PREAMBLE: DIRECTDEMOCRACY'S MESSAGE TO THE TOGOLESE PEOPLE

Dear Togolese citizens, this program is not just another election manifesto, written by politicians who promise everything and deliver nothing. This program is something radically different, fundamentally new, and profoundly honest. It is a concrete, detailed, verifiable, and functional tool, built for you by a system that places every human being at the center of all decisions, all policies, and all real power.

DirectDemocracyS (DDS) is the first truly global direct democracy system, operating simultaneously in every country in the world. It is not a political party. It is not an NGO. It is not just another international organization imposing its policies from the outside. DDS is a system collectively owned by all its official members, with each member holding a single, non-transferable share, ensuring that no one—no individual, no group, no country—can ever seize control of the system or hijack it.

DDS acknowledges, with clarity and without complacency, the true situation in Togo: a country governed for 58 years by the same family, where the people have been deprived of their fundamental right to freely choose their leaders, where natural resources are unequally distributed, where poverty persists despite statistical growth, and where fundamental freedoms are routinely repressed. DDS does not ignore these realities. It confronts them and proposes concrete, peaceful, intelligent, and effective solutions.

THE ESSENCE OF DDS

DDS does not ask the Togolese people to trust a leader, a party, or a savior. DDS gives the Togolese people the tools to govern themselves directly, continuously, with all the necessary information, with the support of the most advanced technologies (ddsAI, allddsAI), and by protecting every citizen against all manipulation, brainwashing, and propaganda.

This program covers all essential areas: political governance, the economy, public finances, the social system, education, health, agriculture, energy, the environment, security, culture, and much more. For each area, we honestly analyze the current situation, accurately identify the real problems, and propose concrete solutions with practical examples and foreseeable consequences.

 

PART I: CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE CURRENT SITUATION IN TOGO

1.1 HISTORICAL AND POLITICAL CONTEXT: 58 YEARS OF POWER CONFISCATION

1.1.1 The Gnassingbé Dynasty: An Unconsented Legacy of Power

Togo has been governed by the same family since the military coup of January 13, 1963, during which Gnassingbé Eyadéma participated in the assassination of the first elected president, Sylvanus Olympio. Since then, and continuing to this day in 2026, this system has maintained a position that prioritizes the continued power of a single family over the democratic rights of the Togolese people.

Gnassingbé Eyadéma ruled Togo with an iron fist from 1967 until his death in 2005, a period of absolute power spanning 38 years. Upon his death, in flagrant violation of the Constitution, which stipulated that the interim presidency should be assumed by the Speaker of the National Assembly, the army immediately installed his son, Faure Gnassingbé, as president. Under international pressure, Faure briefly relinquished power before winning elections marred by serious irregularities in April 2005, triggering violence that left hundreds dead.

1.1.2 The Constitutional Coup of 2024: The Final Confiscation

In March-April 2024, the Togolese parliament—composed of members whose terms had expired in December 2023 and who lacked renewed legitimacy—adopted a constitutional amendment by a vote of 87 to 0, establishing the Fifth Republic and transforming the country into a parliamentary system. The text of the amendments had not even been made public before the vote.

This constitutional reform was not submitted to a popular referendum, in direct violation of the constitutional obligation. Its practical effects were: firstly, to eliminate the right of citizens to directly elect the President of the Republic; secondly, to create the position of President of the Council of Ministers—whose holder is drawn from the majority party in parliament and is not subject to any term limits; and thirdly, to offer Faure Gnassingbé, through the mechanism of the new parliamentary system, the possibility of remaining in power indefinitely without ever facing a direct popular vote.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS: The Election Without a Vote

The parliamentary elections of April 2024 were won overwhelmingly by UNIR (Gnassingbé's party), whose police and army are considered closely linked. The Catholic Church, which plays a central role in Togolese society, was prevented from observing the elections. In May 2025, parliament elected Faure Gnassingbé as President of the Council of Ministers—head of government with full executive powers—without any popular vote. The people Togolese did not summer consulted .

1.1.3 Systematic Repression: Prisons, Violence, Fear

The repression of opponents, journalists, activists, and ordinary citizens who express dissent is documented by numerous international human rights organizations, including Amnesty International. Peaceful demonstrations have been violently suppressed, notably those of June 2025, which resulted in at least seven deaths according to available reports, and led to dozens of arbitrary arrests. Political prisoners have languished in Togolese jails for years. Activists are arrested for posting poems on Facebook. Journalists are sentenced to heavy fines and banned from publishing for mentioning members of the presidential family.

The Togolese army is composed of 70% members of the Kabye ethnic group—the same ethnic group as Gnassingbé—even though this group represents only 13% of the population. This deliberate ethnic composition of the army makes it an instrument for maintaining power rather than a national force serving all citizens.

1.1.4 Corruption and Financial Opacity

Of the 46 state-owned enterprises identified in 2020, only 20 appeared in the official reports in 2022, without any explanation. Entire ministries refuse to cooperate with the Court of Auditors. Financial mismanagement and corruption are documented and virtually institutionalized. The country's resources—phosphates, farmland, the port of Lomé—generate revenues that do not benefit the entire population equitably.

