Nearly XOF7 billion shared under the Novissi cash transfer scheme, only a month after it began

Barely a month into its launch, more than XOF6.8 billion has been distributed under the Novissi cash transfer scheme initiated by the Togolese government to help populations that are affected by the current Covid-19 crisis. 

More than 550,000 people out of over 1.3 million who registered have received the funds so far. This includes about 360,000 women and 190,000 men. The money was shared in three distinct tranches.
