From 26th to 27th August 2015, Niger’s National Union of Informal Transport Workers (SYNATRA) made a work visit to Togo’s Federation of Transport Workers (FESYTRAT). The visit was organised as part of SYNATRA’s union mentoring programme in West Africa, for the ITF Informal Transport Workers Project.
The subject of this visit was: “Actors in the informal economy are workers with the same rights of organisation, representation and social protection that other workers have”. The aim of the work visit was to establish collaborative relations and exchange experiences with the counterparts from Togo in the framework of social protection and workers in the informal economy.
During field visits, Niger’s delegation was able to discuss and asked questions to get a better understanding of how the informal sector is organised, the difficulties encountered, and how these difficulties were overcome in Togo.
