This conurbation, which stretches around Lake Nokoué, is undergoing significant demographic growth with a population exceeding 2.5 million. It includes the economic capital Cotonou, the administrative capital Porto-Novo, and two residential municipalities: Abomey-Calavi and Sèmè-Podj.
Given its demographic size and the importance of the economic activities it already hosts, Grand Nokoué is a strategic area that requires support for its development.
The creation of a city action plan will strengthen the efforts of the government and local authorities to improve the living conditions of its inhabitants.
