Minister of Trade Calls for Inclusive Chamber of Commerce

(Togo First) - Togo’s Trade and Industry Chamber (CCIT) will have new management in the coming weeks. A preparatory meeting was held Tuesday in this regard. The meeting was led by Kodjo Adedze, minister of trade. 

On this occasion, the official asked actors present to set up an “inclusive” trade chamber. “The election of new managers has been suspended to have an inclusive chamber, one that represents every actor, whether in trade, industry or services,” Adedze said.

The elections, steered by Germain Mèba, ex-chairman of the CCIT, were suspended in September 2020 due to frequent complaints raised by some professional associations and economic operators, added to “non-compliance with the conditions for drawing up electoral lists in each prefecture or sub-prefecture.”

Still, to make the trade chamber more inclusive, the Special Consular Delegation (DSC) was created in January 2021. Its main missions include managing the chamber's ongoing and pressing affairs, reviewing its rules, and organizing inclusive elections.

The CCIT acts as a bridge between the Togolese business community and the Togolese government. It has a consultative and representative mission. It also provides advice, support, information, training, and management of industrial and commercial services.
