Towards the establishment of a database for Electronic Certification Providers (​E-CSPs)

(Togo First) - Togo plans to have a registry dedicated to firms that provide electronic certification services. This aligns with the country's ambition to become a digital hub by 2025.

In this framework, the telecommunication and post regulator (ARCEP) launched a call for expression of interest to select e-administration and trade actors who want to be accredited as Electronic Certification Services' Providers (PSCE). It also includes Quality Services' Providers (PSCQ). 

In detail, the services include the issuance and management of e-certificates, enabling given parties to sign e-documents safely and reliably, as well as electronic archiving services, among others.

The ARCEP's accreditation will add up to the government's efforts to make Togolese trust IT security more. In February 2021, the public authorities launched the Computer Emergency Response Team, to better protect the national cyberspace and enable the Togolese population to safely benefit from the "digitalization of services and administration."
