Morocco and Togo have taken a significant step to strengthen cooperation in the construction and public works sector through a strategic partnership agreement signed in Rabat on September 23, 2025.
The National Federation of Construction and Public Works (FNBTP – Morocco) and the National Association of Construction Contractors (GNEBTP – Togo) formalized the framework partnership at the headquarters of Morocco’s Ministry of Equipment and Water.
The ceremony was attended by Minister Nizar Baraka, the Togolese Ambassador to Morocco, the Ministry’s Secretary General, and delegations from both federations.
The agreement outlines a long-term cooperation strategy, covering multiple areas including capacity building, joint projects in international markets, and knowledge exchange. A central component is vocational training.
The Fez Construction Trades Training Institute (IFMBTP) will develop initial and continuing education programs for Togolese professionals, with the ultimate goal of establishing similar training structures in Togo.
This initiative highlights the importance of sharing expertise and transferring technical know-how.
Applied research and innovation in the construction sector are also key priorities, with the agreement encouraging joint projects and collaborative studies. In addition, bilateral meetings and visits are planned to foster business partnerships and strengthen complementarity between Moroccan and Togolese operators.
By formalizing this partnership, both federations aim to extend their impact beyond national markets and contribute to Africa’s infrastructure development. The collaboration reflects a broader vision of South-South cooperation, rooted in solidarity and the pooling of expertise to meet the continent’s growing construction and development needs.
FNBTP President and GNEBTP officials emphasized that this partnership will serve as a model for regional collaboration, promoting sustainable growth, innovation, and the exchange of best practices in the construction and public works sector across Africa.
