Togo faces growing climate-related health risks from increasing temperatures and heatwaves, rain variability and more frequent extreme weather events. The effects of such climate hazards are felt most acutely in the northern regions of Centrale, Kara, and Savanes, home to around 2.9 million people. They face an increase in cases of malaria, diarrhoeal disease, and heat-related risks to mothers, newborns, and children, compounded by a lack of access to WASH facilities, a gap in health surveillance, and a deteriorating health infrastructure.The project will strengthen the resilience of Togo's national health system and its communities through an integrated climate-health approach built on four reinforcing components: strengthen surveillance of climate-sensitive health outcomes; build an enabling environment for climate-resilient health governance; improve the resilience of health infrastructure, technologies, supply chains, and service delivery; and enhance community adaptation and engagement.&nbsp;The project is expected to benefit around four million people in total, approximately 51 per cent of whom are women. It will enable earlier, data-driven responses to climate-sensitive disease and heat risk, and cut roughly 986 tCO2eq emissions through low-carbon technologies.Implemented by GIZ, with the Ministry of Health and the National Meteorological Agency (ANAMET) as executing entities, the project is designed to move the health system toward an institutionally anchored, data-driven, and climate-resilient model. Aligned with Togo's Nationally Determined Contributions, National Adaptation Plan, and health-sector priorities, the project advances GCF's objective to build the adaptive capacity of the most vulnerable and its strategic emphasis on early warning systems, resilient infrastructure, and community level preparedness.

To reduce climate-driven flood risk and decarbonize urban mobility in Lomé. The project embeds city-wide climate-smart codes and finances nature-based drainage and zero-emission transport investments, leveraging a partial-credit guarantee to mobilize private capital.

Climate change is expected to increase the risks and vulnerabilities faced by local communities in Togo. These hazards include exposure to extreme events, coastal storms, heatwaves, droughts, and floods. The frequency and intensity of these climate challenges are expected to rise.This project—the first single-country project in Togo in the GCF portfolio—aims to improve the preparedness of national institutions and the resilience of local communities for climate change and disaster risks by establishing a fit-for-purpose Climate Information and Early Warning System (CIEWS) through enhanced people-centred climate information services, impact-based multi-hazard early warning systems, and investment in disaster risk reduction and early action mechanisms. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The project aligns closely with key international frameworks, including the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the World Meteorological Organization’s (WMO) Global Framework for Climate Services, and the United Nations Early Warnings for All (EW4ALL) initiative.&nbsp; It was developed under the “Scaling-up framework for early warning” by GCF and the Climate Risk and Early Warning Systems (CREWS) initiative.

The main objective of the proposed project is to enhance climate change adaptation of local communities in the eastern part of the Plateaux region in Togo through a climate-resilient integrated landscape management approach.
