| Summary: | The main objective of this sector work
(ESW) is to provide the World Bank and the Government of
Togo with a sound basis and proposals for decision-making
about the main electricity sub-sector issues facing the
country. The ESW therefore assesses the key challenges
facing the sub-sector and provides information, analysis and
recommendations regarding: 1) the overall energy policy and
strategy framework; 2) the institutional and regulatory
framework including the necessary reforms within the context
of Togo's regional undertakings; 3) the electricity
demand and supply balance including access to electricity
services; 4) electricity tariffing; 5) the investment
program and the financing requirements; and 6) the
utility's financial situation and the sub-sector
financial outlook. The review also summarizes
recommendations addressing the key issues facing Togo's
electricity sub-sector. Togo will need to confront several
constraints to promote economic recovery and reduce poverty.
Weak public sector capacity has become the Government's
most pressing challenge and is hampering the country's
ability to manage the rapidly expanding portfolio of
projects funded by the donors, including by the World Bank
Group and the private sector. While the private
sector's contribution to economic growth is vital,
Togo's business climate is poor and skills available on
the market are not adapted to the demand. This report is
based on the information provided, discussions with
officials during the April 10-13, 2012 mission to Lome,
exchanges with World Bank staff, as well as on the recent
reports on Togo's energy sector. |
