Togo is seeking the support of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) for the
preparation of its readiness program through two components: i) capacity
building of the National Designated Authority (NDA) and Focal Point for
effective engagement with the Fund, and ii) development of a country
strategic programme to facilitate the engagement with the Fund and the
financing of upcoming cimate-smart projects.
This support will enhance national ownership regarding access to Fund’s
financing through not only developing technical capabilities of the NDA,
but also strengthening the commitment of the actors in the public and
private sectors, as well as of civil society organisations and various
stakeholders on the priorities of the Fund through promoting a gender
Summary of proposed approach (readiness Area 1). This readiness programm aims, through
activities and timeline
consultations and involvement of all stakeholders, to undertake an

analytical review of existing policy documents such as the National
overall objective of
the grant, requested
Adaptation Programme to Climate Change (NAPA), the national measures
grant amount and
appropriate for mitigation (NAMA), the national adaptation plan (NAP),
expected timeline for
Vision 2030, the Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Employment
implementation)
Promotion (SCAPE). The planned analysis and public consultations will
(maximum 350 words)
lead to a country strategic programme for the engagement with the Fund,
and facilitate the identification of a portfolio of projects to submit to the
Fund (readiness Area 2).
The implementation of these two components will be facilitated by
national consultants recruited for a period of 100 days distributed over
ten (10) months, and international consultants recruited for a period of 45
days distributed over eight (09) months.
The total amount of the grant for the planned activities is USD 300,000.
The project will be conducted over a 12 months period between July 2016
and June 2017.

A. PROJET BACKGROUND & CONTEXT
A.1
Assessment of strengths and needs of the NDA
The Togolese Government, in ratifying the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC), is committed to make the changes necessary in the medium and long terms to
mitigate emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) and adapt to climate change.
All studies conducted to date have shown the vulnerability of Togo to climate change especially in
the sectors of Energy, Water Resources, Agriculture, Health, and on the Coastal Zones. Adaptation
measures have been recommended in these areas, but the feasibility and viability of the
proposed measures will require the mobilization of adequate financing, the strengthening of
technological and human capabilities, and the implementation of education programs.
The same studies also revealed the GHG mitigation potential in three priority areas: Energy,
Agriculture, as well as Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry. Realizing this potential for GHG
mitigation implies strengthening the technical, financial and institutional capacities of all
stakeholders. The technical, financial and institutional weaknesses observed to date have limited
the access to climate funds, except funding for enabling activities. The National Environment
Fund created in 2010 with the aim to channel climate funds both at national and international
levels struggles to become operational because of these weaknesses.
Enabling activities under the UNFCCC (national communications, NAPAs, Self- Assessment of
Capacity Building needs for the Management of the Environment at Global and National Levels...)
benefited from the support of multilateral implementing entities, including UNDP. Enabling
activities aimed in particular at strengthening the institutional and operational capacities of key
stakeholders. However, Togo still lacks technical, financial and institutional capacities required for
direct access to international climate finance.
Under the Adaptation Fund, Togo has identified in 2009 a regional implementing entity, the West
African Development Bank (BOAD). More than six years later, no project has yet been accepted
by the Adaptation Fund. This is partly due to insufficient capacity for generating bankable
mitigation and adaptation projects.
As part of the operationalization of the Green Climate Fund in Togo and to enable the country to
benefit from this Fund, the Directorate of Environment within the Ministry of Environment and
Forest Resources (MERF) was designated as the National Designated Authority (NDA) to interface
between Togo and the Fund. The Directorate of Environment is responsible for the definition and
implementation of strategies, programmes and plans dealing with environmental protection and
management; it also has the mandate to propose national policy elements in the field of
environmental protection and to ensure effective enforcement. In this context, initiatives such as
consultation workshops were organized in collaboration with civil society oragnizations in order
to inform and raise awareness on the Green Climate Fund.
PAGE 3 OF 41
In addition, discussions with some members of the GCF secretariat were initiated at COP 20 to
expedite the engagement of Togo with the Fund.
