An inter-municipal association to manage the agro-pastoral infrastructures in the Plateaux region

(Togo First) - Last week, in Notsè (Plateaux region), local communities established the Intermunicipal Association for the Development of the Plateaux region (AIDAP). The association’s purpose is the concerted management of agro-pastoral infrastructures and the planification of joint actions to develop the region. 

We came here to assess and adopt rules that will set up the association of municipalities concerned by agropastoralism. This is a matter of solidarity. The various municipal councils must deliberate on these rules’ content so that municipalities without agro-pastoral infrastructures can benefit from those that have them. That is the advantage of the inter-municipal association,” declared Atara Ifaraba, mayor of Anié 1 and chairman of the newly-established association. 

By promoting a strong collaboration between local municipalities, the AIDAP wishes to help make the movement of herds safer and tackle issues of herdsmen of the region, by improving their access to pastoral spaces. The inter-municipal association benefits from the technical support of Enterprise Territoires et Développement (ETD), an agricultural NGO, and the financial support of Acting for Life.
