Donga is an important coastal town in Benin's Atlantique department, located in the southwest of the country on the Gulf of Guinea, about 40 kilometers from the capital city of Porto Novo. As a transportation hub connecting Benin's inland and coastal regions, Dongari's core economic industries are fishing and trading, with the local fishing port supplying the markets of neighboring cities such as Cotonou with seafood caught daily. The town retains its traditional West African architectural style, and regular markets are held to attract neighboring villagers to trade agricultural products and handicrafts. Thanks to its proximity to Cotonou, Benin's economic center, Dongwari has developed small-scale manufacturing and tourism in recent years, making it a vibrant new town in the southern part of the Atlantique department.
