Togo: Preparations for the 2nd Pan-African consumer protection forum
Togo is set to host the second Pan-African Forum on Consumer Protection, a major event initiated by the African Consumers Union (UAC) in collaboration with the Togolese Consumers League (LCT). From September 5 to 7, 2024, the Togolese capital, Lomé, will become the central hub for crucial discussions around the theme: “Enhancing User Satisfaction in Telecommunications and Air Transport Services for Better Air and Digital Connectivity”.
Hosting this forum in Togo presents an exceptional opportunity for Togolese consumers. By focusing on user satisfaction in telecommunications and air transport services, this event aims to bring significant improvements in two key sectors that directly impact citizens’ daily lives.
The forum will highlight the current regulatory challenges in telecommunications across Africa. The discussions and recommendations from this event could lead to strengthened national regulations, ensuring better service quality for Togolese consumers. Strategies to ensure equitable and affordable access to telecommunications services will be discussed, promoting broader digital inclusion and reducing the digital divide in Togo.
The development of the African Single Air Transport Market (SAATM) aims to facilitate air t  ravel across the continent. For Togolese people, this means better connectivity, with more frequent and potentially cheaper flights to other African countries.
By hosting this forum, Togo positions itself as a key player in defending consumer rights in Africa. The positive impacts will be felt not only in the telecommunications and air transport sectors but also in the national economy.
The second Pan-African Forum on Consumer Protection represents a unique opportunity for Togo to advance consumer rights and improve services in critical sectors. By focusing on telecommunications and air transport, this event promises significant positive outcomes for Togolese citizens, enhancing their quality of life and supporting the country’s economic and social development.
