Togo/Distribution of revenue for the financing of waste transport

The Council of Ministers adopted on Wednesday the draft decree fixing the rates of distribution of tax and service revenues between the communes, the autonomous districts, the Support Fund for Local Authorities and the National Agency for Sanitation and Public Health.

In order to solve the problems of sanitation, this decree aims at organizing the distribution of revenues for the financing of the transport of household waste to the Aképé technical landfill for the Greater Lomé area and to the respective final dumps for the other regions.

This arrangement was made necessary by the implementation of decentralization and the creation of 117 communes with extended powers, particularly in the area of sanitation.
