The Togolese government is implementing initiatives to expand access to essential civil documentation and modernize administrative services.

To facilitate the issuance of national identity cards, the Directorate General of National Documentation (DGDN) has deployed mobile teams to public gatherings, such as the Foire Adjafi in Lomé. This strategy aims to bring services directly to the population to meet a government goal of ensuring most citizens possess identity cards by 2028.

Additionally, a joint effort between the Ministry of Solidarity, Gender, Family and Child Protection and the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights has launched a campaign to provide free nationality certificates to 4,200 female students across seven educational regions. This program seeks to secure the academic and professional futures of young women by providing the documentation necessary for national exams, university enrollment, and formal employment. While a digital platform for nationality certificates has processed over 179,000 applications since 2024, authorities continue to address challenges regarding document delivery from certain prefectures.
