Togo was one of the six West African states represented in the Fisheries Committee for the Centre-West Gulf of Guinea (FCWC), which was a result of Fisheries and Aquaculture Programme investing in the strengthening of platforms for sub-regional ministers of fisheries. The development of this functional working relationship will facilitate institutional support activities and create a platform for knowledge sharing amongst member states, consequently resulting in the sustainability and prosperity of the fisheries sector in Togo and the West Africa region.
