Togo has implemented several initiatives:
- a Conseil des Togolais de l’étranger (Council of Togolese Abroad),
- a Fonds d’investissement pour la diaspora (FITEX) or Diaspora Investment Fund,
- a Portail numérique d’information (Digital Information Portal), and
- visa exemption for people with dual citizenship.
These efforts aim to boost engagement with the diaspora, however, they are hindered by a persistent legal void.
Dual citizenship could present a unique opportunity for Togo, offering economic benefits, cultural enrichment and a vital connection with the diaspora. However, in order to realise these benefits, the relevant laws must be clarified and the procedures simplified.. It can be added that the complete reintegration of numerous diaspora Togolese citizens depends on changing the political and social perception of dual citizenship .
