In order to produce an official document on poverty in Togo , the Government of the Togolese Republic organized , in Lomé , from 10 to 12 October 2001 , a national seminar to launch the `` process of devising poverty reduction strategies '' . The process resulted in the adoption , in March 2008 , of an Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper ( I-PRSP ) . The guidelines set out in the interim paper have mapped out the way to national reconstruction and the resumption of cooperation with all development partners .