1.2 ECONOMIC SITUATION: STATISTICAL GROWTH, REAL POVERTY

1.2.1 Official Figures and Their Hidden Reality

Official statistics present an encouraging picture: GDP growth of 5.3% in 2024, with forecasts of 5.5% in 2026. The government's "Togo 2025" roadmap sets ambitious goals: to make Togo a regional logistics hub, industrialize the economy, and accelerate phosphate processing. The port of Lomé is indeed one of the busiest in West Africa.

But behind these figures, the daily reality for the vast majority of Togolese is radically different. According to Afrobarometer , the majority of the Togolese population lives in severe poverty. Agriculture employs 65% of the workforce but generates only 40% of GDP and fails to ensure food self-sufficiency. The trade balance is structurally in deficit. Inequalities between urban and rural areas are worsening.

1.2.2 Debt and External Dependence

Togo's public debt reached 72.1% of GDP in 2024, compared to 62.2% in 2020. The budget deficit stood at 6.4% of GDP in 2024. Togo is heavily dependent on external financing: a $390 million, 3.5-year IMF program signed in March 2024, as well as funding from the World Bank, the African Development Bank, and the French Development Agency (AFD). This chronic dependence on external creditors significantly reduces the country's real economic sovereignty.

1.2.3 The Vulnerable Economic Structure

The Togolese economy rests on three main pillars: phosphates (Togo is one of the world's leading producers), the port of Lomé (transit trade), and subsistence agriculture. This structure is extremely vulnerable to external shocks: fluctuations in global phosphate prices, droughts, and regional instability. Private investment remains low, foreign direct investment (FDI) has been declining since 2020, and the industrial sector is very underdeveloped.

1.2.4 The Security Threat in the North

Northern Togo has been facing increasing terrorist attacks for several years, resulting in massive population displacements and an increase in military spending to 4.2% of GDP in 2023. This insecurity is destroying economic activities in the affected regions, hindering agricultural development, generating additional pressure on the state budget, and keeping an already vulnerable population in a situation of aggravated distress.

1.3 SOCIAL SITUATION: DEEP INEQUALITIES

1.3.1 Education: Results Far From Objectives

The Togolese education system suffers from serious structural deficiencies: a shortage of qualified teachers, schools in poor condition, a high dropout rate, especially in rural areas, inadequate quality of teaching, and a mismatch between training and labor market needs. While primary school enrollment rates have improved, students' actual learning outcomes remain low, and access to secondary and higher education remains highly unequal.

1.3.2 Health: A Fragile and Unequal System

The Togolese healthcare system lacks doctors, nurses, infrastructure, and medicines, especially outside of Lomé. Maternal and infant mortality rates remain high. Access to care is contingent on patients' financial means in a country where the vast majority of the population lives in poverty. Universal health insurance does not exist in an effective and accessible form for all.

1.3.3 Employment: Massive Unemployment, Especially Among Young People

Togo has a young population—over 60% are under 25. But the formal sector is unable to absorb the hundreds of thousands of young people entering the job market each year. The informal economy accounts for the vast majority of actual employment. This situation creates enormous social frustration, an exodus to neighboring countries or to Europe, and a young population gripped by despair—fertile ground for extremist recruitment.

1.3.4 Gender and Women's Rights

Togolese women, who represent more than half of the agricultural workforce, still face significant legal and social discrimination in access to land, education, credit, healthcare, and political participation. Gender-based violence remains a structural problem that is insufficiently addressed by public authorities.

1.3.5 Environment: An Extreme Vulnerability

Togo ranks 135th out of 181 countries on the ND Gain Climate Vulnerability Index. Deforestation, coastal erosion, agricultural land degradation, and extreme weather events (droughts, floods) directly impact the living conditions of rural populations. Without a coherent and ambitious environmental policy, the effects of climate change will further exacerbate inequality and poverty.

1.4 SUMMARY: WHAT NEEDS TO CHANGE

An honest and comprehensive analysis of the Togolese situation leads to several unavoidable conclusions, which DDS presents without hesitation:

• Togo is governed by an authoritarian regime that has confiscated the democratic power of the people through illegitimate institutional means (constitutional amendment without referendum, parliamentary election without popular vote).
• Economic growth, although real in the statistics, does not benefit the vast majority of the population equitably, due to poor governance, corruption and an overly concentrated economic structure.
• The fundamental rights of Togolese citizens — freedom of expression, freedom of assembly, freedom of the press, right to a fair trial — are regularly violated.
• The social system is inadequate: education, health, and social protection remain below the real needs of the population.
• The security situation in the North is exacerbating poverty and population displacement.
• The environment is deteriorating without a coherent protection policy.

CONCLUSION OF THE ANALYSIS

The solution cannot come from a change of elites within the same system. The solution must be structural, systemic, and restore to every Togolese citizen the real and permanent power to decide for themselves, for their community, for their country. This is precisely what DirectDemocracyS proposes .

