First, we have learned and drawn lessons from the implementation of the National Development Plan (NDP) 2018-2022 and the encouraging results achieved by our country in recent years. Second, it is clear that the great ambitions stemming from the commitments made by the Head of State, His Excellency Mr. Faure Essozimna Gnassingb\u00e9, to the population must now guide our actions. The last element was the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, which has affected all areas and spared no country in the world.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); background-color: var(--base-3);\">The government roadmap 2020 \u2013 2025 therefore made it possible to adjust the integrated national vision by putting\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); background-color: var(--base-3);\">the emphasis on greater efficiency in the conduct of public action, the pursuit of reforms and the acceleration of the achievement of results for the benefit of the Togolese people. It has been structured in a very focused perspective, broken down into coherent strategic axes and is based on the vision of a &quot;Togo at peace, a modern nation with inclusive and sustainable economic growth&quot;.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); background-color: var(--base-3);\">The first axis aims to strengthen inclusion, social harmony and consolidate peace. This desired inclusion is three-dimensional: social, economic and financial. It will: strengthen the capacities and resilience of communities in the face of exogenous shocks, facilitate their access to basic social services and strengthen their financial autonomy. The objective is to reduce inequalities by enabling the greatest number of Togolese to integrate.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); background-color: var(--base-3);\">in the economic and social fabric of our country. The emphasis is thus placed on human capital by placing people at the heart of development. Also, there is the urgent need to continue to ensure security, peace and justice for all. The second axis of our roadmap focuses on the creation of wealth and jobs by relying on our strengths which are: a country with a geostrategic position, a dynamic youth, an entrepreneurial and reforming country, an agile and innovative country, a sustainable and inclusive country.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); background-color: var(--base-3);\">The modernization and attractiveness of agriculture, the largest contributor to GDP (40%), remain major challenges to be met. This ambition is at the heart of economic development and remains the foundation of Togo&#039;s industrial transformation. Finally, the strong logistics capabilities offered by our port constitute an important source of wealth creation which, if well exploited, strengthens Togo&#039;s position as\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); background-color: var(--base-3);\">a hub for the West African sub-region.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); background-color: var(--base-3);\">Through the third strategic axis, we aim to modernize our country, notably by digitizing processes and services. Modernizing the country and strengthening its structures aims to support the development momentum. Returning to the coronavirus pandemic, it has of course affected our development momentum. But we have been able to resist and are already in the recovery phase. Thanks to the scale of the diversity and the agility of our actions, Togo ended 2020 with 1.81% growth in a context of widespread economic decline.<br \/><\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); background-color: var(--base-3);\">Also, the crisis has not prevented us from demonstrating that we can be ambitious even in the midst of a health crisis!

This is why, in light of the increasingly worrying security threat in the sub-region, we must accelerate responses to the vital needs of the population, as it is a matter of continuing to reduce social disparities.

This platform will accelerate the emergence of new manufacturing industries with high potential for local employment.

Thanks to these programs, we have been able to create over a period of 5 years a little over 700,000 jobs for young people in the production and agro-industry sectors (soybeans, rice, corn, cassava, etc.): this has enabled Togo to become the leading African exporter of organic soybeans to Europe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight ); background-color: var(--base-3);\">The result is simply edifying.
