On June 25, 2011, the Chinese Government and the Government of Togo signed an exchange of letters regarding the Maritime Region Borehole Drilling Project. The Chinese Government reportedly committed CFA 800 million of grant funding in total. This project involved the drilling of 100 boreholes in Togo’s southern Maritime Region. Each borehole was equipped with a human-powered pump. China Nonferrous Engineering Survey Institute Co., Ltd was the contractor responsible for implementation. On June 22, 2012, a groundbreaking ceremony took place. It was attended by Togo’s Minister of Water, Sanitation and Village Hydraulics, Zakari Nandja, and the Chinese Ambassador to Togo, Zuofeng Wang. The project was completed sometime around October, in 2012.
