Togo updates social action strategy, amid rising poverty

(Togo First) - Last month, the ministry for social action, the promotion of women and literacy, updated the national social action strategy (PNAS). This was at a validation workshop organized with the support of partners such as UNICEF. 

The update aims at tackling the poverty level, which has risen in Togo over the last decade, as well as foster decentralization. It aligns with the national development plan’s third axis (focused on social improvements). 

According to the general directorate for social action: “Many projects fall under the updated strategy, all of which are similar to those planned in the framework of the national development plan.” Such projects include the social security net systems and the money transfer project for vulnerable populations. 

The document, let’s emphasize, however, still has to be adopted by the ministers’ council before being effective.