The Directorate of Environment, which is the NDA, has more than 50 staff. It comprises 15
officers dedicated exclusively to climate change and endowed with qualifications ranging from
economy and environment to geography, rural development economics, environmental law,
sociology and agronomy. The Directorate of Environment is the institution in charge of the
implementation of the UNFCCC Convention ; it has managed GEF funds in the past, related to the
implementation of enabling activities including NAPA, national communications, the NAP, etc.
However, the limited command of climate finance justifies the low level of mobilization of
resources dedicated to the fight against climate change.
A.2
List of national climate change policies and initiatives
The Government of Togo has developed several strategies, plans and programs related to climate
change. The national strategic orientations are defined in the "Vision Togo 2030", under
preparation, and in the "Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Employment Promotion" (SCAPE).
The preparation of the document "Vision Togo 2030" has involved not only institutional partners,
but also the civil society organizations active in the field of environmental protection and the fight
against climate change. The SCAPE provides a medium-term development framework to achieve
the General Policy Statement of the Government; it reflects the vision of the national authorities
to make Togo an emerging country by 15 to 20 years, respecting human rights and the
environment.
Main strategies, plans, policies and programs focusing on climate change are as follows:
-
Togo has ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
in 1995 and the Kyoto Protocol in 2004. Its Initial National Communication was submitted
in December 2001. The Second National Communication was submitted in September
2011, and the third national Communication was submitted in December 2015 during the
COP 21.
-
In 2005, Togo has prepared its National Strategy for the implementation of the UNFCCC
which was updated in 2010. The national implementation of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto
Protocol resulted in the creation of a National Committee on Climate change, awareness
campaigns, training workshops and a series of actions on the ground covering inter alia
reforestation and the adoption of new measures relating inter alia to energy saving and
improved control procedures of technical visits of cars.
-
Togo has developed its NAPA, which was submitted to the UNFCCC in 2009. The priority
areas, which are also the most vulnerable areas to climate change impacts, are: agriculture,
water resources management, coastal zones, housing, and health. The implementation of
the priorities contained herein allowed the development of three projects financed
through GED LDFC funds.
-
Togo has launched the preparation process of its NAMA through the establishment of a
PAGE 4 OF 41
coordination team. This process will build on the mitigation studies conducted during the
preparation of the National Communications and sectoral strategies., With the support
from GIZ, Togo has began preparing its National Adaptation Plan (NAP), which should be
delivered by 2017. The REDD + readiness process was also launched in September 2015
with the financial support of GIZ; it is expected to have a R-PP available by 2020.
Finally, Togo has benefited from the support of French cooperation for the development of its
Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC). This document was submitted in late
September 2015 to the UNFCCC. The approach adopted by Togo consists of implementing a
portfolio of measures and projects in response to adaptation issues and national development
priorities, keeping in mind that adaptation options which have potential impact on GHG emissions
mitigation will be given priority, whenever possible. The analysis of collected data has allowed
identify priorities, actions and funding requirements. The priority sectors are in order: fist:
Energy; 2nd: Agriculture; 3rd: Human settlements and health; 4th: Water resources; 5th: Coastal
erosion; and 6th: Land use, land use changes and forestry. The conditional target in terms of
further reduction of GHG emissions based on the ambitious scenario is estimated at 20%
compared to the "business as usual" scenario. The conditional target of total reduction would be
31.14% in 2030 in relation to SAM projections. The total financing requirement is estimated at
approximately USD 3.54 billion for the period 2020-2030.
At the sector level, it should also be noted:
- The national investment program for the environment and natural resources (PNIERN) that was
set in 2010. It is the national framework for the management of the environment and natural
resources. Togo's Forest Policy and the National Forestry Action Plan were developed for the
period 2011- 2019.
- In the energy sector, a national action plan for renewable energy and energy efficiency was
approved in August 2015.
- The national development policy in the agricultural sector was validated in November 2012, and
aims to provide Togo with a framing instrument for strategic actions to to be undertaken in the
agricultural sector for the next ten years (2013-2022).
