The training emphasizes strict adherence to national and international regulations while also setting new industry standards. This forward-thinking initiative aims to enhance the expertise of the distinguished trainers at the Center for Road Transport Professions in Togo. 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. Hani Salem Sonbol, CEO of ITFC and AATB General Secretary stated “The AATB program is dedicated to fostering economic development in the Republic of Togo, particularly in harnessing the significant potential within the transportation sector. 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.
