(Togo First) - The technical and financial rates of implementation of reforms initiated by Togolese ministries and public institutions reached 47% and 28%, respectively, in the first half of this year. The figures were disclosed last Thursday, August 17, by Affo Tchitchi Dedji, permanent secretary in charge of monitoring the country’s reform strategy and financial programs.
The official revealed the statistics during a special meeting to assess the reforms’ implementation level. The meeting also aimed at initiating talks, identifying roadblocks to the implementation, and finding ways to accelerate it.
On the occasion, the result-based management method adopted by Togo three years ago was discussed. According to the officials present, additional steps are taken to support the method, in collaboration with Technical and Financial Partners. Affo Tchitchi Dedji, in this regard, assured that the reforms would continue being assessed, regularly, and improved upon to deliver optimal results by the end of 2023.
The meeting was opened by Akou Mawussé Afidenyigba, cabinet director of the Ministry of Economy and Finance. "These reforms notably affect the public finance management system, agriculture, health, education, digital, land, environment, decentralization, employment, and social sectors with a particular focus on private sector development. These reforms, which are aligned with the vision of the Head of State, have made it possible, among other things, to improve the functioning and performance of all socio-economic sectors, and to maintain a sound macroeconomic and budgetary framework, despite the various shocks recorded," said the official cited by the ATOP. He took the opportunity to remind that major reforms had already been launched, with success, across various economic sectors, to boost Togo’s economic growth.
