The Project was officially launched by the authorities under HE Primer Minister on 7 November 2017 during the National Internet Week (Semaine Nationale de l'Internet). The first meeting of the Steering Committee (Comité de Pilotage) took place and endorsed among other points the Annual Budget and Work Plan on 21 December 2017. The second meeting of the Steering Committee took place on 24 May 2018. This session was chaired by Mr. Kisito Traore, General Secretary at the Ministry of Development of Digital Economy and Posts along with Mr. Dié Sanou, the new Director at the National Agency of ICT Promotion and eBurkina Project Coordinator, as Secretary. This second meeting endorsed a revised version of the Annual Budget and Work Plan for the year 2018. The Digital Development sector and this project are seen and highlighted as enablers for Burkina Faso’s development impacting on mutualization of key infrastructure, connectivity and information systems platforms and consider topics such as Digital ID/ID for Development, Digital by Default and continuity in the sector. Based on progress noted during the March support mission and following months, the progress towards Project Development Objective (PDO) implementation remains satisfactory as most activities are under way and some completed within first year since project effectiveness and preliminary results in all components are starting. eBurkina project is on track towards achievement of PDO during project duration and initial results on PDO-level and intermediate indicators are showing positively. The Implementation Progress becomes moderately satisfactory as there have been some delays affecting implementation and procurement processes that have now been solved. Indeed, in the last months, the Implementing Agency has completed a smooth transition and the core implementation team remains unchanged. Additionally, there has been progress across all components with specific crucial studies and procurement processes under way, and some activities well under way as well as all PIU recruitment fully completed. Therefore, the Project team wants to review the ratings during the next support mission planned around October and check on the status of key activities such as the e-Government strategy, the opening of the incubators and the launch of the first e-services. The latest support mission allowed to set specific objectives and timeline of activities up to October 2018 such as developing eGovernment strategy with MDENP, the cybersecurity framework, support and roadmap with ANSSI (Component 1); launching e-Government platform and migrating applications to the Government Cloud (Component 2) as well as supporting intranet, archiving and government email (in collaboration with DANIDA and Luxemburg- funded projects); and opening incubators (for Q3) including feasibility study, training and mentorship for civil servants and other stakeholders in the Digital ecosystem (Component 3), and completing PIU (ANPTIC) recruitments and trainings (Component 4). The overall implementation progress and per component as well as fiduciary aspects and M&E are all evaluated as Satisfactory at this stage. Regarding project management, the ANPTIC (PIU) has also progressed well in the implementation of activities and completing procurement processes as well as monitoring progress of the project and engaging with key stakeholders (e.g. tech-hubs and digital ecosystem, operators) and key beneficiaries (e.g. other line Ministries such as Ministry of Agriculture, Water, Economy and Finance). Finally, the project looks at supporting the Authorities and key stakeholders in the definition of Digital Government ("Digital by default") and whole-of- Government approach as well as the implementation of ICT standards, cybersecurity and interoperability within the government, ensure change management and increase the level of adoption and uptake of eServices and applications from civil servants. Regarding the different components' implementation progress and detailed status: -Component 1: Activity 1.1 and 1.2: activities under preparation include: review and upgrade the e-Government strategy, including a stocktaking of public websites and e-Services and a feasibility study of the digitization of administrative procedures to support e-Government strategy (and also National Plan for Digital Economy), digitization of administrative procedures, and archiving and mission management are under way; Activity 1.3: support to the establishment of a dedicated governance and institutional framework for e-Government: contract has been awarded and the activity is ongoing to support e-Government strategy, as well as implementation of the National Plan for Digital Economy and Open Source strategy; Activity 1.4: support to the cybersecurity strategy including detailed roadmap especially focusing on ANSSI as well as General Security Database ("RGS"): contract has been awarded and first deliverables completed; Activity 1.5: uncer preparation to support interoperability framework and data management across the Administration. -Component 2: Activity 2.1: Deploying a Digital Platform for e-Service Delivery for simplifying and reducing the cost of implementation of e-Services: activities under preparation for the deployment of applications regarding electronic management and documents archiving as well as integration of public entities and management of official missions; Activity 2.2: Strengthening data management and open data in key sectors: Burkina Faso held the first Francophone African Open Data Conference on 1-3 June in Ouagadougou with support from World Bank, GODAN, OD4D, AFD and participation from multiple African countries.