Moreover, Togo was able to access some climate finance through international and multilateral
institutions for implementing climate smart projects. The development of a GCF country
programme will rely on the above mentioned documents, but also on the lessons learned from
major ongoing initiatives in the field of climate change, including:
- The "Adaptation of agricultural production in Togo" project running for $ 5.3 million with IFAD
technical support on LDCF funds;
- The "Integrated Management of Land and Disasters in Togo Project ", with a budget of $ 16
million, with financial support from GEF / LDCF, the TerrAfrica platform, and technical support
from the World bank (GFDRR funds);
PAGE 5 OF 41
- And the "Strengthening the role of conservation of the national system of protected areas in
Togo" Project which enjoys financial support from UNDP, UEMOA, the GEF, and the Government
of Togo.
Based on these results and existing documents, the work will focus on collecting relevant
information, reviewing plans and strategies at the national level, in order to prioritize investment
opportunities which have a transformational dimension. It will also be about addressing the
planning gaps and collecting required additional data in order to fill them. This process will allow
having a relevant country strategic programme with a portfolio of projects eligible for financial
support by the GCF.
A.3
Key stakeholders to be involved & Proposed process for multi-stakeholder
engagement
Under the leadership of the Ministry of Environment and Forest Resources (MERF), the
implementation of the UNFCCC allowed the gradual establishment of an institutional framework
for managing climate change (CC), through which collaborate MERF, other public technical
institutions, private actors and civil society organisations. The main components of this
framework are the National Commission for Sustainable Development (being revitalized), and the
National Committee on Climate Change. All other ministries and national agencies involved in
national development, including the Permanent Secretariat of the SCAPE, will also play an
important role in this collaboration framework. The integration of all these actors will effectively
enhance country ownership of the "readiness" process and the consolidation of the institutional
and technical capacity of a wide range of stakeholders on climate finance. These stakeholders
include ministries active in priority sectors focusing on adaptation and mitigation (see previous
section).
GCF readiness activities will be coordinated by the MERF through the NDA, and supported by a
"GCF steering committee" which will be a consultative framework for readiness activities, both
for component 1 and component 2 of the program. The GCF steering committee will consist of
key players involved in the development and implementation of climate change policies and
projects, including:
- The public sector: sectoral ministries concerned such as the Ministries of Industry, Economy and
Finance, Mining, Energy, Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, Transport, Public works, Higher
Education, Research, Development, Planning, etc. These ministries will play a big role in the
development of projects for submission to the Green Climate Fund, and for the preparation of the
country strategic programme, including the portfolio of projects. The economic unit of the Office
of the President, as an integral part of the public sector stakeholders, will also be consulted for
the readiness activities.
- The private sector: It comprises employers, the union of large companies, the Administration
Corporation of Free-Trade Zones, the Chamber of Industry and Commerce, the Energy and
Electricity Company of Togo, the Transport Company of Lomé, the SMEs and SMIs Investment
Guarantee Agency. These companies and agencies representing the Togolese private sector - and
PAGE 6 OF 41
projects sponsors - represent a real asset in the national GCF consultation process.
- Research centers and universities: the University of Lomé, the "Institute of Advisory & Technical
Support" (ICAT) and the "Togolese Institute of Agricultural Research" (ITRA) will also participate in
training activities, given their role in science, technology and innovation.
- Civil society and local actors: the NGO Friends of the Earth, Togo NGO Union, NGO Consortium
on the Environment, African Network for the Protection of the Environment, International Centre
of African Women for Development, Association for the Protection of the Environment and social
Welfare, Association for the Promotion of Childhood and the Environment, the Union of
municipalities of Togo, local authorities, etc. These organizations can play an important role in the
definition and implementation of activities to be financed by the GCF.
