiersma (Netherlands Embassy, Dar es Salaam) for collecting and providing comments on an earlier draft of the evaluation report. Mr. Robert Malin was very helpful as language editor. Hélène de Jong and Ingeborg Ponne, supporting staff of IOB, skilfully upgraded the format of the working document to match IOB standards. The authors accept responsibility for any error or lack of clarity that may be left. Finally, the authors – together with IOB – hope that the series of working documents on TRTA will contribute to the international debate on the role and results of the selected providers of TRTA and can be helpful for the methodological design of new evaluations meant to assess results of TRTA. v vi ACRONYMS ACP African Caribbean Pacific AGOA African Growth Opportunity Act AoA Agreement on

  • The Impact of China-Burkina Faso Trade on Burkina Faso Economic Growth
    Journal of Economics and Sustainable Development www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1700 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2855 (Online) Vol.11, No.22, 2020 The Impact of China-Burkina Faso Trade on Burkina Faso Economic Growth Lionel Ulrich Ouedraogo * Diping Zhang School of Science, Zhejiang University of Science and Technology, 310023, China Abstract The impact of trade expansion of China on Burkina Faso's economy is analyzed in this work through these two channels: trade in goods and services, foreign direct investment. To capture the direct and indirect effects of Chinese trade, a computable general equilibrium model is used. The different simulations that have been used are gathered in groups. The first group includes an increase of the transfers from China to Burkina Faso by 10%, an increase of 5% of the stock of productive capital, an increase of 2% in the total factor productivity. The second group includes an expansion of the exports from Burkina Faso to China by 5%w; a decrease of international export prices of manufactured products plus an increase in international prices of export commodities; and a decrease of the international import prices of products from China. The simulation results show that the simulations of trade expansion have led to an increase of domestic prices, exports and imports from China. In addition, the effect on economic growth, value added and household’s welfare is low. Regarding the first group of simulations, the results show a decline of domestic prices, and an increase of exports and a decrease of imports. More FDI inflows induce a raise of economic growth equal to 1.90%, of total labor demand 0.08% and an increase of the average well-being of household by 1.41%.

  • Role of Agriculture in Economic Development: Case of Burkina Faso
    ISSN 2394-7322 International Journal of Novel Research in Marketing Management and Economics Vol. 3, Issue 3, pp: (91-104), Month: September - December 2016, Available at: www.noveltyjournals.com Role of Agriculture in Economic Development: Case of Burkina Faso 1Wendkouma İssa TRAWİNA, 2Pr. Dr. Nurettin ÖZTÜRK 1Master's student, Department of Economic Development and Growth, Gazi University of Ankara/ Turkey 2Professor of Economics, Department of Economics, Gazi University of Ankara/ Turkey Abstract: This study examines the agricultural sector impact into Burkina Faso’s economic development and its interactions with other sectors using time-series co-integration techniques. We used annual data from 1970-2015 to estimate a Vector Auto regression (VAR) model that includes GDP per capita and added values of agriculture, industry and service sectors. The result of the estimate indicates that it does exist no causal relationship between agricultural GDP and GDP per capita. The agricultural sector has no positive impact on the economic development in Burkina Faso. As for non-agricultural sectors, the only causal link is that found between industry and agriculture. The total independence between the agricultural sector and the services sector shows that the agricultural sector has not yet played its role as an upstream sector from other sectors. I.e. the sector that by its expansion can induce the development of other sectors, which subsequently will favor the development of the economy as a whole. Keywords: Agricultural Sector, Burkina Faso, Co-integration, GDP, Economic Development, Vector Auto Regression (VAR). 1. INTRODUCTION The agricultural sector continues to play a crucial role for development, especially in low-income countries where the sector is large both in term of aggregate income and total labor force.

  • New Alliance for Food Security & Nutrition in Burkina Faso
    Cooperation Framework to Support the New Alliance for Food Security & Nutrition in Burkina Faso G8 Cooperation framework to Support the “New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition” in Burkina Faso Three years after the G8 Summit at L’Aquila, Italy, the international community recognizes the importance of food security to development, inclusive economic growth and the dignity of all women and men. In that spirit, we welcome the success of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program (CAADP) in demonstrating African ownership and leadership, its call for expanded public and private investment in agriculture and desire to build on the progress that African governments have made in advancing a vision for agricultural development in Africa. In January 2011, the Government of Burkina Faso drafted and adopted a new development strategy known as “Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Sustainable Development” (“Stratégie de croissance accélérée et de développement durable” - SCADD) for the period 2011-2015, with the overall aim of achieving strong, sustained and quality economic growth with multiplier effects on income and the standard of living of Burkinabè and respectful of the principles of sustainable development. Over the period 2011-2015, the SCADD aims at fast-tracking growth and continuing the efforts toward achieving the MDGs. A 10% average annual growth rate of real GDP is targeted. The Government opted for an accelerated growth model focusing on the private sector as a driving force, relying on an innovative approach with an emphasis on: (i) promoting growth poles; (ii) developing promising value chains, business niches and clusters; (iii) encouraging a pro-poor growth to effectively alleviate poverty1.
