In plain words
39.5% of population
What it is. This measure counts the share of people in Togo who used the internet, typically within a recent survey period such as the last three months, on any device and from any place. It usually comes from household surveys or from operator data adjusted to the population. Because it counts people rather than subscriptions, it covers those who borrow a phone or use a café. It says nothing about speed, cost or how often someone goes online.
Higher is better. More people online means wider access to information, banking, public services and paid work, so a higher share is better. The latest figure is 39.5% of population for 2024, up from 37.6% of population a year earlier, a rise of 1.9 percentage points. Since 2015 the series has climbed from a low of 7.1% of population, and the 2024 reading is the highest in that span.
Why it matters. At 39.5% of population, a little under two in five Togolese are online, so most households still rely on offline channels for shops, schooling and official paperwork. Firms and the state that move services online reach only part of the population, and the gap is likely to be widest outside towns. Steady annual gains such as the latest 1.9 percentage points widen the market for mobile payments and online services.