 

PART II: THE DirectDemocracyS SYSTEM — HOW IT WORKS IN TOGO

2.1 DDS'S PHILOSOPHY AND CORE VALUES

DirectDemocracyS is founded on principles that are both universal in scope and radical in their actual application. These principles are not mere statements of intent: they are embedded in the technical, organizational, and legal architecture of the system itself, in such a way that no individual, group, or external power can circumvent or eliminate them.

2.1.1 The Absolute Sovereignty of the People

At DDS, sovereignty belongs to the Togolese people absolutely, permanently, and exclusively. In concrete terms, this means: Togo's natural resources (phosphates, land, water, biodiversity) belong to the Togolese people and not to the State or its leaders; the power to make decisions for Togo belongs solely to Togolese citizens who are members of the DDS system; and no major decision affecting the lives of the Togolese people can be made without their direct and explicit consent.

2.1.2 Non-Transferable Collective Property

Each official member of DDS owns exactly one share of the system, which is non-transferable, non-assignable, and non-cumulative. This rule makes it mathematically impossible for power to be concentrated in the hands of any one individual or group. It guarantees that DDS can never be bought, captured, or diverted by private interests or outside powers.

2.1.3 Fractal Governance by Micro-Groups

The basic organizational unit of DDS is the microgroup : a set of 6 to 12 members (ideally 10) who know each other, trust each other, and make decisions together at the local level. These microgroups are grouped into larger groups, then into supergroups , megagroups, and finally into national and global levels, forming a fractal structure where each level is directly connected to the levels above and below. This architecture ensures that every citizen has a direct voice at all levels of decision-making.

2.1.4 Neutral, Complete and Independent Information

DDS recognizes that genuine democracy is impossible without truly free, neutral, and comprehensive information. That is why the system has its own independent information technologies—ddsAI and allddsAI—which provide members and groups with complete, accurate, neutral information protected against external manipulation. These platforms operate outside of any government or commercial control, ensuring that Togolese citizens can access the reality of their situation without filters or propaganda.

2.2 HOW DDS ESTABLISHES ITSELF IN TOGO

2.2.1 The Micro-Group Strategy in an Authoritarian Context

Togo is governed by a regime that controls traditional media, represses public demonstrations, and arrests opponents. In this context, DDS adopts a radically different approach from traditional opposition movements: organization into decentralized micro-groups , invisible to the authorities in their initial phases, and self-protected by their very structure.

In practice, in Togo, the implementation of DDS begins with the creation of micro-groups of 10 people who know and trust each other—extended families, professional networks, religious groups, community associations. These micro-groups do not need government authorization. They do not organize public demonstrations. They organize, train, debate, and make decisions on DDS's secure digital platforms, protected against all surveillance and infiltration.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLE

A concrete example from Togo: a group of 10 teachers in Kara created a DDS micro-group . They registered on the platform, received their training (via ddsAI, in French and local languages), and began discussing the problems in their community. They elected a representative from among themselves for the next level of the group. Their decisions and proposals traveled through the fractal structure to the national level. Gradually, other micro-groups were created in their neighborhood, their city, their region, until DDS represented a sufficient critical mass to peacefully transform Togolese society.

2.2.2 Member Safety and Protection

DDS fully understands the real risks faced by Togolese citizens who organize politically in the current context. That is why the system incorporates several levels of protection: DDS platforms use state-of-the-art encryption technologies; members' personal data is protected and never transmitted to third parties; micro-groups can operate semi-anonymously in the initial phases; and security protocols are adapted to the risk level of each national context.

2.2.3 AI Democracy: allddsAI

One of DDS's most revolutionary innovations is the allddsAI system: a true democracy of artificial intelligences, where multiple AIs—with different orientations and data—debate and synthesize their analyses to provide members with truly neutral and comprehensive information. In Togo, this means that every member can access verified and balanced information on any topic affecting their life and country, in their own language (French, Ewe, Kabiyè, Tem, and other local languages).

2.2.4 Specialists and the NTCO

DDS has a structure of internal specialist groups—experts in all fields (economics, medicine, law, engineering, agriculture, etc.)—who are members of the system and contribute their expertise to collective decision-making. The NTCO (National Technical Coordination Office) in Togo will coordinate local and international technical expertise for the implementation of the national program. This structure ensures that decisions made democratically by the people are technically sound and realistic.

2.2.5 The GUMI-SV and the Three-Level Identity Code

The Global User Identity Verification and Management System (GUMI-SV) guarantees that each member is a real person living in the country concerned, with no possibility of duplicate accounts. The three-level identity code simultaneously ensures secure member identification, protects their privacy, and tracks their votes and decisions within the system. In Togo, this system will, for the first time, guarantee truly verifiable and tamper-proof votes and popular consultations.

2.3 THE DDS DEPLOYMENT PROGRAMME IN TOGO

Phase 1: Foundation and Rooting (Month 1 - Month 18)

1. Recruitment of the first Togolese founding members — committed citizens, professionals, young people, women, representatives from all regions and communities.
2. Intensive training via ddsAI in French and local languages: Ewe (South), Kabiyè (North), Tem (Central), Gurma (Northeast), and other local languages.
3. Formation of the first micro-groups in each prefecture of Togo (45 prefectures × at least 1 initial micro-group = 45 founding micro-groups , representing a minimum of 450 members).
4. Establishment of NTCO-Togo with Togolese specialists from all fields.
5. Launch of the Togolese version of the secure DDS platforms, accessible from computers and mobile phones (including on low bandwidth connections, taking into account the reality of the Togolese network).

