For the past two years, Togo has seized development opportunities in the health and economic sectors by adopting innovative social policy strategies.

Faure Gnassingbé, Head of State of the Togolese Republic, has launched a strategy to combat the virus that takes into account the international effort to contain it, with the deployment of digital tools such as the Covid-19 digital vaccination certificate issued by Togo and recognised by the European Union, or the development of the Novissi platform to offset the socio-economic inequalities accentuated by the pandemic.

Despite a general reluctance to accept the restrictions linked to the Health Pass, the Togolese population has rapidly adhered to the vaccination campaign launched on 10 March 2021, reinforced by an order of several million doses to the African Union's African Vaccine Acquisition Trust (Avat) and to international laboratories.

The strategies put in place to ensure security and economic sustainability in Togo have now paid off, as the country has one of the highest vaccination rates in the sub-region. As a signatory and political coordinator of the Lomé Initiative, Togo confirms its commitment to health and security in Africa.
