2 Green Climate Fund Readiness and Preparatory Support Proposal Country (or region) Togo Submission date 17/04/2015 NDA or Focal Point The Directorate of Environment, Ministry of Environment and Forest Resources (MERF) Date of NDA/FP designation Contact point (the person who will be responsible and accountable for this request) Full office address Readiness area/s Request summary (In 200 words or less please summarise your request for readiness support) 06/08/2014 Name: Mr Esso Sam Abdou Rassidou Agrignan Position: Economist and Focal Point for the Green Climate Fund Tel: (+228) / / The Directorate of Environment Ministry of Environment and Forestry Resources, 247, Rue des Nîmes B.P. : 4825 Lomé Togo Tel : (+228) / Fax: (+228) / denv_togo@yahoo.fr 1. Establishing and strengthening National Designated Authorities (NDAs) or Focal Points 2. Strategic frameworks for engagement with the Fund, including the preparation of country programmes 3. Selection of implementing entities or intermediaries, and support for accreditation 4. Initial pipelines of programme and project proposals 5. Information Sharing, experience exchange and learning Activity area 1: NDA strengthening Recruiting an international expert (climate and environmental finance) for about 2 months and a national financial assistant (with good command of English language) to provide technical and management assistance to the NDA in order to: 1. Build the knowledge and capacity of the coordination team (i.e. the General Secretariat of the MERF; GCF steering committee, etc) 2. Coordinate with relevant ministries, departments and agencies on key issues related to GCF 3. Draft a country programme (see activity 2 below); 4. Liaise with other ministries, departments and relevant agencies including consultations on the development of a country programme; and 5. Conduct robust awareness campaigns in order to get greater commitment from key stakeholders, starting with an initial national workshop for implementing the 'readiness' programme by end July The NDA may also add other activities in accordance with the Fund s defined scope of work on NDA strengthening (see Annex I). Activity area 2: Strategic Framework including the preparation of country programmes. The NDA will develop a country programme comprising: 1. The collation and review of Togo s development priorities (e.g. SCARPE - the

3 strategy for accelerated growth and employment promotion), institutional and legal framework for climate change (e.g. the Framework Law on environment enacted in May 2008) and relevant plans and strategies (e.g. PNIERN the National Investment Programme for the Environment and Natural Resources) with a view to identifying transformational investment opportunities in accordance with the Fund s Initial results management framework; 2. The identification of opportunities to involve the private sector, including micro, small and medium enterprises, and to take advantage of their ability to implement Togo s programming priorities 3. The clarification of the roles of prospective public and private sector entities that may be accredited by the Fund in implementing Togo programming priorities with respect to the Fund; 4. The identification of a comprehensive portfolio of projects and programmes to be submitted to the Fund for financing, including public-private partnerships, in accordance with the Fund s Initial investment framework; and 5. Determining how to avoid duplications, if any, with the readiness work of other donors in the country (e.g. GIZ) and encourage synergies between the support of GCF and other partners efforts. The NDA may add other elements of the country program and will also be required to undertake consultations with stakeholders in accordance with the Fund s defined scope of work on developing strategic frameworks (See Annex II) including the preparation of country programmes. Start and end dates 15/07/ /07/2017 Duration of support (in months) Estimated total cost (in US$) SECTION A: CONTEXT 24 months (2 years) Up to US$ 300,000 A.1 Status of GCF readiness in the country (include information on previous engagement with the Fund and related readiness initiatives and activities) Togo ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1995 and its Kyoto Protocol in It developed and presented its First and Second National Communications in 2001 and 2010 respectively. The process for developing the Third National Communication started in 2013 and is still in the works. Previous engagement with the Fund On 6 August 2014, The Directorate of Environment, within the Ministry of Environment and Forestry Resources (MERF) was nominated as the National Designated Authority for the GCF. Following the NDA nomination, a national consultative stakeholder workshop was organised in collaboration with civil society. At the sub-regional level, a regional consultation workshop between Benin, Ghana and Togo was convened to share initial country experiences with regard to the operationalisation of the GCF in different countries. In the margins of the COP 20 in Lima (December 2014), the Togolese delegation met with staff from the GCF and discussed the GCF readiness programme and how Togo could benefit from it. A subsequent mission in late December 2014 by the GCF Mitigation Coordinator, Youssef Arfaoui, enabled national stakeholders in Togo to gain a better understanding on the process for developing a pipeline of projects and programmes for submission to the GCF. Other readiness initiatives include: The initiation of a process for developing Togo s National Adaptation Plan, and the launch of the REDD+ readiness process with GIZ support The establishment of a coordination team for the preparation of Togo s draft NAMA portfolio. This process will build on the mitigation studies conducted in national communications and relevant sectoral strategies. The operationalization of the National Environment Fund (created in 2010) with funding from GEF and

