Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 6
Abstract
In a bid to ensure harmonious development of its coast for tourism purposes, the Government of Benin has initiated along the route des pêches, a tourism project which is unfortunately experiencing some problems. This study aims to analyse the factors which are causing these problems. The methodology of the study includes literature review, field survey involving 285 people, data collection and processing. The SEPO model has been used to analyse the results. The study reveals that the project is hindered by three factors, namely an unstable legal and institutional framework, inadequate funding and a lack of political will. Actually, three project units, eight project officers and ten ministers were involved in project management at various stages. The Government allocated only 2.20% of total project fund, i.e. 0.61%, 0.29% and 1.31% to the three project units which took turn to manage it from 2001 to 2005, from 2005 to 2013 and from 2013 to 2016. Some private businesses were interested in funding the project but for 15 years the Government failed to make the land available to them. For this reason, the Government should devise a new project approach and create adequate conditions to implement it so that the coastal area can be developed in a sustainable manner in Benin.
