Togo : A mobile-based solution to improve access to clean water in rural areas

(Togo First) - Soon, a mobile-based service will allow Togo’s population to a have continuous access to drinking water. This solution was developed under SOFIE, a program aimed at enabling populations to rapidly signal any failure of water wells. This would in turn ensure a better management of the wells.

In this regard, the government has put in place with its development partners, a large program for the installation of wells and boreholes. In effect, more than seven thousand pump boreholes and 305 supply systems were installed under the program.

However, failures at the installations were not rapidly reported, as a result they would stay months non-operational, thus explaining the need for SOFIE.
