Togo

Togo faces substantial readiness constraints across core dimensions. Its weakest results are in Human Capital (54, 27th percentile), Infrastructure (47, 18th percentile), GEFRI Composite (38, 21st percentile), Innovation (32, 23rd percentile) and School Access and Gender Parity (22, 24th percentile). These gaps continue to weigh on overall readiness.

Uneven scores across dimensions show where readiness conditions are less aligned. Limited electricity or internet coverage still constrains classrooms, preventing large-scale digital instruction. Literacy or tertiary enrollment gaps thin the talent pipeline and limit the country’s capacity to develop future-ready skills.

Sparse R&D investment and a small research workforce slow experimentation and delay new ideas from reaching learners. Policy execution and regulatory capacity remain weak, leaving reforms fragmented and hard to sustain. Gender parity leans toward boys in secondary pathways, signalling persistent barriers for girls.

Regionally, Togo leads most clearly in Human Capital, sitting well above the peer average.
