The most urgent item, I note, after casting my very experienced African eye over all the muted self-praise and self-importance is to find someone to cut all the self-congratulatory "weasel" words, public relations nonsense and, pardon my French please, allied bullshit.
To seek praise by pointing out in the "Did you know" feature that, as of 2008, "over 95% of urban Burkina Faso has access to improved water sources" as not only hypocritical but actually refers to the period in which this census was taken and is in no way a consequence of any efforts by the Burkina Faso government.
You also cleverly fail to point out that 77% of our population is non-urban so your impressive 95% is reduced to actually 21% - 22% of the total population having "improved" water sources which has been the case for the past 20 years to my certain documented knowledge.
The 77% live in a state of uncertainty and perpetual thirst and hunger [and the urban poor are also not much better off] which has not changed, again, for the past 20 years to my again certain well documented knowledge.
