Project: Water Security Project in Burkina Faso (PSE-BF)
Project ID: P177094
Financing: IDA Credit No. 7559-BF.
The Government of Burkina Faso has received a credit from the International Development Association (IDA), and intends to apply part of the proceeds of this credit to make payments under the following contract: Selection of a consultant (firm) for probity audit for the benefit of the Water Security Project in Burkina Faso.
The objective of recruiting the Probity Auditor is to ensure that appropriate procedures and review are in place to maintain the integrity of the procurement and execution process of contracts (components 1 and 2).
The mission is part of the implementation of activities under components 1 “Climate-Resilient Water Storage Infrastructure Security and Resilience”, 2 “Development of Climate-Smart Hydro-Agricultural Infrastructure” and 5 “Project Management” of the PSE-BF, and covers the period 2026-2030.
This audit is expected to enable the PSE-BF team and its partners to:

- Ensure that the services of the Works Supervision Offices comply with contractual requirements;
- Ensure the conformity of the works with the technical specifications and other technical documents governing the activities;

2. In terms of technical and financial execution control
The auditor will examine the reality of the services performed to ensure that public funds are used regularly:
