Togo's net migration stood at -15,010 in 2025, a decline of +996 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach -18,820 by 2026. Togo ranked 54th globally.
Togo's net migration trend has exhibited significant fluctuations over the past 66 years, with the country experiencing both the highest influx and outflow of migrants in the region. The all-time peak of 88,992 migrants in 1994, followed closely by a trough of -291,022 in 1993, showcases the extreme nature of Togo's migration dynamics. As of 2025, the country's net migration rate has dropped to -15,010, ranking it 54th globally. This decline is echoed in its peer countries, with Nigeria's net migration rate at -15,258. The drastic fluctuations in Togo's net migration rates are likely attributed to regional instability, economic factors, and demographic pressures. A stabilization of economic conditions in the region and improvements in governance could potentially alter the current trajectory, possibly leading to a decrease in the negative net migration rate, and a more stable demographic landscape for the country.
