Story

Inades-Formation Togo was created in January 1972 with its headquarters in Dapaong. This headquarters moved successively from Dapaong (Far North of the country), to Atakpamé and then to Lomé with a branch in Sokodé which no longer exists. Inades-Formation Togo signed a technical cooperation agreement with the Togolese government on January 23, 1987. Inades-Formation Togo has become an autonomous national association of Inades-Formation internationale since November 1999 after a transition to Orientation Council and then to Management Consulting. The Association of Inades-Formation Togo is registered under N° 0284/MISD-SG-DAPSC-DSC dated 26 February 2004. It has a General Assembly which meets every year with a national Board of Directors which appoints a Director of the national office. The Board of Directors meets by statute twice a year.

ASTM Human Rights Project

1. Project title

Agroeco promotion and promotion of human rights. Agroecological transition and human rights promotion project in Tchamba prefecture (January 2020 to December 2022).

2. Objectives

Accompany the actors in a comprehensive analysis approach, to work on the causes and the mechanisms which maintain the dysfunctions on the promotion of human rights and the adoption of agroecological practices, then to think of the alternatives “appropriate solutions”.

Train farmers in a research-incentive approach to decision-making. The actors of the project then become the “main actors as the force of their change. This approach emphasizes action as a source of mutual learning. Each action that the actors undertake constitutes a place of learning par excellence.

3. Beneficiaries

  • 450 producers belonging to 24 grassroots farmers’ organizations, five (5) cantonal unions, 20 local elected officials from two (2) municipalities in the prefecture of Tchamba.
  • The indirect beneficiaries are made up of all the populations of the communes of Tchamba 1 and 2, i.e. a total of 440,516 inhabitants.

4. Achievement area

Municipalities of Tchamba 1 and 2. Six (6) cantons are beneficiaries. Tchamba, Affem, Koussountou, Krikri, Banlaka and Goubi .

5. Summary of the project

The main issue is to support farms in their agro-ecological transition with the consideration of human rights. It will be a question of contributing to bringing about a profound change in mentality and behavior among agricultural producers and community leaders in the management of natural resources (land, water, flora and fauna), the development of agroecological practices, the development of economic alternatives with an intervention strategy based on the Human Rights Approach. The challenge is therefore to support agricultural producers in the development of integrated farming systems (plant and animal production) where nothing is lost but everything is transformed, recycled and upgraded to better exploit the potential of local natural resources.

GDT GDF Project

1. Project title

Strengthening the resilience of local communities through concerted and sustainable management of forest ecosystems and land

2. Objectives

Improve the resilience of local communities to climate change through concerted and sustainable management of forest ecosystems and better development of land and trees.

Specifically, restore and sustainably manage forest areas and sensitive sites (mountain sides, river banks, degraded watersheds, degraded agroforestry areas, etc.) located in the Savanes, Kara and Centrale regions , in order to promote the sustainable development of these territories.

3. Beneficiaries

The beneficiary target group of the project is made up of agricultural producers, grassroots development committees (CVD and CDD (11), prefecture councils (7). They are estimated at approximately 3,600 producers who are members of the cantonal unions and the 3 Regional Producer Unions of the Savanes, Kara and Centrale regions, as well as the DRERFs of the 3 targeted regions.

4. Achievement area

Savanes (Kpendjal and Tandjoare prefectures), Kara (Bassar and Assoli prefectures) and Centrale (Tchamba and Blitta prefectures) regions.

5. Summary of the project

This project stems from a joint reflection between partner NGOs, following various projects carried out in the Savanes, Kara and Centrale regions, between 2009 and 2017. It is based on a participatory territorial diagnosis carried out in these regions, with the participation of the recipients of this action. This diagnosis highlights serious problems related to the degradation of forest resources, the disappearance of plant cover and land degradation, under the combined effect of climatic hazards and anthropogenic pressure (economic and agricultural). The absence of forest development and management plans, as well as the absence of forums for consultation are also factors explaining unsustainable resource exploitation practices. This situation leads to a deterioration of the indicators which are the most critical in these regions, in terms of environmental degradation, vulnerability to the effects of climate change, but also poverty and food insecurity.

