Togo/ Local development: launch of 23 microprojects in ten communes with German support

At the end of June 2025, Togo's Minister of Regional Planning and Development, Joseph Gomado, officially launched the implementation of 23 micro-projects in ten of the country's communes. These initiatives, which focus on socio-economic infrastructure, sanitation and environmental preservation, receive technical and financial support from the German development cooperation agency GIZ, to the tune of 168.85 million FCFA.

The beneficiary communes are Oti Sud 1 (Savanes), Dankpen 1 (Kara), Mô 2 and Blitta 1 (Centrale), Est-Mono 1, Haho 1 and Agou 1 (Plateaux), as well as Avé 2, Vo 2 and Lacs 1 (Maritime). This operation marks the launch of the implementation phase of the Communal Development Plans (PDC), drawn up as part of the government's 2020-2025 Roadmap.

According to Minister Joseph Gomado, these micro-projects aim to " strengthen local capacities, improve access to essential services, promote local entrepreneurship and foster more participative and transparent management of resources ".

The process will gradually be extended to five other pilot communes, before being extended to all local authorities in the country.
