COSO Project: CFA13.3 Billion Spent So Far to Fight Poverty in Northern Togo

(Togo First) - A total of CFA13.3 billion has been spent in northern Togo since June 2022, as part of the COSO social cohesion project. Backed by the World Bank, this project covers all northern regions of the Gulf of Guinea, with the goal of fighting poverty appropriately. 

According to the National Agency for Grassroots Development (ANADEB), which steers the project in Togo, it has helped build 50 community facilities, including 43 PV-powered wells, five school buildings, and two community centers. 

The agency revealed that more sub-projects were recently validated, including some in the Tone 3 municipal located in the Savanes region. On September 19, the Lotogou Cantonal Development Committee (CCD) held a meeting to decide on the priority infrastructure sub-projects to be carried out in Lotogou district. The whole district, which comprises 18 villages, will get CFA357 million to develop energy, education, agriculture, and social projects.

Meanwhile, CFA33 billion should go to 41 border districts–37 in the Savanes region, two in the Kara region, and two in the Central region. 

Besides Togo, the COSO covers the northern part of Benin, Côte d'Ivoire, and Ghana. The project spans five years.
