ECOWAS Trade Empowerment: ECOWAS launched in Lomé a regional fortnight to boost women small-scale cross-border traders, with Togo’s economy minister Badanam Patoki presiding and the programme spotlighting barriers and policy solutions to deepen women’s role in regional integration. Single African Air Transport Market: African ministers adopted the Lomé Declaration and implementation matrix to cut regulatory and structural barriers to cheaper, more connected air travel, reinforcing SAATM and the Yamoussoukro Decision; Togo also signed an AFCAC agreement to strengthen its role as an aviation hub. Fisheries & Food Security: Togo urged stakeholders to respect the annual Gulf of Guinea fishing moratorium as demand far outstrips local supply, citing illegal fishing, overfishing and habitat damage behind the gap. Investment Pitch: President Faure Gnassingbé told European and Middle Eastern investors at FII Priority Europe that Lomé can serve as a gateway for integrated productive ecosystems, not isolated assets. Regional Energy Trade Watch: S&P Global Energy reports Nigerian marketers are increasingly importing Dangote refinery products via Lomé’s ship-to-ship hub, with 70–80% of sea-borne volumes into Nigeria linked to Dangote between March and May. Digital Support for SMEs: Agence Togo Digital rolled out a digital toolkit (BoD-TPME) to help micro, small and medium enterprises access growth tools, IT advisers and practical resources.
