Support Laboratories in Burkina Faso & Zimbabwe

Background

Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries in Africa, ranks 182 out of 189 countries in the human development index. Additionally, it ranks below average compared to countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Action10 is now aiming to raise funds to provide lab equipment to the laboratories in Burkina Faso that currently experience a lack of resources. This will enable the laboratory to bring the research, on water quality among other things, forward and improve the standard of living.

Project update

For Action10 and HR&S, managing stakeholder relationships is of the utmost importance, and we constantly aim to be a trust-worthy and capable partner. Three of these are the Target Partners we work with, the donors, as well as international and national implementing partners.

• From the point of view of the Target Partner we build the collaboration programme on the ambition of our partner, on their their challenges and on their network and understanding of the local situation. 
• From the point of view of the investors we work with risk/return & impact ratios. Investors need to know that the funds and effort they contributed with is well managed so that money is not lost and sustainable impact is ensured. Thus, HR&S is developing tools for risk assessment and risk mitigation.
• HR&S offers the service of both the international and national implementing partners; HR&S HQ together with Action10 operates as the international implementing partners and HR&S Country branches operates as the national implementing partners.

We empower every key stakeholder; through our development programmes, our target partners in lower income countries and our investors, as well as the international and the national implementing partners.
