The mid-term review of the 2nd ICP (2008-2012) noted the delays in the implementation of projects and programmes in Burkina Faso. It also identified the year 2015 as a crucial period for the cooperation between Burkina Faso and Luxembourg, since it will be the final year of the implementation of the Burkina Faso Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Sustainable Development (SCADD). The Partnership Commission, held in Luxembourg in July 2012, therefore agreed to prolong the ICP for the period from 2013 to 2015 and to allocate a substantial supplementary budget devoted to new information and communication technology and to basic education.
