THE Togolese government is launching the National Strategy for Universal Access to Drinking Water and Sanitation. The program, which will require an investment of 2.2 billion euros, will accelerate the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Togo by 2030.
For a total cost of 1,450 billion CFA francs (2.2 billion euros), the National Strategy for Universal Access to Drinking Water and Sanitation is one of the largest projects currently carried out by Togo. The initiative launched recently in the capital Lomé will be implemented between 2023 and 2030 by the Togolese Ministry of Water and Village Hydraulics for the benefit of a population currently estimated at 8.4 million inhabitants.
This project is financed to the tune of 243.4 billion CFA francs (370 million euros) by the Togolese State, which will mobilize the rest of the financing from its national and international partners, in particular local financial institutions and international organizations, in particular the French Development Agency (AFD), the African Development Bank (ADB) or the World Bank.
According to official figures, the rate of access to drinking water in this West African country has increased
from 34% in 2010 to 65% in 2021.
In Lomé, people appreciate the project and hope that It will cover the entire country.
