Context
Togo, like many West African countries, is facing rapid degradation of its forests and wooded landscapes, with a loss of more than 50% of its forest cover since 1990. This has led to reduced biodiversity, soil erosion, diminished water quality, and declining rural livelihoods. At the same time, illegal logging, growing demand for fuelwood, and agricultural expansion are exacerbating these challenges, particularly in regions such as the Mono River Basin.
In this context, the Forests4Future (F4F) program was launched to address these environmental challenges while supporting the livelihoods of rural populations. Luxembourg's commitment is part of a broader vision of European cooperation focused on sustainability and the fight against climate change. Luxembourg is making a key contribution of EUR 3 million to extend the program's actions between 2025 and 2027, with a particular focus on the restoration of gallery forests and the development of forest value chains.
Overall objective
The overall objective of the F4F program is to strengthen the resilience of forest ecosystems and promote sustainable management of natural resources in Togo, while improving the livelihoods of local communities .
Program intervention strategy
The overall objective is achieved through capacity building for the implementation of restoration measures, the expansion of restoration actions in targeted areas, and support for forest value chains in order to generate sustainable income for rural populations.
Program beneficiaries
The program directly benefits some 1,800 rural households, 2,000 people educated on restoration practices, regional committees and municipal stakeholders, as well as producers in forest value chains.
