Rsif in Burkina Faso 2022 – English

Abstract

Burkina Faso contributed USD 2 million to Rsif in 2020. There are 16 competitively selected Burkinabè Rsif doctoral scholars (1 woman, 15 men) registered in four thematic areas in seven different Rsif African host universities across the continent. Twelve of these started their studies in 2022. There are so far 4 journal publications by Burkinabè Rsif students. Institut International d'Ingénierie de l'Eau et de l'Environnement (2iE) was competitively selected as an Rsif African host university in Energy including renewables and admitted its first cohort of Rsif funded students in 2022. 2iE is hosting 13 Rsif students from five different African nationalities (31% women) in its PhD programme in Sciences and Technologies of Water, Energy and the Environment. An Rsif project funded by the European Union’s ACP Innovation Fund on “Precision Pest and Disease Management System based on Multidimensional Big Data” is also under implementation in Burkina Faso.
