Context of the service

Togo's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), validated following the Paris Climate Agreement, is consistent with socio-economic development objectives, as defined in the National Development Plan 2018-2022 and the Government Roadmap to 2025.

The evaluation of NDC implementation conducted as part of the NDC review process is generally positive, but highlights some weaknesses in the institutional implementation arrangement.

In particular, inclusion of the NDC in the agricultural and forestry sectors' planning is considered low.

To address this, the United Nations Development Programme's (UNDP) "Togo NDC Support Project" is supporting the development of tools to integrate climate issues into sector planning.
