On 21 March 2024 in Dapaong, agricultural development stakeholders and partners attended the official handover of building materials, livestock equipment and cheques to livestock farmers and beneficiaries of the West Africa Food System Resilience Program (FSRP Togo).

As part of its implementation, the FSRP Togo has identified hundreds of livestock farmers in the various prefectures of the Savannah region to be supported, and has identified several beneficiaries, including women and young people, to benefit from funding for the implementation of agricultural/agri-food entrepreneurship initiative sub-projects.

A total of 813 stakeholders in the Savannah region, including 400 livestock farmers and 413 promoters of agricultural and agri-food entrepreneurship sub-projects, have benefited from construction materials, livestock equipment and FSRP cheques respectively.

It should be noted that the PRSF is involved at several levels of the Emergency Programme to Strengthen Community Resilience and Security (PURS) with a view to strengthening the resilience of populations in the face of the growing threats of the Sahel crisis and the harmful effects of the covid-19 health crisis: (i) improving agricultural yields and productivity, (ii) setting up irrigation infrastructure, (iii) developing agricultural mechanisation, (iv) providing access to agricultural inputs, (v) promoting support for agricultural entrepreneurship initiatives, (vi) building infrastructure to support production and add value to agricultural products.