Phase 2: Expansion and Visibility (Month 19 – Month 48)

6. Objective: to reach 100,000 active members in all regions of Togo, with a balanced representation of men/women, urban/rural, and all ethnic groups.
7. First internal DDS referendums on national priorities: Togolese members vote on the projects and policies to defend as a priority.
8. Development of a strong public presence: DDS becomes a recognized and respected force in Togolese civil society.
9. Engagement with international institutions (UN, AU, ECOWAS) for the recognition of DDS status and the protection of its members.

Phase 3: Democratic Transformation (Month 49 and beyond)

10. With a critical mass representative of Togolese society, DDS represents an unavoidable force for peaceful transformation.
11. Presentation of DDS candidates for all available elections, based on the national program detailed in this document.
12. Gradual implementation of reforms as soon as DDS members take on institutional responsibilities.
13. The ultimate goal: a Togo where every important political decision is subject to a direct vote by DDS member citizens, in a fully transparent and verifiable system.

 

PART III: POLITICAL PROGRAMME — REBUILDING TOGOLESE DEMOCRACY

3.1 COMPLETE POLICY DIAGNOSIS

The current Togolese political system suffers from fundamental flaws that cannot be corrected by mere cosmetic reforms. These flaws are structural and systemic .

• Lack of genuine democracy: since 2024, Togolese citizens no longer directly elect the head of state. Executive power is held by the President of the Council, appointed by the majority party in parliament, without term limits.
• Partisan control of all institutions: the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) is perceived by the opposition as not independent; the army is ethnically unbalanced in favor of the president's ethnic group; the judiciary is not independent of the government.
• Repression of the opposition: opposition parties are struggling to organize in the face of imposed restrictions and the repression of their activists.
• Lack of effective press freedom: journalists who criticize the government face legal prosecution, ruinous fines, threats and arrests.
• Institutional corruption: opacity in the management of public finances and state-owned enterprises is documented and chronic.

3.2 DDS POLICY PROGRAMME: CONCRETE PROPOSALS

3.2.1 Constitutional Reform by Popular Referendum

DDS proposes that any major constitutional amendment be subject to a mandatory popular referendum, requiring a qualified majority (at least 60% of votes cast with a quorum of at least 50% of registered voters). The Constitution must explicitly protect the right of every citizen to directly elect the head of state, to limit the executive branch's powers in terms of term, and to recall its representatives in cases of serious misconduct.

3.2.2 Permanent Direct Democracy

The DDS system introduces a permanent direct democracy to Togo: citizen members do not simply vote every four or five years in elections, but participate continuously in important decisions. Every major bill, every significant budget decision, every important international agreement is submitted to a direct vote by DDS members before being defended by their representatives in the institutions.

DIRECT DEMOCRACY IN ACTION

Concrete example: The Togolese government is considering signing a mining agreement with a multinational corporation. In the current system, this decision is made by the presidential cabinet without public consultation. In the DDS system, Togolese members receive comprehensive and unbiased information about the agreement (via ddsAI/allddsAI), debate it in their micro-groups , and vote directly. If the majority opposes the agreement or requests modifications, DDS representatives in parliament or the government are mandated to defend this position. The people decided really .

3.2.3 Independence Real Justice

DDS proposes a profound reform of the Togolese judicial system: appointment of magistrates by an elected independent council, irremovability of judges, prohibition of interventions by the executive branch in judicial proceedings, creation of a truly independent Constitutional Court whose members are elected by citizens from among jurists recognized for their integrity.

3.2.4 Complete Electoral Reform

DDS proposes: restoration of direct universal suffrage for the election of the head of state; profound reform of the CENI to guarantee its real independence (members elected by civil society, single term mandate, own budget not subject to the government); introduction of secure electronic voting via DDS platforms, with a verification system accessible to each voter; limitation to two non-renewable terms for all executive positions.

3.2.5 Freedom of the Press and Expression

DDS proposes: removal of all criminal provisions targeting journalists for their professional writings; creation of a truly independent High Council for Communication; public funding of community media in all languages of Togo; strengthened legal protection of whistleblowers; guaranteed access to public information (Open Data).

3.2.6 Reform of the Army and Security Forces

The Togolese army must reflect the country's ethnic and regional diversity. DDS proposes a gradual reform of military recruitment to rebalance ethnic representation, strengthened civilian control of the armed forces, training for law enforcement in human rights and non-violent policing techniques, and the creation of an independent oversight and complaints mechanism against abuses by the security forces.

3.2.7 Decentralization and Local Autonomy

DDS supports and expands upon the ten-year decentralization roadmap (2025-2034), but adds a direct participatory dimension absent from the current government project. Each Togolese municipality must have the right to decide its local budget, its development priorities, and to recall its local elected officials through a recall referendum. DDS micro-groups at the local level will be the instrument of this direct municipal democracy.

