The commune of Golfe 1 in Togo is set to benefit from a project aimed at providing birth certificates to women and girls without civil status documents. A total of 3,380 birth certificates will be issued as part of the Project d'Autonomisation des Femmes et du Dividende Démographique en Afrique subsaharienne (SWEDD+). This initiative is designed to provide legal identity to those who have never had a birth certificate.
The project, which is being implemented in 117 communes across Togo, aims to address the issue of lack of access to essential rights and services due to the absence of civil status documents. The mayor of Golfe 1, Joseph Koamy Gomado, has invited women and girls of all ages who have never had a birth certificate to register for the program. Registration is open at designated structures within the commune.
To be eligible for the program, applicants must have never had a birth certificate. Those who have lost their birth certificates are not eligible for this initiative. Applicants will be required to provide personal details, including their name, sex, age, place of birth, and parents' names. The program seeks to promote social inclusion and address the challenges faced by women and girls without legal identity.
