Ambassade des Etats Unis

What Ambassade des Etats Unis does

The U.S. Embassy in Togo (Ambassade des Etats Unis) is the official diplomatic mission of the United States Department of State in Lomé, Togo, headquartered at Boulevard Eyadema, B.P. 852, with a staff of approximately 38. The mission delivers consular services to the public — including non-immigrant and immigrant visa processing, U.S. passport issuance and renewal, notarial services, and 24/7 emergency assistance for U.S. citizens abroad — alongside American Citizen Services integrated with the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP). It also serves U.S. citizens residing or traveling in Togo through alerts, emergency contact lines, and consular protection.

Beyond core consular operations, the embassy runs a substantial public-diplomacy and bilateral-engagement portfolio administered across multiple sections. Educational exchange programs include EducationUSA advising, the English Access Microscholarship Program, Opportunity Funds scholarships, BridgeUSA, Fulbright Specialist placements, and academic/professional exchanges managed by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Cultural diplomacy is delivered through Sports Diplomacy programming and two American Spaces — American Corner Lomé and American Corner Kara — the latter extending engagement into northern Togo. Commercial diplomacy is supported via the U.S. Commercial Service, SelectUSA, and the recently launched American Chamber of Commerce in Togo. Security cooperation includes a State Partnership Program with the North Dakota National Guard, FBI human-trafficking training, and U.S. Secret Service cybercrime training through ILEA. Development assistance is channeled through Public Diplomacy Small Grants and Millennium Challenge Corporation engagement.

The embassy does not generate commercial revenue; it is funded by U.S. federal appropriations under the U.S. Department of State and currently operates under Chargé d'Affaires, a.i. Kimberly McClure, with Ronald E. Hawkins Jr. serving as Deputy Chief of Mission. Services are delivered at statutory fee rates for consular transactions and free for emergency citizen assistance and public-diplomacy programming. The mission uses the Department of State's standardized internal IT systems (ERA for recruitment, STEP for traveler enrollment) but does not expose developer-facing APIs or proprietary technology products.
