| Summary: | Rapid digital transformation has been
re-shaping the global economy, changing fundamental patterns
of socioeconomic activities and accelerating further in the
wake of the global Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In this
context, relying on the Digital Economy for Africa (DE4A)
methodology, the report conducts a timely diagnostic of the
state of digital economy in Togo. Togo is bordered by Ghana,
Benin, and Burkina Faso, and has a coastline that runs along
the Gulf of Guinea. The government of Togo (GoT) is
cognizant of the importance of the transformation towards a
digital economy. As the government of Togo launches into the
development of a new strategy for digital transformation
“Togo Digital 2025” the current diagnostic would provide
useful information to use as a basis for such strategic
document. This report aims to highlight opportunities to
further develop Togo’s digital economy with a special focus
on policies that can bridge the digital divide and help Togo
achieve the DE4A targets. This report aims to provide
practical and actionable recommendations that inform
decision makers on priority areas for development. |
