(Togo First) - The new resident representative of World Bank in Togo, Hawa Wagué, has officially entered into office today, July 10. She replaces Joelle Dehasse whose mandate ended last June 30.

I am glad to join the Togolese team as Resident Representative to pursue the mission of my predecessor,” said Hawa Wagué while taking office. She then added that her priority will be to “reinforce ongoing actions and progress, while staying on the course,” set by the Togolese and World Bank teams. This, in order to successfully implement the institution’s operations and boost its projects in Togo.

The Mauritanian economist will at her new position have three main objectives : boost the partnership between World Bank and Togo, play a strategic role in the implementation of Country Partnership Framework and lastly manage World Bank’s office in Lomé daily.

World Bank’s actual portfolio in Togo is very active and projects are being implemented well. My very first priority will be to assess mid-way our Country Partnership Framework to make sure our strategy still aligns with Togo’s development priorities,” the new resident representative declared.

Hawa Cissé Wagué joined the World Bank in September 2002, in Mauritania. She is an expert in credit risk and macroeconomic, tax and financial issues.

Before arriving in Lomé, the now 11th resident representative of World Bank’s office in Togo, was head economist at the World Bank’s Risk Credit division.
