Doing Business 2020: Togo makes dealing with construction permits easier

(Togo First) - Over the past year, Togolese authorities have made dealing with construction permits easier. This led their ranking relating to this indicator of the Doing Business to rise from 133rd in 2019's report to 127th this year.

In parallel, the country's score improved from 61.79 to 64.1 points. The improvement is attributable to various reforms initiated since 2016 to ease the permits' obtention.

According to authors of the Doing Business 2020, "Togo made dealing with construction permits easier by reducing fees and by adopting an online portal for the submission of applications."  It also made the process "more transparent by making the required documents, preapproval, and fees available online."

In this area, the country recorded a score of 11 out of 15 for its building quality control indicator.
