Togo and Burkina Faso Move Closer to Free-Roaming Pact

(Togo First) - Togo and Burkina Faso are preparing to sign a bilateral free-roaming agreement to lower communication costs for travelers between the two countries. Dr. Pasteur Poda, Chairman of ARCEP Burkina Faso's Regulatory Council, announced the initiative after leading an exchange mission to Lomé from March 24 to 27, 2025.

Togo already has free-roaming agreements with Benin, Ghana, and Côte d’Ivoire. Talks are also underway with Mali and Niger to expand this regional cooperation.

Discussions between Togo and Burkina Faso focused on digital transformation, especially on Togo’s expertise in data-driven regulation. Burkina Faso delegates visited ARCEP Togo’s supervision center, which monitors service quality in real time.

The two regulatory authorities plan to formalize their partnership through an agreement in the coming weeks.
