CORRIDORS MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR
THE RING OF GROWTH IN WEST AFRICA (WAGRI-CACAO)
1. TITLE: Project for the construction of an industrial park in Sarakawad in the Kara region (Development and Viabilisation)
2. COUNTRIES OF INTERVENTION: Togo
3. AREA OF INTERVENTION: North-Togo, Kara Region (Sarakawa)
4. AREAS OF INTERVENTION: Industry
5. Strategic focus of the management plan: Button A, Axes 1 and 2:
Ø Strategy 1: "Promotion of various economic sectors" contributing to regional development; and
Ø Strategy 2: "Investment Promotion for the Motor Economic Sectors" by taking advantage of the integration and expansion of subregional markets.
6.JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT:
Togo has adopted in 2018 its National Development Plan (PND) .This very ambitious plan covering the period 2018-2022 has the global objective of structurally transforming the economy, for a strong, sustainable, resilient, inclusive, creative growth. decent jobs and leading to improvements in social well-being.
At least 500,000 direct jobs are envisaged over the period of implementation of the PND.
The industrial sector, beyond the wealth it creates, is a real provider of jobs. As part of the implementation of the PND, the creation of industrial parks and special economic zones is part of the logic of axis 2 of the PND, which plans to develop agricultural processing, manufacturing and industrial poles. mining.
The CACAO Project Master Plan recommends the diversification of the economic sectors of the inland areas and the coastal zones. It takes into consideration urban development and rural development in its recommended growth scenario. Urban centers along economic corridors (both north-south corridors and the west-east coastal corridor) are strategic locations to attract manufacturing industries. In order to support such development of manufacturing sectors in urban centers, it is important to provide economic infrastructure, such as water supply, electricity supply, industrial parks and ICT.
The population of the City of Kara was 117,000 in 2015. It is expected that the population of Kara will be 334,000 by 2040. Kara is located on the Corridor of Lome-Ouagadougou. By improving the Lomé-Ouagadougou Corridor road, and by providing economic infrastructures, Kara will be able to play the role of one of the major regional centers and commercial, logistical, industrial and agricultural centers in the northern areas of Togo.
However, it is obvious that without the viabilisation of industrial areas acquired, the conditions for a good implementation of industrial units would not be met. Also, the present project aims at servicing a 100 hectare site acquired in the region of Kara (Sarakawa) for the installation of industrial units. The establishment of this site in the interior of the country will allow to deconcentrate the industrial units of the country which today are more than 90% based in the capital Lome. This project will also promote the comparative advantages of the region from the point of view of agricultural potential and a strong use of local labor and indirectly, the reduction of the rural exodus.

8. STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS
General Objective (Goal): Densify the industrial fabric and increase its contribution to GDP
Specific objectives: 1. Encourage the establishment of a large number of industrial units through development and servicing of the site
2. Valuing local raw materials through processing
3. Increase Togolese exports in industrial products
4. Create at least 15 thousand sustainable jobs
Expected results: 1. The site is secured by a linear fence, developed and serviced favoring the establishment of several industrial units
2. Raw materials are processed locally
3. Togolese exports of industrial products are increased
4. At least 15 thousand sustainable jobs are created
Main activities :
1. Carry out a study of security, development, viabilisation and environmental and social impact of the Sarakawa industrial site
2. Set up a system for securing the industrial park
3. Carry out track construction work
4. Perform water, electricity and telecommunication services
5. Put in place incentives for the installation of industrial units
Environmental and social impact: The Sarakawad site development and servicing project in the Kara region will be preceded by a study that takes into account the environmental and social impacts. The report document with this study will identify key measures to mitigate negative effects on the social and physical environment.
