TOGO GOVT. SET TO ADOPT MASTER PLAN FOR COASTAL DEVELOPMENT

Togo could soon adopt a master plan for the development of its coast (SDAL). The project was discussed last week, on Oct. 26, at the Council of Ministers.

The SDAL, according to a statement relayed by the minister of maritime economy and coastal protection, Edem Kokou Tengue, will be based on scientific data and will emphasize an integrated ecosystem management approach.

The plan should foster space rationalization and proper execution of development projects, “ to meet the challenges of rising waters linked to climate change“.

The move will also help to develop the economic and tourism potential of Togo’s coastal strip and improve its management.

The SDAL is backed by institutions such as the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the World Bank.
