It is also a system of governance which recommends the involvement of citizens in the management of the affairs of the city at the base and the change of mentalities with regard to the strategies of development that it induces.

In Togo, he continued, the challenges of decentralization include strengthening participatory and representative democracy, transferring skills and resources and managing them.
