German Cooperation grants Togo €8M to spur decentralization

(Togo First) - Germany just granted Togo eight million euros, for the third phase of the decentralization support program (PAD 3). The funds were allocated by KfW, Germany’s development bank.

“The monies will help provide an adequate work environment for local representatives,” said Sani Yaya, Togo’s minister of finance, at the signing of the financing agreement between the State and KfW, last Wednesday.

The main objective of PAD 3 is to “enable local communities to fully play their part in the economic and social development of our country,” said Yaya.

Let’s recall that Germany, through KfW, has been supporting Togo in three major areas for some years now. These are namely professional and technical education and youth employment; health and rural development; and lastly decentralization and governance. In effect, since 2012, financing from the institution amounted to more than XOF130 billion.
