AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoWomen’s Health: Togo is setting up a complaints system for communities in its $62.5 million SWEDD+ women’s empowerment project. Residents can raise concerns in person or by phone, text, WhatsApp or email; complaints should be acknowledged within two days and resolved within 20. The system also prioritises privacy and safety in gender-based violence cases. Mental Health: A study of 576 women in Togo found 30% would first turn to a hairdresser when facing a difficulty, while fewer than 1% would approach a health professional. Researchers say salons can be trusted spaces for conversation, highlighting a potential link between community support and formal care. Access to Care: Togo’s new “Voice of Togo” initiative is collecting recordings and translations in Ewe, Kabiyè and Moba to develop local-language AI tools, including applications that could help patients describe symptoms. Animal Health: Seven West African countries adopted regional plans in Lomé to improve surveillance and coordinate responses to livestock diseases, including bird flu and foot-and-mouth disease.
