Evidence snapshot for Togo
Togo has pioneered AI-targeted digital cash transfers to reach its poorest citizens: Novissi used machine-learning models trained on satellite imagery and mobile-phone data to enroll 138,500+ people and disburse ~US$10M in emergency COVID aid, achieving 42% improvement in targeting precision over geographic targeting alone, though phone-based targeting still produced 9–35% higher exclusion errors than a full social registry would have. This emergency programme has evolved into ASTRE, a permanent national social-protection system now targeting 1.24 million people by 2029. On political representation, Togo's 2013 Electoral Code mandates 50% gender parity in candidate lists, yet women's National Assembly seats rose only from 16.5% (2018) to 18.6% (2024), showing that parity legislation without enforcement produces gradual rather than transformative gains.
