Over the past two decades, and despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Togo has experienced sustained economic growth, resulting in reduced poverty and improved access to basic needs. New services and industrial activities are emerging, and investments in port infrastructure have solidified Togo’s role as a key trade corridor in West Africa. However, challenges remain, including limited diversification in production and trade and relatively low productivity levels. This report outlines strategic pathways to overcome these challenges by emphasising the promotion of investment, innovation, and integration through the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA); enhanced support from international partners; and greater accountability within the private sector. The review is the result of a collaborative effort among several international organisations, the Togolese government, the private sector, and international counterparts from Viet Nam and Mauritius.
