Togo Chamba: Trade and Transportation Hub on the West African Coast
Tchamba, located in the central savannah region of Togo, is not a coastal city but an important inland agricultural and commercial center. Located on Togo's main north-south transportation route and adjacent to the Benin border, the city is known for its multiculturalism. The local economy is based on the cultivation of maize, cassava and other crops, and traditional handicrafts and weekly markets attract people from neighboring regions.
History, Culture and Nature
Chamba retains strong tribal traditions and is home to the Kotokoli and other ethnic groups, with distinctive folk dances and rituals. It is surrounded by a savannah landscape with migrating wildlife during the dry season. The city does not have a seaport, but is connected to the port of Lomé by a network of roads, making it a key point for the distribution of goods in the interior of Togo.
Current state of development and the role of the region
In recent years, Chamba has been able to capitalize on cross-border trade to develop a small-scale processing industry and improve basic education facilities. As the center of the border between Togo and Benin, Chamba plays a key role in the regional integration process of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
