Technical assistance for the energy sector support programme in Togo (PASET) — phase 1 (2017-2022)
Access to energy and especially to a reliable, affordable electricity service, is a condition for sustainable economic development and poverty reduction. The population's access to energy in Togo was limited to 30% in 2014. For the same year, the level of technical (on networks) and non-technical loss was around 18%. This project aims to help face these challenges. Its overall objective is to contribute to reducing poverty by fostering the achievement of the objectives of the Sustainable Energy for All initiative (SE4All). The specific objective is to improve the living conditions of Togo's populations by working towards improved access to modern, sustainable energy services and helping to improve the sector's institutional framework to facilitate future investments, including from the private sector.
The technical assistance to the PASET-1 programme is organised around two main pillars:
1) improvement of the institutional framework of Togo's electricity sector;
2) capacity building of the main energy actors.