- Technical and financial partners: West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA) and the
West African Development Bank (BOAD) which is accredited by the GEF and the Adaptation Fund
- have committed to accompany the eight member states of the Union, including Togo, in
conducting feasibility studies for projects to be submitted to the GCF. These entities are also
seeking accreditation by the GCF. The African Development Bank (ADB) accompanies Togo in
protecting its coastline from the adverse effects of climate change. The United Nations System
agencies are involved in the fight against climate change in Togo, including the United Nations
Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the
World Bank. The European Union and the German Cooperation Agency (GIZ) support Togo in
developing its National Adaptation Plan, and are committed to strengthen the NDA through
"readiness" process.
To promote ownership and national commitment of all relevant actors towards the Green Climate
Fund, a stakeholders consultation process will be conducted both through existing cooperation
frameworks and conducting specific consultation activities:
- At national level, the National Climate Change Committee serves as a consultation,
steering and information sharing framework for this kind of process. However, the
practice in Togo is to set-up a dedicated committee for all strategic development process.
Thus, stakeholder engagement will be strengthened through the GCF steering committee,
created by a ministerial decree. The meetings will be co-chaired by the General Secretariat
of MERF and a member of the GCF Steering Committee.
- The coordination team will also use existing forums such as workshops and exchange
platforms, which the DNA is part of, in order to consolidate and strengthen the
involvement of stakeholders. The NAP process, the Technology Needs Assessment project
and other processes, in which the NDA is involved in the steering committees, will
represent opportunities to enhance information on the GCF, its funding opportunities and
its operating procedures.
- At decentralized level, the consultation frameworks of Territorial Integration Plans in place
under the "National Decentralised Action for Environmental Management Project" serve
as relays for information sharing, as well as the National Climate Change Committee.
PAGE 7 OF 41
Under Component 1, the process planned for information sharing and stakeholders consultation
in order to build the capacity of the national designated authority to fully carry out its duties
includes the following activities:
-
Developing a strategic planning process in cooperation with the public sector agencies and
other stakeholders, and providing information on the GCF, its functioning and funding
opportunities through appropriate information channels all along the process;
-
Providing the NDA with capability to identify and assess the priority projects and programs
and to carry out its no-objection task;
-
Developing and implementing a communication plan in direction of stakeholders through
workshops, mass media, websites, TV and radio;
-
Conduct meetings of the GCF steering committee to inform on the results of the Readiness
process (capacity building and strategy) and to ensure continuity of activities required
beyond the GCF funded readiness program;
-
Further develop public-private partnership in order to better involve the private sector in
activities related to the GCF. This partnership will be strengthened through the leadership
of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry Resources, led by the Ministry of Economy
and Finances; it will be conducted through consultations between the MERF, private
sector representatives and the Ministry of Economy. The various sectoral ministries and
the private sector representatives will also play a big role in the development of projects
for submission to GCF. It should be noted that the State has a majority stake in the capital
of most of big companies with a significant mitigation potential.
For the preparation of the GCF country strategic programme, the process of stakeholders’
consultations will build on existing structures, in addition to a set of specific consultations. Three
levels of participation / consultation are planned: i) the technical leadership of the NDA and the
MERF daily; ii) consultation of the most active actors in the field of climate change, including
through the National Climate Change Committee, and the GCF Steering Committee; iii) an
extended circle of stakeholders involved in activities focusing onthe fight against climate change
in Togo.
The GCF country strategic programme will be prepared under the leadership of MERF whose
mandate is to coordinate the development and implementation of government’s environmental,
forest resources and climate change policy. The Director of the Environment, as the NDA, will lead
the task of preparing the country strategic programme, but other entities within MERF will be
involved in technical discussions, including: the Office of Forests Development and Exploitation,
the national agency for environmental management, the Directorate of forest resources and the
Directorate of studies and planning.
The main stakeholders involved in the preparation of the GCF country strategic programme will
be mobilized through the National Climate Change Committee and the GCF steering committee.