4 UNDP as delivery partner. A.2 Description of planned project / programmes (applicable for project / programme preparation request only) Although details are not yet readily available at this particular time, Togo intends to submit a portfolio of projects both for adaptation (especially in agriculture, water resources, coastal zone) and mitigation (focussing on energy efficiency, transportation, access to low emission energy sources, and production of low-emission energy). SECTION B: DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES B.1 Logical framework Outcomes 1 2 Outputs 1.1 Description NDA established and capacity strengthened to undertake Fund-related responsibilities Strategic framework for engagement with the Fund endorsed Guideline document on processes for reviewing and deciding on funding proposals developed Indicators # of funding proposals reviewed by interministerial coordination committee led by NDA # of funding proposals recommended or no objection provided by the NDA to the Fund Formal endorsement of country programme by cabinet or head of government Formal adoption and publication of guideline document 1.2 Decision memos of coordination meetings developed 2.1 Country programme developed through stakeholder engagement process 2.2 Activities Summary reports of stakeholder engagement processes published # of committee-endorsed decision memos # of priority projects and programmes, including preferred entities, identified through stakeholder engagement # of participants (government, civil society and private sector) included in stakeholder engagement process Participant survey reports from stakeholder engagement processes To be completed in inception and progress reports as specific activities are planned B.2 Rationale for the request Togo seeks GCF s support for its readiness process for the first 2 activity areas in order to enhance its capacity to access climate finance. Enabling activities, such as NAPA and national communication processes, benefitted from the support from multilateral executing entities such UNDP. Such projects were meant among other objectives to strengthen the institutional and operational capacities of the country. Yet, nearly 20 years after the implementation of the First National Communication, Togo still lacks adequate capacity to facilitate direct access to climate financing for the implementation of climate-related projects and programmes.

5 In 2009, Togo chose the West African Development Bank (BOAD) as its regional implementing entity for projects under the Adaptation Fund. More than five years later, not a single project from Togo has been accepted by the Adaptation Fund. This is partly due to insufficient capacity in project development. Readiness support will contribute to strengthening Togo s institutional capacity at national level including the identification of potential candidates for accreditation as GCF s implementing entities. Activity 1 The Directorate of Environment within MERF, with the support of other stakeholders from institutional arrangement (in section D2) will steer Togo s efforts to transition to a climate resilient and green economy. They will also be responsible for engagement with the Fund in the long-term. However, in the short term, the NDA requires short-term specialist resources in order to effectively accelerate their engagement with the Fund, and also build the capacity of the staff team that will take up these responsibilities in the long-term. Activity 2 There is a multiplicity of climate-related strategies, plans and programmes in Togo. With GCF readiness support, Togo wishes to collate and review these plans and strategies at the national level, in order to assess their adequacy, prioritise those with transformational potential, and identify gaps that may need to be filled in order to have robust country programme that is consistent with the Fund s Initial investment framework. The country also envisages identifying geographic and thematic options for programming, and collecting additional data available to fill in the identified gaps. Such a process is expected to provide a comprehensive portfolio of projects that will be submitted to the GCF for funding. In doing so, the aim is to avoid overlap or duplication with projects/programmes supported by other donor agencies. SECTION C: BUDGET (include total cost and share of GCF funding) The following is an indicative budget outline. A detailed budget breakdown will be provided with the inception report. Activity 1: US$ 150,000 Consultancy services (including travel cost): US$ 95,000 Workshops: US$ 47,500 Contingency: US$ 7,500 Activity 2: US$ 150,000 Consultancy services (including travel cost): US$ 95,000 Workshops: US$ 47,500 Contingency: US$ 7,500 The Directorate of Environment within MERF (NDA) will provide counterpart support in the form of staff, office space, settling utility bills, office supplies, and other in-kind contributions, amounting to approximately US $75,000. The NDA anticipates that it will need additional resources to fully undertake activities to strengthen the NDA and develop a country programme and it may supplement the Fund s resources with additional resources from other development partners. The audit fees are included in the overall approved budget. SECTION D: IMPLEMENTATION PLAN D.1 Implementation and disbursement schedule

