Raising the country's infrastructure endowment to that of the region's middle-income countries (MICs) could boost annual growth by more than 3 percentage points per capita.Today, Burkina Faso's infrastructure indicators look relatively good when compared with other low-income countries (LICs) in Africa. Burkina Faso has made significant progress in developing its infrastructure in recent years. The rapid modernization of the ICT sector, around 60 percent of the population lives within range of a global system for mobile communications (GSM) cell-phone signal. The expansion of safe water and sanitation technologies in urban areas since the late 1990s and the establishment of a system for funding road maintenance (by reducing the cost of road travel) should pay long-term dividends to the economy. The Africa Infrastructure Country Diagnostic (AICD) has gathered and analyzed extensive data on infrastructure across almost all African countries, including Burkina Faso. The results have been presented in reports covering different areas of infrastructure including ICT, irrigation, power, transport and water and sanitation and various policy areas, including investment needs, fiscal costs, and sector performance.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESSIBILITYADOPTION OF ICTAIRAIR TRANSPORTAIRCRAFTAIRCRAFT SIZEAIRPORTAIRPORT FACILITIESAIRPORTSAPPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGIESAVAILABILITY OF DATAAVERAGE TARIFFSBACKBONEBANDWIDTHBITS PER SECONDBORDER CROSSINGSBROADBANDCABLECAPITAL COSTSCAPITAL EXPENDITURECAPITAL INVESTMENTCARCARGOCARRIERSCELL-PHONECENTRAL GOVERNMENTCOLLECTION SYSTEMCOMMODITYCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIESCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCOMPETITION AMONG PORTSCOMPETITIVE MARKETSCONCESSIONCONCESSION CONTRACTCONCESSION FEECONCESSIONSCONNECTIVITYCOPYRIGHTCOST OF POWERCOST OF WATERCOST RECOVERYCOSTS OF POWERCUBIC METERCUSTOMSCUSTOMS CLEARANCEDEREGULATIONDIGITAL SUBSCRIBERDISTRIBUTION LOSSESDRINKING WATERE-MAILECONOMIC GROWTHEFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTSELECTRICITYELECTRICITY LAWELECTRICITY MARKETEND USERSENTERPRISE SURVEYENTERPRISE SURVEYSFINANCIAL BURDENFINANCIAL FLOWSFINANCIAL VIABILITYFLEETSFLUSH TOILETFREIGHTFREIGHT TRAFFICFUELFUEL PRICESGASOLINEGENERATIONGENERATION CAPACITYGLOBAL ECONOMYHARMONIZATIONHIGH TRANSPORTHIGH TRANSPORTATIONHOUSEHOLD BUDGETSHOUSEHOLDSICTINDEPENDENT POWER PRODUCERSINFORMATION SYSTEMINFRASTRUCTURE ASSETSINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURE FUNDINGINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTSINFRASTRUCTURE REHABILITATIONINFRASTRUCTURE SERVICESINFRASTRUCTURE SPENDINGINSTALLATIONSINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYINTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORTINTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATIONINTERNATIONAL AIRPORTSINTERNATIONAL AVIATIONINTERNATIONAL COMPETITIVENESSINTERNATIONAL GATEWAYSINTERNATIONAL PORTSINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINTERNATIONAL TRADEINTERNATIONAL TRAFFICINTERNATIONAL TRAVELINVESTMENT PROGRAMINVESTMENT TARGETSLICENSESLIMITED ACCESSLOCOMOTIVELOGISTICS SERVICESLOWER PRICESMAINTENANCE COSTSMARGINAL COSTMARGINAL COSTSMARKET CONCENTRATIONMARKET SHAREMATERIALMOBILE COMMUNICATIONSMOBILE NETWORKMOBILE PHONEMONOPOLY PROFITNATURAL RESOURCESO&MOPERATIONAL COSTSOPERATIONAL EFFICIENCYOPERATIONAL PERFORMANCEPASSENGER TRAFFICPHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTUREPIT LATRINEPOLICEPOPULATION CENTERSPOPULATION DENSITYPOPULATION GROWTHPOWERPOWER COSTSPOWER PRICESPOWER SECTORPRICE REDUCTIONSPRIVATE CAPITALPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRIVATE OPERATORSPRIVATE PARTICIPATIONPRIVATE PARTNERSHIPPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONPRODUCTIVITYPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC OFFERINGPUBLIC PARTNERSHIPPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC WATERQUERIESRAILRAIL LINERAIL LINESRAIL NETWORKSRAIL OPERATORRAILWAYRAILWAY LINERAILWAY NETWORKRAILWAYSREGULATORY FRAMEWORKRELIABILITYRELIABLE ACCESSRESIDENTIAL CONSUMERSRESULTRESULTSREVENUE COLLECTIONROADROAD CONDITIONSROAD MAINTENANCEROAD NETWORKROAD SECTORROAD STANDARDSROAD TRAFFICROADSROLLING STOCKROUTEROUTESRURAL ACCESSRURAL WATERSAFE WATERSAFETYSANITATIONSANITATION SECTORSANITATION SERVICESSATELLITESERVICE CONTRACTSERVICE PROVIDERSSURFACE TRANSPORTSURFACE WATERTECHNICAL SUPPORTTELECOMTELECOMMUNICATIONSTELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICESTELEPHONETELEPHONE CALLSTELEPHONYTRAFFICTRAFFIC FLOWSTRAFFIC GROWTHTRAFFIC LEVELSTRAFFIC VOLUMETRAFFIC VOLUMESTRANSITTRANSMISSIONTRANSPORTTRANSPORT ACTIVITYTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT INDICATORSTRANSPORT MARKETTRANSPORT MODESTRANSPORT POLICYTRANSPORT QUALITYTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION COSTSTRANSPORTATION MARKETUNIVERSAL ACCESSURBAN AREASURBAN ROADVEHICLESWATER POLICYWATER PRICESWATER PRODUCTIONWATER RESOURCESWATER SECTORWATER SERVICESWATER SUPPLYWATER TARIFFSWATER UTILITIESWEALTHWEBWEB SITEWELLSReportWorld Bank10.1596/27261
