The PSF service aims to assist Togo’s Ministry of Higher Education and Research in establishing a National Research and Innovation Support Fund. This initiative seeks to enhance the visibility and effectiveness of Togo’s Research and Innovation (R&I) efforts, positioning them as key drivers of sustainable development.

The Fund will focus on:

• Fostering collaboration among government, academia, industry, and civil society to promote open science and innovation.
• Identifying investment opportunities in R&I more effectively.
• Attracting private sector investment through public-private partnerships.
• Establishing innovation hubs to support the growth of start-ups.
• Encouraging gender equity and active participation of local stakeholders in innovation strategies.

The PSF service will be delivered by an international panel of experts working closely with Togo’s national team and the PSF team under the OACPS R&I Programme.