The National Climate Change Committee will be informed / consulted at each of stage the country
strategic programme preparation. It consists of representatives of ministries, public and research
PAGE 8 OF 41
institutions, civil society members and the private sector representatives. The GCF Steering
Committee will be strongly involved in both the preparation and the implementation of the
country strategic programme. Its members will be asked to provide technical recommendations
and advice needed to conduct the project and to facilitate access to the collection of scientific
and technical information. Similarly, the committee members will work to disseminate the project
results in their respective departments and institutions to strengthen ownership and to ensure a
future effective implementation of the GCF country strategic programme.
The consultations for the preparation of the GCF country strategic programme will be done
through two national workshops (one to launch the process and one to validate the country
strategic programme) as well as various meetings of the two aforementioned committees.
Women and young people will be actively involved, including in the identification and preparation
of projects for submission to the Fund. It should be recalled that the preparation of the existing
national strategies was made taking into account the gender dimension, through regional
consultative processes, using focus groups. So there is a real culture of women and youth
participation and the new process will build on it.
B. DETAILED PROJECT ACTIVITIES
B.1
Detailed plan for strengthening the NDA
Togo has requested technical and financial support from the GCF in order to enhance the
capabilities of the Directorate of Environment (as NDA) to engage with the Fund, plan
stakeholders coordination and design its strategy of interaction with the Fund. To this end, the
following activities will be conducted during the project:
Strengthening capacity of the NDA: The activities will enable the Directorate of Environment to
effectively fulfill its role as NDA, including: improve his own knowledge of the Green Climate Fund
and the one of other stakeholders in order to promote opportunities for generation of projects;
clarify to stakeholders their respective role in engaging with the Fund; carry out the activities of
the GCF steering committee and strengthen its awareness of the opportunities of the GCF for
Togo. The NDA, with its enhanced capabilities, will be able to ensure effective engagement of all
stakeholders in the process of definition of the country strategic programme. He will lead the
process of multi-stakeholder consultations and define and operationalize a sound process of noobjection for the submission of projects to the Fund.
The consultation / dialogue activities mentioned in the previous section will be conducted by the
NDA with the support of consultants. The consultants (international and national) 1 will be
recruited in order to provide technical assistance and practical advice to the NDA on the strategic
priority areas for stakeholder engagement with the Fund.
In addition to consultation/dialogue activities mentioned in the previous section, the two
consultants will accompany the NDA in the following tasks:
1
100 days over the course of 10 months for the national consultant, 45 days over the course of 9 months for the

ACTIVITY AREA 1 (STRENGTHENING OF NDA CAPACITIES)

I.
Context:
The Green Climate Fund (GCF), established by Decision 1 / CP.16 of the United Nations Conference on
Climate Change in 2010 in Mexico, is after the Global Environment Fund (GEF), the second Financial
Mechanism of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The GCF finances in
all developing countries parties to the UNFCCC; resilient and low carbon projects with a view to contributing
to the global effort to reduce greenhouse gases. The areas of action of this fund focus on efficiency and
energy production, adaptation activities to reduce climate-related vulnerability, sustainable forest
management (including REDD+2), low-emission transportation and the design and planning of cities.
It thus contributes to achieving the ultimate objective of the UNFCCC, that is to say, promote a paradigm
shift towards sustainable development through a low growth trajectory in GHG emissions and resilient to
climate change.
In its initial phase, the Fund is organized thematically: funding windows for adaptation and mitigation, and
the private sector facility (PSF), which remains a separate entity.
Access to Fund resources will be through national, regional and international entities accredited by the GCF
Board. The different modes of access can be used simultaneously.
National ownership is to be at the heart of the approach of GCF. The Fund will seek to maximize the impact
of its funding for adaptation and mitigation, and to seek a balance between the two, while promoting, socioeconomic and environmental co-benefits and gender mainstreaming. It will then encourage the participation
of all stakeholders, including vulnerable groups and and the consideration of gender issues.
At national level, the National Designated Authority (NDA) and the focal point will not only be responsible to
direct fundings for the implementation of adaptation and mitigation activities, but also to act as an interface
between the funds and countries.