6 The funding will be transferred to UNDP (Togo) in three tranches: The first disbursement, which amounts US$ 100,000 (US$50,000 for Activity 1 and US$50,000 for Activity 2), will be transferred upon the submission of an inception report from the Directorate of Environment within MERF, the NDA to the Fund, in form and substance acceptable to the Fund, which includes detailed implementation plan, procurement plan and budget; The second tranche of US$ 100,000 will be transferred upon submission of an interim progress report and financial report, in form and substance acceptable to the Fund, including an expenditure statement; and The final disbursement will be made upon submission of a completion report and financial report, including an audited expenditure statement. D.2 Implementation arrangements (include delivery partners, opportunity for South-South knowledge sharing and transfer where applicable) While UNDP will take responsibilities for fiduciary management of the readiness funding, the NDA will lead the implementation process of this programme in collaboration the institutional framework described below. The NDA, with support from 2 (maximum 3) individual consultants or a consulting firm, will deliver Activity 1 and 2 in accordance with the procurement plan and a detailed implementation plan, both of which will be further elaborated in the inception report. Figure 1 (below) provides an overview of the proposed institutional framework for monitoring the implementation of the readiness process in Togo. Figure 1: institutional framework for monitoring the implementation of the readiness process in Togo. The Directorate of Environment within MERF (NDA) will manage the readiness project. The Director of Environment will be the National Director for Readiness process and ensure regular monitoring of the GCF s activities. He will report to the General Secretariat of the MERF (which coordinates all technical activities at the MERF) on progress with regard to the GCF readiness activities in Togo. The contact point for the NDA will act as coordinator of the readiness process, whose main task will be to ensure day-to-day management of readiness activities. UNDP will be the executing entity. The coordinator will operate under the authority of the Director of the Environment and with oversight from a multi-stakeholder GCF Steering Committee that will be set up, to facilitate access to information in relevant departments and monitor the implementation of readiness actions. Short-term specialist

7 resources will be recruited to assist the coordinator. The National Committee on Climate Change (CNCC) will provide a framework for consultation and guidance as it has a much broader, economy-wide outlook. It is composed of representatives of relevant government ministries, departments and agencies, and non-state actors such as stakeholders from the private sector, civil society and research institutions. D.3 Procurement plan UNDP procurement processes will be used throughout the implementation of this project. UNDP (Togo), in collaboration with the NDA, will competitively procure services consistent with its procurement policies: Consultants will be procured on a competitive basis and the terms of reference of consultants will be developed further to include the tasks outlined in the request summary above. The NDA may also add other tasks to the ToRs of the consultants in accordance with the Fund s defined scope of work on NDA strengthening within the resource envelope in this proposal and any supplementary resources secured from other sources. For items such as venues and travel for stakeholder workshops to be organized, a shopping method will be used to procure such services consistent with UNDP s procurement policies. Information on the process and the results of procurement to undertaken will be included in the inception report where such information can be provided in advance, and in any case, in interim progress or completion reports when such procurement has been undertaken and completed. SECTION E: COUNTRY OWNERSHIP & STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT E.1 Alignment with national plans and strategies Togo developed its National Communications with GEF funding, in a bid to deliver on its commitments under the UNFCCC, the implementation of which allowed gradual establishment of an institutional framework for managing climate change issues. The Ministry of Environment and Forest Resources (MERF) provides oversight of such framework, the main components of which being the Inter-ministerial Commission for the Environment and the National Committee on Climate Change (CNCC). Despite being among the first African countries to adopt environmental legislation, Togo does not yet have an adequate legal framework for climate change. It ratified the UNFCCC and its Kyoto Protocol but does not yet have an implementing legislation that is integrated into the national corpus juris. This said, the Framework Law on environment enacted in May 2008 takes into account climate change issues. This readiness process will strengthen the provisions provided for in the legal framework on climate change. From a development standpoint, the strategy for accelerated growth and employment promotion (SCAPE in French acronym) is Togo medium-to-long term development framework and also provides strategic guidance on climate change and disaster management issues. Adaptation and mitigation projects that will be developed within the GCF readiness process will therefore have to be consistent with the implementation of the SCARPE. The National Investment Programme for the Environment and Natural Resources (PNIERN in French acronym) is Togo s strategic investment framework in the environmental sector. The PNIERN enables a sector-wide alignment and harmonisation of interventions of partners and stakeholders and contributes thus to the sustainable management of the environment and natural resources. The promotion of adaptation and mitigation actions and the mobilisation of resources for their implementation feature prominently among the strategic courses of actions of the PNIERN. The readiness process will therefore give a further boost to the implementation of PNIERN. With regard to UNFCCC responses, Togo completed its first and second National Communication (SNC) as well as the implementation of National Strategy of the UNFCCC. The 3 rd National Communication is being finalised. Climate-related documents (policy, strategy, etc) were also developed, including: The Capacity building for improving the quality of greenhouse gas inventories in West and Central Africa"; The NAPA - National Action Plan for Adaptation to Climate Change The National Capacity Self Assessment to better manage the Global and National Environment ;

