Bembou (arrondissement)

Bembou is an arrondissement located in the Kouffo department of Benin. An arrondissement is an administrative subdivision of a larger political entity, typically a commune or department, in some French-speaking countries. In the context of Benin, arrondissements serve as local governance units, often encompassing multiple villages or smaller settlements. They are generally responsible for managing local services and representing the interests of the residents within their jurisdiction. The administration of Bembou, like other arrondissements in Benin, is overseen by a chief who reports to the higher authorities of the Kouffo department and the national government. Information regarding the specific population, economic activities, and infrastructure of Bembou can usually be found through official Beninese government sources, such as the Institut National de la Statistique et de l'Analyse Économique (INSAE).
