Join a dynamic team of young professionals shaping the
future of Togo’s digital landscape.
The Government of Togo is on a mission to fully digitalize its government services across all ministries, departments, and agencies (MDAs). To drive this initiative, the Ministry of Digital Economy and Digital Transformation is launching the Togo Digital Ambassador Program to recruit 80 talented and tech-savvy youth to lead the charge. As Digital Ambassadors, these young leaders will be critical in accelerating Togo’s digital transformation by driving key digitalization projects within various MDAs.
Digital Ambassadors will be at the forefront of Togo’s digital revolution. They will be responsible for:
Coordinating the implementation of the Public Services Digitalization Acceleration Plan (PAD).
Overseeing additional digitization and digitalization efforts within their respective ministries.
Managing training, communication, and change management initiatives.
Playing a central role in the continuous modernization of internal information systems.
Proactively identifying, reporting, and addressing risks to ensure project success.
Digital Ambassadors will report directly to the Minister for strategic direction. In cases where the Minister is unavailable, they will liaise with the Chief of Staff, the Secretary General, or designated personnel. Additionally, Ambassadors will receive technical support from the Togo Digital Agency and collaborate with the IT Department to align digital initiatives with the Ministry’s broader strategic vision. Daily activity reports will be shared with the Minister and the Togo Digital Agency.
To ensure that Digital Ambassadors excel in their roles and beyond, the Ministry has partnered with The African Leadership University (ALU) to design a comprehensive development program that equips ambassadors with the necessary skills and mindset for success.
Digital Ambassadors will undergo an English proficiency assessment. Based on the results, some ambassadors may take part in ALU's English Immersion Program, delivered asynchronously with faculty office hours.
Drawing from ALU’s renowned Leadership Core program, this training module will develop leadership skills and be delivered asynchronously, with faculty support.
Delivered by an ALU faculty expert, this module will focus on user discovery, problem-solving, and iterative solution delivery. It will be a blend of synchronous and asynchronous learning.
A series of virtual modules will enhance Ambassadors' skills in managing and executing key projects within their MDAs.
Small groups of ambassadors will receive monthly coaching sessions with an assigned product coach to refine their product management skills and application in real-world scenarios.
Ambassadors will have the option to specialize based on their roles, interests, and career goals during the later stages of the program.