3.2.8 Respect and Protection of Traditions, Cultures, Languages and Religions

Togo is a country of extraordinary cultural richness: more than 40 ethnic groups, diverse living languages, precious ancestral traditions, and a historical coexistence of animist practices, Christianity, and Islam. DDS is committed to protecting and promoting this diversity, officially recognizing national languages in legal texts and education, guaranteeing equal treatment for all religious denominations, and systematically consulting traditional authorities on decisions affecting their communities.

 

PART IV: ECONOMIC PROGRAMME — BUILDING AN ECONOMY AT THE SERVICE OF THE TOGOLESE PEOPLE

4.1 ECONOMIC DIAGNOSIS

4.1.1 Existing Forces

Togo possesses real assets that are not being fully exploited for the benefit of the entire population. The port of Lomé is one of the few deep-water ports in West Africa, capable of accommodating large post- Panamax vessels , giving it a considerable regional logistical advantage. Togo is one of the world's leading producers of phosphates, an essential resource for the production of agricultural fertilizers worldwide. The country occupies a strategic geographical position between Ghana and Benin, with access to a vast continental hinterland (Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger).

4.1.2 Structural Weaknesses

Dependence on phosphates and transit trade creates vulnerability to external shocks. The agricultural sector, which employs the majority of the population, lacks mechanization, inputs, storage and processing infrastructure, and market access. Manufacturing is virtually nonexistent. The informal economy represents a considerable share of real activity but escapes taxation and social protections. The network of SMEs is weak and poorly financed.

4.2 DDS ECONOMIC PROGRAMME

4.2.1 Sovereignty over Natural Resources

DDS establishes as an inviolable principle that phosphates and all other Togolese natural resources belong entirely to the Togolese people. This implies: a review of all existing mining contracts to ensure they are fair and transparent, with just compensation for the State and local communities; a policy of local phosphate processing within Togo rather than exporting the raw material (for fertilizer and chemical production) to capture the added value; and the creation of a National Natural Resources Fund, managed in a completely transparent manner and subject to the direct control of DDS citizen members, which will distribute mining revenues equitably.

PHOSPHATES: FROM EXTRACTION TO PROCESSING

A concrete example: The Togolese Mining Company of Benin (CTMB) mines phosphates in Togo. Within the framework of Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS), Togolese members receive a comprehensive annual report (via ddsAI) on extracted volumes, selling prices, revenues generated, and their use. They vote directly on mining policy. A portion of the revenues is distributed directly to the municipalities whose lands are mined. Local processing is being progressively developed: in 10 years, Togo has transitioned from exporting raw phosphate to exporting finished fertilizers, increasing the value of its exports three- to fivefold.

4.2.2 Smart Industrialization and Diversification

DDS proposes a targeted and intelligent industrialization policy, based on Togo's real comparative advantages:

• Agro-industry: development of complete value chains for cotton, cocoa, coffee, soy, shea, tropical fruits — local processing, packaging, export of high value added products.
• African pharmaceutical industry: Togo can become a pharmaceutical production hub for West Africa, taking advantage of its port infrastructure and educable workforce.
• Green energy: massive development of solar photovoltaics (Togo benefits from exceptional sunshine), coastal wind power, and small hydropower in the mountainous areas of the north.
• Digital economy: Togo already has advantages in the digital sector (Togo Digital Strategy ); DDS proposes to make it a true African tech hub by creating digital free zones, and by massively training developers and digital entrepreneurs.
• Regional logistics hub: amplify the role of the port of Lomé and the Adétikopé Industrial Platform (PIA) to make it a true regional service center (logistics, transit, warehouses, international financial services).

4.2.3 Agriculture: From Subsistence to Prosperity

Agriculture employs 65% of Togolese people, yet the country has not achieved food self-sufficiency. This contradiction is unacceptable and avoidable. DDS proposes a Togolese agricultural revolution:

14. Progressive and accessible mechanization: creation of a National Agricultural Mechanization Program, with equipment cooperatives allowing small farmers to access modern machines without having to buy them individually.
15. Access to improved seeds and quality inputs: subsidized national distribution network, controlled by DDS member agricultural cooperatives.
16. Irrigation: Togo has usable watercourses for irrigation (Mono, Volta); a national irrigation program for strategic agricultural areas, particularly in the arid North, is essential.
17. Storage and processing: construction of community granaries, processing and transformation centers, to reduce post-harvest losses (currently estimated at 30-40%) and enable farmers to sell at the best price.
18. Fair markets and prices: DDS digital platform for direct connection between producers and buyers, eliminating intermediaries who capture value at the expense of farmers.
19. Modern agricultural training: a network of agricultural schools in each region, with programs adapted to local conditions and sustainable techniques.

CONCRETE IMPACT ON TOGOLESE FARMERS

Example: A farmer in the Savanes region cultivates sorghum on 2 hectares. Currently, he sells his produce to intermediaries who arbitrarily set the price. In the DDS system, he is a member of an agricultural cooperative linked to the DDS network. He has access to improved seeds and local fertilizer (produced in Togo from Togolese phosphates) at a subsidized price. The DDS digital platform provides him with real-time market prices. He stores his produce in the community granary until the most favorable time to sell. Estimated result: doubling of his agricultural income in 3 to 5 years.