6. Partner

ABCD2 project

Projet ABCD-Un élève un arbre COP28

1. Project title

Supporting the scaling-up of community experiences and citizen monitoring of public policies in response to climate change in sub-Saharan Africa (ABCD 2 project)

2. Summary

The project to scale up community experiences and dynamics of citizen monitoring of public policies in the face of climate change in sub-Saharan Africa is the continuation of an initial project to capitalize on these experiences.

In fact, in 2022, with funding from the Basque Agency for Development Cooperation (ABCD), Inades-Formation carried out the project “Study-capitalization of best practices in the face of the challenges of climate change and local governance in sub-Saharan Africa “This project capitalized on 50 experiences, including 31 on adaptation to climate change and 19 on governance, in 11 sub-Saharan African countries.

Based on the results of this pilot project, we have been able to identify and capitalize on some of the living realities of community efforts to combat the problems posed by climate change in Africa. They have been developed by a variety of players, including public services specializing in environmental and climate change management, civil society organizations and farmers’ organizations.

This second phase of the project, which will run for 30 months (2022-2024), aims to (i) scale up these good experiences developed by communities in African countries, in terms of adaptation, mitigation and resilience to climate change and of (ii) support the dynamics of citizen monitoring of the associated policy and regulatory frameworks.

3. General objective

Contribute to the fight against global warming, through the large-scale promotion of local experiences and concerted policy measures relating to adaptation, mitigation and resilience mechanisms for vulnerable populations, especially rural populations in sub-Saharan Africa.

4. Specific objectives

  • Scale up the good experiences developed by communities in African countries, in terms of adaptation, mitigation and resilience in the face of climate change.
  • Support the dynamics of citizen monitoring of related policy and regulatory frameworks

5. Completion period: June 2022 to November 2024

6. Project area

The project is being carried out in 11 countries: Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, DR Congo, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania and Togo.

ACF-AO project

WhatsApp Image 2023-08-24 at 15.13.12

1. Project title

Feminist Climate Action Project – West Africa ACF-AO

2. Summary

The “Feminist Climate Action in West Africa” project is being implemented in Côte d’Ivoire to contribute effectively to the resilience and fight against the effects of climate change by ecologically sensitive coastal and island communities, with a particular focus on rural women and young people.

It will build the capacity of communities, particularly women and young people, to implement strategies to protect biodiversity and ecosystems, notably through the adoption of agroecological practices, energy diversification and advocacy. It will strengthen the participation of rural women and young people in local governance of biodiversity and climate action.

Funded by Global Affairs Canada | Affaires mondiales Canada, the ACF AO project is taking place in Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Senegal and Togo.

It is managed in Côte d’Ivoire by SUCO and Inades-Formation – Secrétariat Général.

3. Background

Climate change threatens to push nearly a million more Ivorians into extreme poverty, increase the risk of water stress, with more and more regions expected to see more than 10% of their population in water shortage, and increase the resurgence of air- and water-related diseases among susceptible populations (Nationally Determined Contributions, CDN-COTE D’IVOIRE, March 2022). According to the World Bank, by 2050, Côte d’Ivoire will face an average temperature rise of two degrees Celsius, greater rainfall variability and a 30 cm rise in sea level along the coast (World Bank, 2018a).

Climate change affects all development sectors. However, differences between men and women in their relationship with their environment, differences in the composition of economic sectors and unequal access to resources and decision-making will amplify the impacts of climate change on certain categories of the population, including women.

The “Feminist Climate Action in West Africa” project is a response to this reality.

4. General objective

Strengthening climate change adaptation by rural and indigenous women and young people in ecologically sensitive coastal and island regions of Côte d’Ivoire.

5. Specific objectives

  • Increase the influence of rural and indigenous women and young people in climate policy advocacy and in the governance of high-biodiversity ecosystems vulnerable to climate change.
  • Increase the adoption of nature-based solutions such as agroecology, ecosystem and biodiversity protection and restoration, for climate change adaptation, by rural and indigenous women and young people.
  • Strengthen the climate resilience of rural and indigenous women and young people through economic empowerment and energy diversification.

6. Completion date: 2023 - 2026

7. Target audience / beneficiaries: Young people 41% & Rural and indigenous women 59%.

8. Project area

Adiaké, Grand-Bassam, Jacqueville and Grand-Lahou.
