Strengthening Climate Resilience and Adaptation in Togo through a Multi-Risk Early Warning Mechanism

The project aims to establish a comprehensive multi-risk early warning system in Togo, targeting 100% of the population (approximately 8.28 million direct beneficiaries). It addresses critical gaps in hydrometeorological monitoring, data processing, and dissemination. The initiative is structured around four components: institutional development, operational capacity improvement for monitoring agencies, infrastructure modernization (including low-cost automated weather stations), and the creation of a sustainable financial framework involving public-private partnerships. The project seeks $10 million in GCF grants with an equal amount in co-financing for a total cost of $20 million over four years.

• Togo faces significant climate risks, with flooding occurring almost every year and recurrent droughts particularly affecting the Savannah, Kara, Maritimes, and Eastern Plateaux regions.
• Land degradation is a severe issue in Togo, affecting at least 85% of the country's arable land.
• The existing early warning system in Togo is inadequate due to a lack of budget, human resources, and standardized data collection methods, with many meteorological stations abandoned or non-functional.
• Climate change is projected to reduce the production levels of main crops in Togo by 5% in 2025, 7% in 2050, and 10% by 2100.
• The proposed project targets 8,278,724 direct beneficiaries, representing 100% of Togo's total population.
• The project will implement a four-component strategy: institutional development, operational capacity for monitoring, infrastructure modernization, and a sustainable financial framework.
• Infrastructure improvements will include the installation of low-cost automated weather stations and water level stations at strategic locations to enhance rainfall monitoring.
• The project intends to create a sustainable economic model for climate services by introducing fees for data access for researchers and pursuing partnerships with mobile telecommunication companies like TOGOCOM and MOOV AFRICA.
• The total indicative project cost is $20,000,000, consisting of $10,000,000 in requested GCF grants and $10,000,000 in co-financing.
