AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

French Media Detention: Two French documentary filmmakers and their Togolese fixer, arrested near Kara on July 27 while filming for France 5, have been placed in pre-trial detention in Togo on “false declarations,” with Reporters Without Borders and the French Foreign Ministry calling for their release. Border Safety Tragedy: A 20-year-old man drowned while helping travellers cross the Ghana–Togo border river at Tambalug; search efforts continue as communities urge safer alternatives during heavy rains. Food Tourism Spotlight: Lomé’s Festival La Marmite (FESMA) opened Aug. 12, running to Aug. 16, bringing about 100 exhibitors across the food value chain and pushing local products, culinary competition, and food-industry innovation. Regional Travel Ease: ECOWAS is holding stakeholder engagements at the Noépé-Akanu/Akanu-Noepe border posts to reduce delays and improve movement of people and goods along the Abidjan–Lagos corridor, with a focus on traders and travellers. Local Economy & Heritage: Agortime’s 31st Kente Festival in the Volta Region (with neighbouring Togo participation) renewed calls to preserve traditional weaving and create sustainable youth jobs. Cost of Living Watch: Togo’s inflation rose to 0.3% in July 2026, driven mainly by energy, transport, and housing-related price increases.
