The Oti 1 commune in northern Togo has taken a decisive step toward long-term development. Recently, the local government validated its Development Plan for the 2025 to 2035 period in Mango. This milestone followed a plenary assembly that brought together key stakeholders and community representatives.
Importantly, the approved document sets clear priorities for public action over the next decade. It outlines how the commune plans to guide investment, improve services, and strengthen local governance. Through this plan, Oti 1 aims to align development goals with community needs.
The projected cost of the programme exceeds 995 million FCFA. This level of investment reflects the ambition of the commune. It also signals a strong commitment to sustainable and inclusive development.
Moreover, the Development Plan covers a wide range of critical sectors. Health remains a top priority, with a focus on improving access and service quality. Education also features prominently, especially initiatives to strengthen learning infrastructure and outcomes.
In addition, the plan addresses energy development. Reliable energy access will support households, businesses, and public institutions. Drinking water and sanitation projects also rank high, given their impact on public health and quality of life.
Security and local governance form another core pillar of the plan. The commune aims to enhance safety while strengthening institutional capacity. Better governance, in turn, will support transparency and effective service delivery.
Furthermore, the plan highlights trade and infrastructure development. Improved roads, markets, and public facilities are expected to boost local commerce. These efforts should create jobs and expand economic opportunities across the commune.
Overall, the validation of the 2025–2035 Development Plan marks a turning point for Oti 1. Through focused investments and coordinated action, the commune is positioning itself for steady growth. As implementation begins, attention will now shift to execution, monitoring, and community engagement to ensure lasting impact.
