Last update: 9 hours agoUS Visa Overhaul for Africa: The U.S. plans to cut visa-processing embassies and consulates in Africa from nearly 50 to 20 “hubs,” with Lomé listed among the remaining full-processing centres—expected to take effect in June—meaning applicants from non-hub countries may have to travel farther and pay more. Trade & Transport Ripple Effects: With the Strait of Hormuz disruption pushing more shipping around the Cape, analysts say West African routes and ports like Lomé’s could see knock-on benefits as container traffic patterns shift. Climate Resilience Funding: Togo is set to receive over $67m in new funding under global climate funds to strengthen resilience, including projects targeting flood and coastal risks. Customs & Border Cooperation: Ghana’s customs leadership called for tighter Ghana–Togo coordination at the Aflao corridor to boost revenue while easing legitimate trade. Digital Infrastructure: SIN and ST Digital have agreed to launch private cloud services at the Lomé Data Centre, aiming to strengthen Togo’s digital sovereignty. Culture & Education: Wycliffe marked the Bible’s translation into its 800th language, including work involving languages spoken in Togo.
