Benin: The Set Course for the Implementation of Six Regional Poles

The government of President Romuald Wadagni has initiated the operationalization of six territorial development poles aimed at boosting local growth through agriculture, tourism, industry, and innovation. A strategic schedule from October 2026 to December 2027 includes establishing governance bodies, identifying growth drivers, operational planning, and launching projects.
