Tog-Wajaale City Administration

Governance Structure (2026) | 15 Offices · Berbera Corridor Integration · Results-Oriented Framework

2026 Edition · Approved by City Council

Strategic Context – The Berbera Corridor

Gateway to growth: The Berbera Corridor links Port of Berbera to Addis Ababa via Tog-Wajaale. A new $15M cross-border bridge (funded by Sweden/TradeMark Africa) and road upgrades by UAE firm NBHH are underway (2026). Expected trade volume increase: +30%, lower transport costs, and major transit of livestock/goods.

For Tog-Wajaale, corridor expansion drives revenue, job creation, and infrastructure pressure. Our governance structure is tailored to maximize corridor benefits while managing public health, sanitation, and cross-border coordination.

Key Challenges

  • Balancing informal vs formal trade while ensuring inclusive benefits (women, youth, pastoralists)
Cross-cutting coordination: The Mayor’s Office leads a Corridor Task Force, ensuring collaboration among Trade, Revenue, Agriculture, Health, and Infrastructure units. Regular joint performance reviews track KPIs.
