Au Burkina Faso, comme dans la plupart des pays du continent africain, l’implication des autorités locales s’est grandement accrue ces dernières années pour assurer la fourniture des services de base dont l’eau potable et l’assainissement. La commune a désormais en charge la planification, l’organisation, la gestion, la régulation et le suivi-évaluation des services. Concernant le suivi-évaluation, force est de constater que le vaste chantier est encore en friche. En quoi consiste justement ce suivi-évaluation ? Quel intérêt présente-t-il dans la gouvernance des services ? Qui se charge de ce suivi-évaluation dans les communes ? De quels appuis bénéficient les communes pour développer ce suivi-évaluation ?
Le film tente de répondre à cette série de questions complexes en donnant la parole aux acteurs impliqués dans l’approvisionnement en services d’eau potable et d’assainissement en milieu rural : acteurs communaux, opérateurs privés, administration publique et ONG.
Le film, au-delà des témoignages, se veut un outil stimulant la réflexion sur les enjeux et les problématiques du suivi-évaluation communal qui seront examinés au cours des travaux du séminaire international sur le suivi-évaluation des services locaux d’eau potable et d’assainissement en Afrique de l’ouest, prévu à Ouagadougou, du 7 au 9 avril 2014.
