The President of ARMFA was in Lome in Togo during the week of February 8, 2010 for a work visit. The aim was to collect from the local authorities, informations on the actions set up after the dissolution of the Road maintenance Funds of this country on August 7, 2008. It was also a question of reiterating the availability of ARMFA to bring the support necessary in the evaluation, the improvement and the accompaniment of any action aiming at perennializing the financings intended for the maintenance and the development of the Togolese highway network.

At the end of the exchanges considered as beneficial by the two parts, it appeared the need for continuing to observe the operation of the three instruments installed:

·         Road Fund (RF). RF having as essential mission of financing the construction and the alignments roads and rural road on the entire territory.

·         A tolls management Company and road maintenance (CAPER). CAPER is intended for the financing of roads maintenance  and  rural road.

·         A National Roads council (NRC) having for mission, to deliver its opinion on the multiannual programmings and the annual programming of roads maintenance.

However, the failures already observed on the institutional level will be the subject of a corrective text. The visit of the President was completed with the hope to see again Togolese authorities, founding member of ARMFA, to join the platforms of dialogue of the Association as well at the level sub-regional as continental.
