The ASTII project has been in operation in Togo since September 2012. During the implementation period, the country’s data on R&D core indicators was collected and subsequently featured in the 2nd African Innovation Outlook (AIO-2014). There are plans to feature the data on both R&D and Innovation indicators in the 3rd African Innovation Outlook AIO-2017.  

The country benefited from regional workshops that were conducted by the NEPAD/ASTII Team, the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, the South Africa’s Centre for Science, Technology and Innovation Indicators (CeSTII) and Research Policy Institute (RPI) of the University of Lund, held between 2008 and 2012 on international survey methodologies (OECD).

Togo received a grant from SIDA to a total tune of USD95,000 for conducting ASTII surveys in the period 2008 and 2013.
