Togo

A nation of 8.6 million building West Africa’s logistics hub, which signed $429 million with the World Bank in 2026, including $200 million to modernise its transport.

Perfect Nations values what Togo owns and raises capital against it, through innovative financing for development (FfD) and super intelligence (SI).

Perfect Nations estimate, to be confirmed with Togo. Figures marked dated rest on surveys more than five years old; lenient measures are marked as such. The strict measures

Strict measures. Food: share not moderately or severely food insecure (FAO). Water: safely managed drinking water where measured; where it is not, basic water, marked as such. Shelter: the lower of safely managed sanitation and the share outside urban slums. Energy: the lower of electricity per person against 1,000 kWh and clean cooking; where electricity per person is not published, clean cooking. Education: the lower of children reading by the end of primary school and lower-secondary completion. Health: WHO service coverage index. Livelihood: share above the stricter of the national poverty line and the World Bank line for the nation’s income group. Each figure links to its source.

    • 02The dealSocial bond, proved in Ecuador, 2020: $400M for affordable homes. Inter-American Development Bank, 2020
    • 03What Perfect Nations advisesNations where shelter is furthest from reach should issue a social bond whose proceeds can be spent only on eligible homes, toilets and sewers. With super intelligence, each unit can be planned, priced and verified, and reported to investors every year, until every family has a safe home.
