2. Outline Presentation Multi-sectorial approach
Rationale : long-standing sharing of multi-sectorial data

Functionalities

3. Multi-sectorial approach
The multi-sectorial approach is from now a key principle of access to the energetic services of rural and peri-urban population.
The energetic programs should in the future, more than in the past, be based on needs and services identification for the regional development, and on the coordination with others sectorials investments to guarantee substantial economic and social impact but also a market.

4. Rationale : long-standing sharing of multi-sectorial data
long-standing sharing of data : determinant factor essential for the approach:
Sectorial data collect (health, education, local economy)
Setting up of protocol of long standing sharing of information
Concerted plans

5. Objectives Improves project management and facilitate their plans;
Increase visibility of progresses contributing to a better results diffusion;
Visualize physical fulfillments thanks to identification supports and geographical distribution of projects ;
Facilitate the access of pertinent information to the local actors ;
Realize a tool for decision making being a reference for evaluation and support for projects impacts.

6. Burkina Faso application presentation
Visualization tool of Rural electrification plans in Burkina Faso
Transparent access to information in order to give a concrete dimension to the multi sectorial coordination of investments thanks to a mutual knowledge of the status and plans of the different sectors
Showcase open to all parties requiring information (local stakeholders, international backers, ministries, NGOs, private actors…).

7. Application presentation
Computer application based on GIS technology and benefiting from Internet functionalities  easy remote access to strategic and multi-sectorial information, decisive to sectorial decision making.
Concrete expression of information sharing: national players providing the application with information related to their sector have access to geographically localised data of other sectors:

8. Presentation : a geographically localized database at national scale
rural electrification current status and plans
health infrastructures (clinics, health centres, maternity, hospitals, …)
education infrastructures (schools, secondary school, universities,…)
various facilities (drinking water supply, GSM aerial…)
road network
various economic data (markets, agro-industries, irrigation zones, banks, etc.).

9. Presentation : a participative approach
Strong commitment of contracting authorities
During development phase
Functionalities definition
Definition of indicators to spread
Data collect and consolidation
Development and publishing
Creating data exchange protocols
Maintenance and data update
During technology taking over
The technological transfer occurs all the way of the process and guarantee the tool permanence.

10. Web Interface features
Here is an example of RE web interface focusing on the status and plans of electrification in Burkina – Faso : 4 main windows and 3 multisectorial maps:

24. Fonctionalities Get quickly feature’s characteristics
Possibility to query the characteristic of all features displayed on the map.
Visualization of RE indicators
The web interface allow to visualize the geographically some defined indicators such as :
Electrification rate
Access to electrification rate
Number of electrified localities, projects in progress or planned…

25. Functionalities
Edit reports and detailed maps
Possibility to print some specific reports and the visualized map
Distance measure between 2 points on the main maps
Possibility to estimate the distance between localities to be electrified and the network.

26. The web application in few words…
A functional database with user-friendly interface which could provide :
Quantitative and qualitative results,
Relevant information on projects,
Relevant information on existing network,
Statistics and specific queries
A data broadcasting tool on electrification and on others sectors.
A tool to help projects planning
An help to decision making.

27. The web application in few words…
A functional database with user friendly interface which could provide :
Quantitative and qualitative results,
Relevant information on projects,
Relevant information on existing network,
Statistics and specific queries,
A database linked to GIS (georeferencing projects, engineering...) ;
A system available on the Internet and which could be exported on support’s CD ;
Data collect and update can be mastered at all selected level of administration anywhere.
System is exploitable with non professional of GIS ;

28. Observations The permanence of this tool depends of:
agreement protocol written to guarantee regular data update.
real contribution of actors in charge of making data at the disposal of administrator
the data reliability
the strictness of system data updates

29. Going further…
The application can be a platform open to others type of information :
possibility to use the interface as a link to other tools …
The access of information can be restricted with password and the application can also be install on intranet to limit to local network publication
No need of specific GIS skills to update non intrinsic data.
