ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½modernises road transport in Togo

12 Oct 2020 · People, Prosperity

With the support of the World Bank, ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½has delivered the third phase of a five-part road transport reform project in Togo.

This stage focused on providing new laws to regulate the road transport industry, including access to the profession. A comprehensive set of model contracts clarifying roles and responsibilities of transport companies was also developed.

The project began in 2019, when ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½was selected as the organisation best suited to reform the road transport sector in Togo. Since then, ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½has been advising the Togolese government on how to build cost-effective, safe and high-quality transport systems. The improvements made over the course of this project should help establish the country as a transport hub, facilitating trade and reducing poverty in the region.

The last two steps will focus on establishing a road transport federation to represent the interests of the industry and implementing a training and qualification framework to professionalise the sector, ensuring safety and operational efficiency.
