The development objective of the FSRP is to increase preparedness against food insecurity and improve the resilience of food system stakeholders, priority landscapes and value chains in the program’s target areas in Togo.
The FSRP in Togo is implemented in the country’s 6 agricultural regions, with areas of concentration targeted for implementation of the Integrated Landscape Management (ILM) approach.

FSRP’s priority sectors in Togo focus on the upstream and downstream segments of rice, soya and poultry. The FSRP Togo thus aims to increase the availability of products in quantity and meeting standards, and to create added value for sustainable food and nutritional security.
