Lomé & Togo Infrastructure Overhaul: Togo has created two new road institutions—AGEROUTE TOGO to manage and oversee road project delivery, and SONAFIR to replace SAFER and mobilize stronger funding for maintenance—aimed at cutting delays and cost overruns. Power & Energy: The government says recent outages are driven by reduced electricity imports from Ghana and Nigeria, plus higher demand during extreme heat, and it outlined emergency generation steps while planning longer-term supply strengthening. Agriculture & Jobs: BOAD approved CFA40bn for the second phase of Togo’s farm mechanization and irrigation programme (ProMAI), building on earlier funding to boost yields and food security. Women Farmers Push: Togo kicked off the International Year of the Woman Farmer, highlighting barriers women face in land, credit and inputs, and pointing to support schemes like AGRISEF. Business & Finance: Di-Kéti 2026 runs in Lomé July 2–4, focusing on how MSMEs can grow and sustain businesses, with major regional investors and hotel leaders set to speak. Regional Security Spillover: In Lagos, NSCDC arrested cable vandals and other suspects, while NDLEA seized large drug consignments linked to routes involving Togo. Weather Watch (Neighbouring Impact): Flooding and heavy rains disrupted Accra and Greater Accra, with forecasts warning more rain as systems move from the Togo-Benin coastline.