4.2.4 SMEs and Entrepreneurship

DDS proposes: a public guarantee fund for loans to Togolese SMEs, enabling entrepreneurs without real estate guarantees to access bank credit; a national incubation program with physical centers in each regional capital and online resources via DDS; a radical simplification of business creation and management procedures (objective: business creation in 24 hours); a public procurement system reserving a minimum quota for Togolese SMEs in state tenders.

4.2.5 International Trade and Regional Integration

DDS supports genuine regional integration within the WAEMU and ECOWAS, but actively negotiates to ensure that regional and international trade agreements are fair to Togo. This includes: revising agreements that disadvantage Togo (particularly Economic Partnership Agreements that favor European imports at the expense of local industry); actively promoting high value-added Togolese exports; and developing intra-African trade (African Continental Free Trade Agreement – AfCFTA ).

 

PART V: FINANCIAL PROGRAMME — PUBLIC FINANCES AT THE SERVICE OF THE PEOPLE

5.1 FINANCIAL DIAGNOSIS

Togo's public finances exhibit significant structural weaknesses. Public debt is projected to reach 72.1% of GDP in 2024. The chronic budget deficit has fluctuated between 6% and 7% of GDP for several years. Tax revenues represent approximately 13-14% of GDP, well below the WAEMU standard (20%) and what would be necessary to finance a truly social welfare state. Corruption and the informal economy result in considerable resources escaping taxation.

5.2 DDS FINANCIAL PROGRAMME

5.2.1 Total Transparency and Citizen Control of Public Finances

DDS sets as a prerequisite and non-negotiable condition the total transparency of Togolese public finances. In concrete terms: real-time publication on platforms accessible to all citizens of all state revenues and expenditures; an independent annual audit of all public enterprises, published and accessible; direct voting by DDS members on major budget guidelines; continuous citizen oversight via the DDS platform, with the possibility for any member to ask questions on any budget line and receive a documented answer.

5.2.2 Mobilization of Internal Revenue

Togo must increase its domestic tax revenues to reduce its dependence on external financing. DDS proposes: a progressive tax reform that eases the burden on low-income earners and small businesses, while ensuring that large companies and the wealthiest individuals pay their fair share; a resolute fight against tax fraud and evasion, particularly in the mining sector and among large corporations; the digitalization of tax collection to reduce opportunities for corruption; and the gradual extension of tax coverage to the informal economy, with adapted, simplified regimes.

5.2.3 Debt Management

DDS proposes a debt management strategy that combines: renegotiating the most expensive debts (particularly high-interest domestic debt) to replace them with long-term concessional financing; a categorical refusal to contract new debts not subject to the approval of DDS member citizens; using available margins to prioritize financing productive investments (infrastructure, education, health) rather than operating expenses; and a medium-term objective of reducing public debt below 60% of GDP in 10 years.

5.2.4 Togolese Sovereign Wealth Fund

DDS proposes the creation of a Togolese Sovereign Wealth Fund, financed by a fixed and non-negotiable percentage of revenues from the exploitation of natural resources (primarily phosphates). This fund will be: managed by an elected independent board composed of recognized specialists and representatives of DDS citizen members; subject to an annual public audit; used exclusively to finance long-term investments of national interest and to build a stability reserve against external economic shocks; its constitution and operating rules will be protected by the Constitution.

5.2.5 Banking and Financial Sector Reform

DDS proposes: a reform of the Togolese banking sector to strengthen access to credit for SMEs and households; the development of ethical and transparent microfinance; the creation of a public development bank dedicated to priority agricultural and industrial projects identified by DDS members; the expansion of mobile banking (already well established in Togo with Flooz and T-Money) to include all rural populations in the formal financial system.

 

PART VI : SOCIAL PROGRAMME — A JUST AND UNITED TOGO FOR ALL

6.1 EDUCATION: THE ABSOLUTE PRIORITY

6.1.1 Diagnosis

Education is the essential driver of all sustainable development. In Togo, despite real progress in primary school enrollment, the education system suffers from: a chronic lack of qualified teachers (teacher/student ratio too high); insufficient and often dilapidated infrastructure; a curriculum ill-suited to the real needs of the economy; a high dropout rate, especially for girls in rural areas; and an insufficiently developed higher education system poorly aligned with market needs.

6.1.2 DDS Program for Education

• Truly free basic education (primary and secondary): elimination of all direct and indirect costs (uniforms, textbooks, transport for remote rural areas).
• Mass recruitment and training of qualified teachers: doubling the number of teachers in 10 years, with attractive salaries and continuous training.
• Renovation and construction of school infrastructure: goal of zero classrooms in thatched huts throughout Togo within 5 years.
• Reformed curricula: integration of digital education, applied sciences, entrepreneurship, modern agriculture, and national languages into teaching.
• Combating female school dropout: special scholarships for girls in rural areas, secure boarding schools, raising awareness among families through DDS micro-groups .
• Higher education and vocational training: development of universities and technical institutes in all regions, partnerships with African and international universities, programs of excellence in strategic areas (agribusiness, digital, energy, health).
• Citizenship education DDS: introduction into school curricula of modules on democracy, the rights and duties of citizens, the functioning of DDS, critical thinking and information verification.

MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES

Expected results over 10 years: a 95% completion rate (primary and secondary) across Togo; a 50% reduction in the female school dropout rate; a doubling of the number of higher and technical education graduates; and the emergence of a generation of informed, competent, and active citizens within the education system.

6.2 HEALTH: AN EFFECTIVE UNIVERSAL RIGHT

6.2.1 Diagnosis

The Togolese healthcare system is concentrated in Lomé and a few secondary cities. Rural areas suffer from a severe shortage of doctors, nurses, medicines, and equipment. Maternal mortality remains high (approximately 401 per 100,000 live births, one of the highest in West Africa). Child malnutrition affects a significant proportion of Togolese children. Vaccine-preventable diseases remain a major cause of death.

6.2.2 DDS Program for Health

20. Real Universal Health Coverage: progressive implementation of a universal health coverage system, financed by national solidarity (progressive contributions according to income) and public resources, guaranteeing every Togolese person access to essential care without prohibitive direct costs.
21. A modern health center in every village with more than 1000 inhabitants, with a permanent qualified health worker and stocks of essential medicines.
22. A fully equipped district hospital in each of the 45 prefectures of Togo.
23. Accelerated training of 5,000 community health workers in 5 years, deployed in all rural areas.
24. National vaccination and preventive health program: nutrition, drinking water, sanitation — the foundations of public health.
25. Maternal and child health: increased number of midwives , safe birthing houses in rural areas, accessible prenatal and postnatal care.
26. Development of telemedicine via DDS platforms to enable rural health workers to consult specialists remotely.

6.3 SOCIAL PROTECTION AND THE FIGHT AGAINST POVERTY

DDS proposes a universal, progressive and dignified social protection system:

• A guaranteed minimum income for Togolese citizens in situations of extreme vulnerability, financed by progressive taxation and revenues from natural resources.
• Universal pension system: everyone who has contributed to the Togolese economy — including in the informal sector — must receive a decent pension.
• Housing assistance: national program for the construction of affordable social housing in urban areas, with direct participation of beneficiaries in decisions via DDS micro-groups .
• Child protection: eradication of child labor, support for families in difficulty, care for orphaned and vulnerable children.
• Inclusion of disabled persons: accessible infrastructure, guaranteed employment in the public sector for disabled persons able to work.

6.4 EMPLOYMENT AND YOUTH

With over 60% of the population under 25, youth employment is a critical issue for Togo. DDS proposes:

• National program “Togo Youth Employment”: 100,000 jobs created in the public sector in 5 years (education, health, agriculture, infrastructure) to absorb some of the new entrants to the labor market.
• Youth entrepreneurship fund: unsecured credit of up to 10 million FCFA for entrepreneurs under 35 years of age, with technical support from DDS member mentors.
• National civic and economic service: a 12-month voluntary program for young people, combining vocational training, community service and remuneration.
• Policy for the return of skilled Togolese from the diaspora: attractive conditions for qualified Togolese from abroad who wish to return and contribute to the development of the country.

6.5 WOMEN'S RIGHTS AND GENDER EQUALITY

Togolese women must have the same rights and opportunities as men in all areas. DDS is committed to this .

• To introduce effective parity in all DDS structures from their creation: at least 50% women in micro-groups , specialist groups and governing bodies.
• To actively support women's access to land, agricultural credit and vocational training.
• To promote national legislation guaranteeing equal inheritance rights, the prohibition of early marriages, and effective protection against gender-based violence.
• To create listening and support centers for women victims of violence in each prefecture.

 

PART VII : ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMME — PROTECTING TOGO'S NATURAL HERITAGE

7.1 ENVIRONMENTAL DIAGNOSIS

Togo is one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change (135th out of 181 on the ND Gain Vulnerability Index). Deforestation is severe: Togo's forest cover has declined drastically in recent decades due to extensive agriculture, charcoal production, and logging. Coastal erosion threatens inhabited coastal areas. Land degradation directly impacts agricultural productivity. Pollution of waterways and groundwater is increasing.

7.2 DDS ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAMME

7.2.1 National Reforestation

DDS is proposing an ambitious national reforestation program: the goal is to plant 100 million trees in 10 years, actively involving local communities through DDS micro-groups . Each rural micro-group is assigned a reforestation responsibility within its territory. The chosen species combine useful local species (shea nuts, néré trees, baobab trees, mango trees) and forest species to promote biodiversity.

7.2.2 Renewable Energy

Togo suffers from chronic power outages that hinder economic development. DDS proposes: a national solar electrification plan, prioritizing the installation of photovoltaic panels in every village not connected to the grid; the development of renewable energies to cover 80% of national electricity production by 2040; and the gradual elimination of fossil fuel subsidies in favor of renewable energy subsidies.

7.2.3 Sustainable Agriculture

DDS promotes agroecology as the primary agricultural model: farming techniques adapted to local ecosystems, reduced use of chemical inputs, and sustainable soil and water management. A network of demonstration pilot farms will be established in each region to train farmers in sustainable methods.

