Gulf Municipality 2 Seeks ‍International Partnerships for Community Development

The Gulf Municipality 2 is working to ‍establish partnerships with⁣ European cities,⁢ starting with ‍the town ⁤of Plurien in Brittany, France, to enhance its⁢ Community⁢ Development Plan (CDP) and improve living conditions for its‍ residents.

This partnership, facilitated by Afrique Performe, ⁤a Beninese company specializing in cultural and tourism policy ⁤issues, ​will provide​ the municipality with financial, economic, and technical resources for ⁢greater efficiency and results.

A ‌work session will be held ​on September 20, 2024, at the Golfe 2 Town Hall in Lomé, between the cabinet and​ the first officials of the‌ municipality, ⁢to explore ways and ⁣means ‍of developing a partnership project with the French cultural and tourist commune.

According ‌to Komi Edoh, 1st deputy and⁢ temporary interim,⁤ the Gulf Municipality 2 is ‌seeking to move ‍to ⁣another dimension related to decentralized cooperation, recognizing that ‌no⁤ municipality can live ​in isolation⁢ and must⁤ partner⁤ with others‌ to obtain necessary resources.

“We believe⁢ that this partnership ‍will allow us to have the financial, economic, and technical resources necessary to‍ strengthen the position of ​our employees for greater efficiency and results on the ground,” Edoh explained.

The ​company’s presentation, its experiences with other municipalities, and strategies to attract funding will be discussed during the meeting.

“We will ⁢draw‍ inspiration from these⁢ experiences, adapt it to the⁢ reality of the Gulf municipality⁣ 2, and see what connection we⁣ can ⁢make with this ⁣company and our PDC,” Edoh concluded.
