    Background notes on the African country Togo describe its geography, people, history, government, economy and foreign relations. Togo lies on the Gulf of Guinea, between Ghana and Benin. It has 3 million people of about 21 ethnic groups; French is the official language. Growth rate is 2.9%; life expectancy 47 and 50 years. 75% of the people are engaged in agriculture, subsistence and cash crops. Togo was a colony of Germany from 1884, then administered by France and U.K. after W.W.I. Togo became autonomous in 1956 and fully independent in 1960. The present government is by presidential decree, assisted by a cabinet of ministers. There is one political party, with committees in each village that promote development and political education. The economy is based on exporting phosphates, limestone and marble, cocoa, coffee and cotton. Per capita income is $240.
