Togo: Chamber of Commerce and Industry to boost Togo-Burkina Faso trade

(Togo First) - The chamber of commerce and industry of Togo (CCIT) wants to boost trade between Burkina Faso and Togo. To this end, the chamber held, on Oct. 13, a meeting with its technical and financial partners to assess the needs of sellers active on the Lomé-Ouagadougou axis. 

Measures planned to support small sellers along this road axis include “interventions at checkpoints to make it easier for them to transport their goods, and boosting capacities to help them better manage their business,” said Yawo Josias Kavege, director of business support at the CCIT.

The meeting held two days ago concerned actors of the formal sector, security, and sellers’ association. It falls under the Program to Boost Trade in West Africa which ends in 2023. This program aims not only to improve trade between Burkina Faso and Togo but also to triple inter-African trade volumes by 2025.
