Footballer Emmanuel Adebayor helps launch Sir Paul Judge's Vision Togo
Published: 04 October 2014 | by Janine Dube
English businessman, Sir Paul Judge, has held a reception to support Vision Togo, which he started following the Togolese President’s Investment Advisory Council (TPIAC).
TPIAC, established by the President of Togo, consists of ten senior business people from outside Togo and Sir Paul Judge was one of them.
He decided to create a Group of alumni from the University of Cambridge to review and provide recommendations about the development of Togo.
The Group undertook extensive investigations in London and a research trip to Togo.
As a result of the findings, Vision Togo is set to implement four projects: one in Agriculture (Better Seeds and Fertilisers), one in Education (Teaching English) and two in Health (Mobile Clinics and Medical Call Centres).
The Project aims to use technology to bring about social, educational and healthcare development in the country.

Footballer Emmanuel Adebayor, the ambassador of the project, attended the launch of Vision Togo in London and said how important it is to build on the progress that has been made in Togo.
Vision Togo has recently secured a Grant for $200,000 from the Ford Foundation.
The funding will enable the organisation to launch its first on the ground project in Togo in November 2014.
GE Healthcare have agreed to be technical advisors and boast significant experience in designing and deploying mobile field hospitals.
Samsung have agreed to donate and supply medical equipment such as mobile ultrasound units to improve neo-natal care.
To get involved, Jamie Goode is leading the health project and is responsible for delivery and execution and can be contacted at jg@pvtogo.org.
