Land and estate management: the ANDF’s experience inspires Togo

The National Agency of the Domain and the Land (ANDF) received this Friday, September 17, 2018 a Togolese delegation. It was the occasion for the Managing Director Jules Victorien KOUGBLENOU and his team to share the Beninese experience in the framework of the implementation of the land and land management reform. To learn and to be inspired, these were the objectives of the mission of the delegation of the Republic sister and friend of Togo who stayed a few days in Cotonou. In particular, the delegation took part in working sessions, particularly with the ANDF Directorate General to understand the Agency’s positioning and take an interest in its expertise. Particular emphasis has been placed on the “Modernity and Property Security in Benin” project implemented by the ANDF since 2016 and which is already producing convincing results. The members of the delegation were entitled to two communications. The first gave an overview of the Agency through its mission, activities and organization within the institutional framework prescribed by the Land Code and Domanial for the recovery of land and property management. The second reviewed Benin’s significant progress in land and property matters and the results obtained with the digitization of the land archives, the computerization of land management procedures and the technical specifications of the cadastre being set up. . The very rich debates allowed the Togolese side to better appreciate the quality of the work that is being done as well as the fundamental options taken. It should be noted that the mission is part of an exchange visit that is part of the dynamics of sanitation and modernization of land and property management in Togo.
