Apart from regulatory compliance, the program also focuses on creating a more efficient, secure, and robust transport environment.

Commenting on the launch of the initiative, Eng.

We support the efforts of both public and private sector actors who are working towards the development of a safe and efficient transport sector in the West African sub-region. This is crucial for fostering economic and trade integration. The training provided will equip industry professionals with the necessary skills to meet local, regional, and international standards.  By participating in this initiative, trainers will not only enhance their own expertise but also contribute to Togo’s development and progress.
