Togo’s Koutammakou landscape will be restored with CFA3 billion

(Togo First) - Togo plans to restore the Koutammakou landscape, a UNESCO cultural heritage site. The estimated cost of the works is CFA3 billion, according to the related feasibility study recently approved by the Togolese ministry of culture and tourism and its partners. 

In detail, the project involves restoring the landscape’s forest, and building attractive infrastructures, notably a hotel complex and a reforestation area. An "eco-village" should also be built on a land of 210 hectares, with turret houses that characterize the culture and identity of the Batamariba people of Koutammakou.

The project, according to the ministry of culture, aims to give back the site the image that led it to join UNESCO’s World Heritage list in 2004. Also, it seeks to develop tourism, said the minister himself, Kossi Gbégnon Lamadokou.
