About the Program

The Government of Togo is on a mission to 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 people will be critical in accelerating the digitalization of administrative procedures in Togo and assist in the monitoring and implementation of digitalization projects within the various MDAs.

The young talents will be trained in English, IT project management and product lifecycle management, etc.

This program aims to strengthen the digital skills of government employees and contribute to the development and employability of new talents.

Key Responsibilities of a Digital Ambassador

Digital Ambassadors are expected to make a significant contribution to the digital transformation of government agencies, and in particular to the digitalization of administrative procedures: Their role will be to:

1

Support the implementation of the Public Services Digitalization Acceleration Plan (PAD).

2

Participate and Oversee additional digitization and digitalization efforts within their respective ministries.

3

Support the implementation of the digital skills enhancement program for public service employees to be deployed over the upcoming months.

The African Leadership University (ALU) Development Program

In order to ensure that Digital Ambassadors acquire best practices in IT project management, product management, and leadership, and excel in their roles within public administrations, the African Leadership University (ALU) equips the ambassadors with the necessary skills and mindset for success through a 14-month program.

This initiative is led by the Ministry of Digital Economy and Digital Transformation (MENTD), implemented through the Togo Digital Agency (ATD) with the support of ProDigiT, a project carried out by GIZ Togo and co-financed by Germany and the European Union in Togo.
