(Togo First) - Togo's Adétikopé Industrial Platform (PIA) has attracted cumulative investment of 350 billion CFA francs over the five years since its launch, the head of ACP, the agency overseeing the platform, said this week.
Idiola Sandah, president of the Platform Coordination Authority (ACP), presented the figures at an event earlier this week. He said the investment came from partner companies that are already operating or establishing operations at the industrial site.
The platform is currently home to 25 partner companies, 12 of which are already operational across sectors including soy, shea, cashew and textiles.
These facilities have generated 6,580 direct jobs over the past five years. Togolese nationals account for 95% of those positions, while young people and women together make up nearly 80% of the workforce.
PIA officials said the results were encouraging and aligned with the government's industrialization and job-creation objectives, while outlining plans to accelerate progress toward medium-term targets.
The platform is targeting 20,000 jobs by 2030. "The outlook is even more ambitious, with a target of between 15,000 and 20,000 jobs by 2030," Sandah said.
To achieve that goal, the ACP is banking on a second phase of PIA's development, which is currently being prepared. The expansion is expected to increase the number of industrial units from 25 to 50 and create more than 10,000 additional jobs.
Launched as part of Togo's national industrialization strategy, the PIA has established itself as one of the country's leading industrial processing hubs. The platform focuses on the local processing of agricultural raw materials while promoting higher-value exports.