7.2.4 Water Resources Management

Access to drinking water remains insufficient, particularly in rural areas. DDS proposes: a national drinking water program aiming for 100% access to drinking water across the entire territory within 10 years; protection and restoration of watersheds; and strict regulation of the agricultural use of pesticides and chemicals near waterways.

 

PART VIII : SECURITY PROGRAMME — LASTING PEACE AND SECURITY FOR ALL TOGOLESE

8.1 THE TERRORIST THREAT IN THE NORTH

The Savanes region in northern Togo has faced increasing terrorist attacks since 2021, linked to armed groups operating in the Sahel (particularly those affiliated with the Islamic State and Al-Qaeda). These attacks have caused hundreds of civilian and military casualties, massive population displacements, the destruction of local infrastructure, and a collapse of economic activity in the affected areas.

8.2 DDS SECURITY PROGRAM

8.2.1 Security through Development

DDS starts from the premise that terrorism and insecurity cannot be combated solely through military means. Poor, unemployed populations, lacking prospects and a voice in political decisions, are vulnerable to recruitment by extremist groups. Sustainable security therefore depends on: accelerated economic and social development in the northern regions (employment, water, health, education); the participation of local communities in security decisions through DDS micro-groups ; and the fight against corruption within the security forces.

8.2.2 Security Forces Reform

DDS proposes a comprehensive reform of the Togolese security forces: balanced national recruitment, training in human rights and de-escalation techniques, adequate equipment, and decent pay to prevent corruption. The security forces must serve all Togolese, not just one clan or party.

8.2.3 Regional and International Cooperation

DDS supports enhanced cooperation with neighboring countries (Benin, Ghana, Burkina Faso) and with regional organizations (ECOWAS, G5 Sahel) to share intelligence and coordinate security responses. It strongly opposes any isolated military action and promotes an integrated diplomatic and development approach.

 

PART IX: CULTURAL AND IDENTITY PROGRAMME — THE RICHNESS OF TOGO

9.1 PROMOTION OF TOGOLESE CULTURAL DIVERSITY

Togo is an extraordinary cultural mosaic: more than 40 ethnic groups, and artistic, musical, artisanal, and spiritual traditions of unparalleled richness. This diversity is a strength, not a weakness. DDS is committed to protecting, valuing, and promoting it.

• Official recognition and promotion of all Togolese languages: Ewe, Kabiyè, Tem, Moba , Gurma , Akan-Akposso, and all other local languages are heritage treasures to be preserved.
• Public funding of culture: increasing the national cultural budget to at least 1% of GDP, with decentralized management allowing each region to fund its own cultural priorities.
• National Festival of Togolese Cultures: creation of a large annual travelling festival that showcases the arts, music, crafts and traditions of all regions.
• Digitization of cultural heritage: documentation and digitization of all Togolese intangible heritage (stories, music, dances, craft techniques), made accessible to all via the DDS platform.
• Cultural tourism: development of an authentic tourism offer that enhances Togo's natural and cultural heritage — Togo has considerable assets ( Kpimé waterfalls , Lake Togo, nature reserves, traditional villages, colonial architecture of Lomé).

9.2 MEDIA AND FREEDOM OF INFORMATION

DDS is committed to creating a truly pluralistic media ecosystem in Togo. This includes: public funding of independent media in all the country's languages; training and protection of journalists; and the creation of a DDS information platform in French and local languages, powered by ddsAI/allddsAI, which provides all Togolese with verified, neutral, and comprehensive information on all issues that concern them.

PART XI: FINAL MESSAGE — DIRECT DEMOCRACY'S APPEAL TO THE TOGOLESE PEOPLE

Citizens of Togo, you are reading this document in 2025, in a country that has been governed by the same family for 58 years, where demonstrations are repressed in blood, where journalists are imprisoned for writing the truth, and where a constitutional reform imposed without a referendum has eliminated your fundamental right to directly elect your president.

Faced with this reality, DDS offers you neither resignation nor violence. DDS offers you something far more powerful: a system, a method, concrete and proven tools to peacefully, intelligently, and definitively regain control of your collective destiny.

DDS's strength lies not in rhetoric. It lies in organization. Every micro-group you create is a cell of real democracy. Every member you recruit is another voice saying no to the confiscation of power and yes to popular sovereignty. Every vote you cast on the DDS platform is a real, tracked, and protected decision that your representatives are mandated to defend.

THE ESSENCE OF THE DDS MESSAGE IN TOGO

DDS doesn't ask you to trust leaders. DDS empowers you to govern yourselves. Together, respecting your traditions and diversity, and protecting the most vulnerable among you, you can build the Togo you deserve: just, free, prosperous, and truly democratic.

This program is yours. It can be modified, enriched, and supplemented—by the Togolese members of DDS themselves, who have the power to amend any document and any policy through their direct votes on the platform. This is true democracy: not a program imposed from above, but a living contract between equal citizens, who decide their future together.

Togo deserves better than 58 years of family dictatorship. The Togolese people have the wisdom, courage, and ability to govern themselves. DirectDemocracyS is here to put that power in your hands—where it has always belonged.
