SalvaTerra supports the operationalization of NDCs in the planning of the agricultural and forestry sectors in Togo
Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) represent the commitment of signatory states to the Paris Agreement to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change. These commitments are fundamental: they set the objective to be achieved in the main sectors of the national economy. But their implementation is unfortunately often difficult.
Our study made it possible to diagnose a lack of articulation between the political level and the operational level: the programming, budgeting, execution and monitoring and evaluation (PPBESE) tools used on a daily basis by the agents of the ministries and administrations concerned do not integrate these objectives, with the consequence of a lack of visibility on how government action contributes or does not contribute to the achievement of NDCs.
Based on planning manuals and departmental operational procedures, we have updated the tools most used by PPBESE officials. These tools (planning matrices, annual work plans and budgets, etc.) have been updated to include a monitoring matrix for each of the NDC objectives.

International Day of Forests – 21 March
When was the last time you spent time in the forest?
Studies have shown the benefits of a walk in the forest to boost the immune system and reduce stress. This international day, dedicated to forests, aims this year to highlight their contributions to health. In addition to purifying our water and air, fertilizing soils, providing building materials and food, forests play a vital role against climate change by sequestering and storing carbon, as well as regulating the climate locally. Through these many ecosystem services, forests maintain a healthy environment for human and animal populations. They also provide the 60,000 or so plants used to heal us.
