<p>This paper investigates the determinants of the technical efficiency of cultural enterprises in Togo using a two-stage bootstrap DEA approach to data from the General Census of Enterprises conducted in 2018. The results suggest that Togolese cultural firms experienced significant inefficiencies. Our findings also conclude that there is some heterogeneity between the efficiency across cultural sub-sectors and regions. The performance of these enterprises is determined by the managers’ and enterprises’ characteristics and the institutional environment. Togo should improve the business climate, especially by facilitating the formalization of cultural enterprises. In addition, the country should increase investment in the construction of cultural infrastructures in regions other than Lomé and provide a framework for specific training in the management of cultural enterprises. It is also necessary to promote the emergence of talent, creativity and innovation and to encourage the grouping of very small cultural enterprises to increase their scale of production. In this way, Togo can revitalize its cultural sector.</p>
