Togo’s economy is based on agriculture (cotton, coffee), mining (phosphates), and trade due to its strategic location. Government policies emphasize infrastructure development and attracting foreign investment, but progress is hindered by corruption and bureaucracy. Regulatory frameworks are improving but remain weak, particularly in land and environmental management. Society faces high poverty and unemployment, despite economic growth. Education access is improving, with efforts to align training with market needs. Climate risks, including deforestation and flooding, threaten agriculture and biodiversity. Healthcare systems are underfunded, with limited access in rural areas.
