Abstract
Togo, a small West African country, has several universities contributing to its knowledge ecosystem through research and education. The analysis employs a contextual approach, drawing on secondary data from university records and government reports. A notable finding is that over 50% of research output by Togolese universities focuses on agricultural sciences, reflecting the country's economic priorities. Despite challenges such as limited resources, Togolese universities play a significant role in fostering knowledge development and policy-making in their region. Investment in infrastructure and training programmes is recommended to enhance university capabilities and impact.
