The document serves as a formal disclosure of environmental and social safeguard documents for a GCF-funded project in Togo. It identifies the project as 'Category B' and lists the specific locations and dates where the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), Environmental and Social Management Plans (ESMPs), and Local Communities Plan (LCP) were made available to stakeholders across the Maritime, Centrale, Kara, and Savanes regions.

Togo's LT-LEDS 2025-2060 aims for carbon neutrality by 2060 through a 'conforming' scenario, focusing on the AFAT (Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use) and Energy sectors. The strategy requires an estimated investment of 11,920.59 billion FCFA (19.87 billion USD), with 67% allocated to mitigation and 28% to adaptation. Key goals include increasing forest cover to 30% by 2050 and achieving 75% renewable energy in the energy mix by 2060. The document also details a comprehensive adaptation plan for sectors including health, water resources, and coastal zones, while integrating gender equity and social inclusion into climate action.

The SCPZ programme targets the Kara region in Togo, the Southern agropole in Senegal, and the Boké and Kankan regions in Guinea. It integrates climate adaptation and mitigation by investing in solar-powered drip irrigation, biogas energy for agro-processing, and climate-resilient agricultural (CRA) practices. The project aims to benefit 6.72 million people, with a strong focus on women, and expects to reduce 16.9 million tCO2eq over its lifespan.

The Staple Crops Processing Zone (SCPZ) programme aims to transform agricultural value chains in Togo, Senegal, and Guinea by integrating climate-resilient production with low-carbon processing. The project focuses on four regions: Kara in Togo, the Southern agropole in Senegal, and Boké and Kankan in Guinea. It combines adaptation measures, such as solar-powered drip irrigation and climate-resilient agriculture (CRA), with mitigation efforts, including biogas digesters and agroforestry. The programme targets 1.104 million direct beneficiaries and 5.612 million indirect beneficiaries, with a strong emphasis on women's empowerment. Total financing is USD 271.70 million, with USD 102.79 million requested from the GCF as a mix of grants and loans.

The document outlines a five-year, EUR 55.8 million project to transition Togo's health system to a climate-resilient model. It focuses on the northern regions of Centrale, Kara, and Savanes, where morbidity from malaria and diarrhoea is highest. The project aims to integrate meteorological data into health surveillance, establish early warning systems, upgrade health infrastructure to be heat-resistant, and improve community WASH services. It targets 273,224 direct beneficiaries and seeks EUR 37.6 million in GCF grants.

The proposal seeks USD 2,499,426 over 36 months to address the centralized nature of Togo's 2018 National Adaptation Plan (NAP). It aims to downscale adaptation planning to the regional level, specifically targeting the agriculture, water, and forestry sectors. Key objectives include establishing Regional Adaptation Plans (RAPs), creating a national knowledge management system for climate change adaptation, and developing a National Strategy for Private Sector Engagement. The project also intends to operationalize the National Investment Fund for Climate and Sustainable Development and develop a system for tracking adaptation finance to reduce reliance on international grants.

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's revised NDCs aim for a total greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction of 50.57% by 2030 compared to a reference scenario, consisting of a 20.51% unconditional target and a 30.06% conditional target. The plan prioritizes the energy, agriculture, forestry, and waste sectors for mitigation, while focusing on food security, water management, and coastal protection for adaptation. Implementing these goals requires an estimated total investment of 5.48 billion USD, with 78% of the funding needed as international conditional support. The document also outlines a national Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) system and a communication strategy to increase public awareness and local ownership of climate actions.