8 The National capacity building strategy for the management of the Environment ; The assessment of investment flows and financial flows for mitigation in the energy sector and adaptation in the agricultural sector in Togo" The "Communication strategy on climate change and the transition to a green economy in Togo" The CDM project note idea portfolios It is envisaged that the readiness process will build on the above and help Togo deal with the various weaknesses and identified gaps with regard to climate action. In particular, the limited involvement of key stakeholders constitutes one of Togo s major hurdles for advancing the climate agenda in the country. This may partly be due to either the lack of awareness of their roles in the process or the usefulness of the information at their disposal. Such situation stems from the inadequacy of the institutional and legal frameworks on the one hand and limited capacity in terms of financial, and technical (including communication) resources, on the other hand. We envisage conducting robust awareness campaigns in order to get greater commitment from stakeholders. E.2 Stakeholder engagement (e.g. civil society, sub-national and national government, private sector, intended beneficiaries) As indicated under D2, the readiness programme will be managed by the MERF, through the NDA with support from the executing entity (UNDP) and guided by a GCF Steering Committee comprising of representatives from key relevant national government agencies and non-state actors. Other sectoral ministries, such as the Ministries in charge of Industry, Economy and Finance, Mines, Energy, Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, Transport, public Works, Higher Education, Research, Development, Planning etc., will play an important role in the implementation of this process. The various ministries will play an important role in identifying transformational investment opportunities within their respective sectors. MERF through the NDA will organise information sharing and awareness events and build capacity with regard to climate-related project identification, appraisal and preparation in key economic sectors. The sectoral ministries will take part in these training workshops. Other relevant stakeholders will also participate in trainings, viz: Academic and research institutions given their role in science, technology and innovation. Examples include the University of Lomé, the University of Kara, the Institute of Advisory & Technical Support (ICAT) and the Togolese Institute of Agricultural Research (ITRA). civil society and the private sector stakeholders e.g. the union of non-governmental organisations in Togo (UONGTO), the Federation of NGOs of Togo (FONGTO) the Consortium of environmental NGOs in Togo (COMET), the chambers as the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Togo, chambers of agriculture and others. These organizations can provide important information for the government regarding options and mitigation measures in project formulation. The National Committee on Climate Change will be an important consultation framework for the process. All other departments and agencies on national development, including the MDGs cell, Local authority, the Permanent Secretariat of the SCAPE will also play an important role. The involvement of all these actors will contribute to increasing ownership of Togo s readiness process and the strengthening of institutional and technical capacity of a wide range of stakeholders. The project will also aim to develop synergies (and avoid duplication) with other relevant on-going projects in the country to enable an efficient exchange of information between projects and full use of their results. These include: (1) the REDD + project preparation, (2) NAMAs, (3) the third national communication, (4) the biennial report, (5) adaptation of farmland to climate change, (6) the development of 1,000 hectares of lowlands in the 5 economic regions of Togo, (7) the NAP process, the

9 integrated land and disaster management project (PGICT) etc. The priorities identified during these projects will be used in the formulation and readiness to supply the project portfolio. This readiness project will integrate a gender perspective in the identification of transformational investment opportunities. SECTION F: MONITORING & REPORTING PLAN The reports to be submitted will be as per what is included in section D.1, and will include reporting against the logical framework included in section B.1. SECTION G: RISK & MITIGATION MEASURES Description or risk Risk level Mitigation measures 1. Weak stakeholder engagement Low Togo has started integrating climate change issues into national policy. The project team will ensure key government stakeholders are involved throughout the process. 2 Lack of interest from private sector stakeholders Medium Sensitisation activities on climate finance opportunities for the private sector will be undertaken. SECTION H: KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AND COMMUNICATION PLAN The experiences gained, lessons learned and good practices will be systematically compiled and shared between different stakeholders at national level. These knowledge products will also be made available to other countries and stakeholders through window on the MERF website that will be created.

