This profile first explains the role, then how to send a request from Belgium through the Honorary Consulate of Benin in Liège.
The role of Emmanuel Dossou Zounmènou
Chosen by the municipal council from among its members, the mayor heads the administration of the municipality of Bonou. Emmanuel Dossou Zounmènou therefore implements the council's decisions, prepares and executes the municipal budget and represents the municipality.
The mayor is also the civil registrar: the municipality's birth, marriage and death certificates are drawn up under the mayor's authority. Moreover, since the decentralisation of 2003, municipalities have managed local planning, markets, roads, sanitation, and the building and upkeep of primary schools and basic health centres.
For the Beninese diaspora in Belgium, the town hall therefore remains the natural contact for a civil status matter, a project in one's home municipality or a local procedure.
