Agoè-Nyivé 5 Joins National Push to Decentralize Development Planning

(Togo First) - The municipality of Agoè-Nyivé 5 officially launched the development of its Communal Development Plan (PDC) on Tuesday, July 29, 2025. The PDC will serve as a medium-term roadmap to structure local investments in the Sanguéra area.

The process began with a collective effort involving various stakeholders, including municipal officials, state representatives, traditional authorities, civil society, and members of the diaspora. The goal is to define development priorities with the local population in key areas like healthcare, education, rural infrastructure, drinking water, and electrification.

According to Mayor Enyonam Afiwa Gbodzo, the PDC is an essential tool for local governance. "Its effectiveness depends on its rigor," she said, urging stakeholders to take active ownership of the document. Prefect Dr. Tinaka Wédiabalo Kossi praised the initiative, calling it "a pathway to a structured future for the municipality."

Agoè-Nyivé 5, located in the Greater Lomé area, covers 28 square kilometers and has nearly 39,000 inhabitants across 19 villages, centered around Sanguéra. Its communal development plan is part of a national initiative supported by GIZ through the ProDeG IV program. The program is also being implemented in the municipalities of Wawa 1, Tchaoudjo, Doufelgou, and Golfe 7, which have also started drafting their PDCs this year.