10 PAGE 1 OF 44 (Please submit completed form to countries@gcfund.org) Summary Country TOGO Date of Submission 13/06/2016 NDA or Focal Point contact details Name: AGRIGNAN Esso Sam Abdou Rassidou Position: Economist, National Focal Point for Green climate Fund ragrignan80@yahoo.fr Tel: ( 00228) / / Togo is seeking the support of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) for the preparation of its readiness program through two components: i) capacity building of the National Designated Authority (NDA) and Focal Point for effective engagement with the Fund, and ii) development of a country strategic programme to facilitate the engagement with the Fund and the financing of upcoming cimate smart projects. Summary of proposed activities and timeline (please also include overall objective of the grant, requested grant amount and expected timeline for implementation) (maximum 350 words) This support will enhance national ownership regarding access to Fund s financing through not only developing technical capabilities of the NDA, but also strengthening the commitment of the actors in the public and private sectors, as well as of civil society organisations and various stakeholders on the priorities of the Fund through promoting a gender approach (readiness Area 1). This readiness programm aims, through consultations and involvement of all stakeholders, to undertake an analytical review of existing policy documents such as the National Adaptation Programme to Climate Change (NAPA), the national measures appropriate for mitigation (NAMA), the national adaptation plan (NAP), Vision 2030, the Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Employment Promotion (SCAPE). The planned analysis and public consultations will lead to a country strategic programme for the engagement with the Fund, and facilitate the identification of a portfolio of projects to submit to the Fund (readiness Area 2). The implementation of these two components will be facilitated by national consultants recruited for a period of 100 days distributed over ten (10) months, and international consultants recruited for a period of 40 days distributed over eight (08) months. The total amount of the grant for the planned activities is USD 300,000. The project will be conducted over a two year period between July 2016 and June 2018.

11 PAGE 2 OF 44 A. PROJET BACKGROUND & CONTEXT A.1 Assessment of strengths and needs of the NDA The Togolese Government, in ratifying the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), is committed to make the changes necessary in the medium and long terms to mitigate emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) and adapt to climate change. All studies conducted to date have shown the vulnerability of Togo to climate change especially in the sectors of Energy, Water Resources, Agriculture, Health, and on the Coastal Zones. Adaptation measures have been recommended in these areas, but the feasibility and viability of the proposed measures will require the mobilization of adequate financing, the strengthening of technological and human capabilities, and the implementation of education programs. The same studies also revealed the GHG mitigation potential in three priority areas: Energy, Agriculture, as well as Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry. Realizing this potential for GHG mitigation implies strengthening the technical, financial and institutional capacities of all stakeholders. The technical, financial and institutional weaknesses observed to date have limited the access to climate funds, except funding for enabling activities. The National Environment Fund created in 2010 with the aim to channel climate funds both at national and international levels struggles to become operational because of these weaknesses. Enabling activities under the UNFCCC (national communications, NAPAs, Self Assessment of Capacity Building needs for the Management of the Environment at Global and National Levels...) benefited from the support of multilateral implementing entities, including UNDP. Enabling activities aimed in particular at strengthening the institutional and operational capacities of key stakeholders. However, Togo still lacks technical, financial and institutional capacities required for direct access to international climate finance. Under the Adaptation Fund, Togo has identified in 2009 a regional implementing entity, the West African Development Bank (BOAD). More than six years later, no project has yet been accepted by the Adaptation Fund. This is partly due to insufficient capacity for generating bankable mitigation and adaptation projects. As part of the operationalization of the Green Climate Fund in Togo and to enable the country to benefit from this Fund, the Directorate of Environment within the Ministry of Environment and Forest Resources (MERF) was designated as the National Designated Authority (NDA) to interface between Togo and the Fund. The Directorate of Environment is responsible for the definition and implementation of strategies, programmes and plans dealing with environmental protection and management; it also has the mandate to propose national policy elements in the field of environmental protection and to ensure effective enforcement. In this context, initiatives such as consultation workshops were organized in collaboration with civil society oragnizations in order to inform and raise awareness on the Green Climate Fund.

