Welcome to TOGO

AIESEC has been operating in Togo for the past 35 years. Since its inception, AIESEC in

Togo has operated only on the Universite de Lome campus (LC UL) until 2009/10 when

an additional LC was established in the second public university in Togo – Universite

de Kara (LC Kara). LC UL is located in the southern part of Togo (Maritime region)

while LC Kara is located in the northern sector in the Kara Region.

Over the years, AIESEC in Togo has been growing at a faster rate in terms of quality

exchange deliveries and leadership development. For this effort, AIESEC Togo was

awarded for the highest number of iGCDP deliveries and growth in the West African

sub region at IC 2013.

AIESEC Togo offers a great culture experience with the minimal influence of modernity.

We offer you a true African cultural experience through direct contact with Togolese

people and Togolese culture.
