We can mention navigation through mobile GIS application, map production, Geoportal deployment and others.

This presentation will show how OSM was useful in this country-scale mapping project.
As part of the implementation of Togo’s Government roadmap 2025, it is planned to implement, among other initiatives, the project to map the social and economic infrastructure of municipalities and districts of the country. The final goal of this mapping project is to develop tools for analysis, management and optimisation of decision-making based on geospatial technologies and data for the central administration, technical services of the State and local authorities.
