Commune Doufelgou 2

Doufelgou 2 is one of three communes of the Doufelgou prefecture in Togo’s Kara Region, with its seat at Défalé and a population of 11 722 at the 2022 census. The commune sits in the Atakora range, where the chain takes the name of the Défalé mountains and rises to between 400 and 800 metres, in a Sudanian climate of one long rainy and one long dry season. Its economy rests on agriculture — sorghum, millet, yams, cassava, maize, groundnuts, fonio and soy, alongside livestock rearing — and the commune has invested in solar-powered and hand-pump boreholes to widen drinking-water access, together with a solar-powered irrigation system for market gardening.
