Focus of the Role:
Togo’s economic growth has been sustained in recent years and shows signs of acceleration (3.9% between 2007 and 2013, and 5.6% between 2013 and 2015). This growth was largely supported by an active policy of public investment that contributed to the development of the country’s infrastructure. However, key sectors of the economy continue to face challenges that hinder structural transformation and industrial development.
To answer this, Togo’s new National Development Plan 2018-2022 focuses on three key areas: 1) setting up an excellence logistics hub and world-class business centre, 2) developing agricultural processing, manufacturing and extractive industries, and 3) consolidating social development and strengthening mechanisms for inclusion. Togo aims to achieve its ambition through the implementation of flagship projects with high potential for large-scale job creation and the predominant involvement of the private sector.
Since 2017, TBI has helped establish and train high-performing teams within Government, including a Presidential Delivery Unit to fast-track the implementation of flagship projects, an Investment Promotion Unit to convert investor interest into job-creating projects, and a Doing Business Unit to expedite business environment reforms and unlock the potential of the private sector. Our model in Togo notably includes the recruitment and development of young local talents to grow the next generation of Togo’s public sector leaders.
The Country Head role is one of the most important in the TBI Governance pillar: it provides leadership and management to the respective Project, sets and delivers project goals, maintains relations with top counterparts in partner governments, up to and including the Prime Minister’s office, manages the project budget and impact work, and provides the link between the Project team and the rest of the organisation. The key competencies that we look for in our leaders are set out below within the duties:
