Togo: Government to spend CFA53 billion on rural road rehabilitation and expansion in 2024

(Togo First) - Togo plans to allocate CFA53 billion to its Ministry of Rural Roads this year. The ministry will use part of the funds to implement 21 projects that will help open up rural areas across the country.

The government is already negotiating with companies that build modular metal bridges, in line with the initiative. Ultimately, the project will make it easier for people in rural Togo to access basic socio-economic services and sell farming produce.

The ministry will use another part of the resources to finance urgent works announced in October 2023 to rehabilitate several bridges and major axes in the countryside. 

Lastly, some of the money will serve to build and rehabilitate 4,550 km of rural tracks by 2025.

This year, the Ministry of Rural Roads received 43% more than the sum it was allocated in 2023 (CFA37 billion), under the rectifying finance bill.
