The Togolese government has just launched an international call for tenders to select an accredited provider to train 600 Togolese specialists in key digital professions: digital marketing, data science and IT support.

In detail, the service provider selected for this assignment will not only have to train and certify participants to international standards, but also transfer its tools and content to local centers to ensure the sustainability of the scheme.

Eventually, these centers will themselves be able to offer certification courses, thereby strengthening national autonomy in terms of digital human capital.

The call for applications is open until April 14, 2025.
