The Secretary General of the Presidency of the Togolese Republic, Ablamba Johnson, last week officially launched the Project for the Harmonization and Improvement of Statistics in West Africa (PHASAO) .Financed by the World Bank to the tune of 30 million dollars for Togo, including 15 million in loans and 15 million in the form of a grant, the PHASAO aims to improve and modernize national statistics. Seven countries in the West African subregion (Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Ivory Coast, Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Togo) are concerned by the project

This five-year project will also increase performance in the production and dissemination of National Statistical System (SNN) data. In addition, it will contribute to better implementation of the government roadmap (2020-2025), which takes into account development action priorities in order to make Togo a country of cohesion, peace and a modern nation with inclusive and sustainable economic growth.”
