Sokodé artisans undergo training in ecological septic tank construction

Thirty artisans, including masons, plumbers, and ironworkers, are participating in a professional training program in Sokodé, Togo. The workshop, running from September 28 to October 3, focuses on the construction and maintenance of ecological septic tanks and non-emptiable soakaways.

The initiative is organized by the Central Regional Chamber of Trades (CRM-C) in collaboration with the Technical and Professional Institute/Carrefour des leaders (ITP/CDL), with financial support from the National Fund for Apprenticeship, Training, and Professional Development (FNAFPP).

The training aims to introduce new technologies to address pollution issues and improve sanitation standards.
