(Ecofin Agency) - In Togo, the theater hall of the ministry of culture will be rehabilitated by the European Union for FCFA200 million.

The related agreement was signed August 28, 2017, by the minister of communication, culture, youth and civic training, Guy Madje Lorenzo and EU’s ambassador near Togo, Nicolas Berlanga Martinez. The rehabilitation is great news for actors of the Togolese cultural industry, comedians, painters, singers, who will have a space to show their works and perform.

In details, while two third of the FCFA200 million will be used for the rehabilitation itself, the rest will be spent on cultural programmes. The new theater hall will have at least 150 seats. On three levels, it will have modern equipment and facilities, regarding lighting and sound. There will be a projection room where film production, from Togo and elsewhere, will be often shown. In addition, it will have a conference hall, according to the minister.