12 PAGE 3 OF 44 In addition, discussions with some members of the GCF secretariat were initiated at COP 20 to expedite the engagement of Togo with the Fund. The Directorate of Environment, which is the NDA, has more than 50 staff. It comprises 15 officers dedicated exclusively to climate change and endowed with qualifications ranging from economy and environment to geography, rural development economics, environmental law, sociology and agronomy. The Directorate of Environment is the institution in charge of the implementation of the UNFCCC Convention ; it has managed GEF funds in the past, related to the implementation of enabling activities including NAPA, national communications, the NAP, etc. However, the limited command of climate finance justifies the low level of mobilization of resources dedicated to the fight against climate change. A.2 List of national climate change policies and initiatives The Government of Togo has developed several strategies, plans and programs related to climate change. The national strategic orientations are defined in the "Vision Togo 2030", under preparation, and in the "Strategy for Accelerated Growth and Employment Promotion" (SCAPE). The preparation of the document "Vision Togo 2030" has involved not only institutional partners, but also the civil society organizations active in the field of environmental protection and the fight against climate change. The SCAPE provides a medium term development framework to achieve the General Policy Statement of the Government; it reflects the vision of the national authorities to make Togo an emerging country by 15 to 20 years, respecting human rights and the environment. Main strategies, plans, policies and programs focusing on climate change are as follows: - Togo has ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1995 and the Kyoto Protocol in Its Initial National Communication was submitted in December The Second National Communication was submitted in September 2011, and the third national Communication was submitted in December 2015 during the COP In 2005, Togo has prepared its National Strategy for the implementation of the UNFCCC which was updated in The national implementation of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol resulted in the creation of a National Committee on Climate change, awareness campaigns, training workshops and a series of actions on the ground covering inter alia reforestation and the adoption of new measures relating inter alia to energy saving and improved control procedures of technical visits of cars. - Togo has developed its NAPA, which was submitted to the UNFCCC in The priority areas, which are also the most vulnerable areas to climate change impacts, are: agriculture, water resources management, coastal zones, housing, and health. The implementation of the priorities contained herein allowed the development of three projects financed through GED LDFC funds. - Togo has launched the preparation process of its NAMA through the establishment of a

13 PAGE 4 OF 44 coordination team. This process will build on the mitigation studies conducted during the preparation of the National Communications and sectoral strategies., With the support from GIZ, Togo has began preparing its National Adaptation Plan (NAP), which should be delivered by The REDD + readiness process was also launched in September 2015 with the financial support of GIZ; it is expected to have a R PP available by Finally, Togo has benefited from the support of French cooperation for the development of its Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC). This document was submitted in late September 2015 to the UNFCCC. The approach adopted by Togo consists of implementing a portfolio of measures and projects in response to adaptation issues and national development priorities, keeping in mind that adaptation options which have potential impact on GHG emissions mitigation will be given priority, whenever possible. The analysis of collected data has allowed identify priorities, actions and funding requirements. The priority sectors are in order: fist: Energy; 2nd: Agriculture; 3rd: Human settlements and health; 4th: Water resources; 5th: Coastal erosion; and 6th: Land use, land use changes and forestry. The conditional target in terms of further reduction of GHG emissions based on the ambitious scenario is estimated at 20% compared to the "business as usual" scenario. The conditional target of total reduction would be 31.14% in 2030 in relation to SAM projections. The total financing requirement is estimated at approximately USD 3.54 billion for the period At the sector level, it should also be noted: - The national investment program for the environment and natural resources (PNIERN) that was set in It is the national framework for the management of the environment and natural resources. Togo's Forest Policy and the National Forestry Action Plan were developed for the period In the energy sector, a national action plan for renewable energy and energy efficiency was approved in August The national development policy in the agricultural sector was validated in November 2012, and aims to provide Togo with a framing instrument for strategic actions to to be undertaken in the agricultural sector for the next ten years ( ). Moreover, Togo was able to access some climate finance through international and multilateral institutions for implementing climate smart projects. The development of a GCF country programme will rely on the above mentioned documents, but also on the lessons learned from major ongoing initiatives in the field of climate change, including: - The "Adaptation of agricultural production in Togo" project running for $ 5.3 million with IFAD technical support on LDCF funds; - The "Integrated Management of Land and Disasters in Togo Project ", with a budget of $ 16 million, with financial support from GEF / LDCF, the TerrAfrica platform, and technical support from the World bank (GFDRR funds);

14 PAGE 5 OF 44 - And the "Strengthening the role of conservation of the national system of protected areas in Togo" Project which enjoys financial support from UNDP, UEMOA, the GEF, and the Government of Togo. Based on these results and existing documents, the work will focus on collecting relevant information, reviewing plans and strategies at the national level, in order to prioritize investment opportunities which have a transformational dimension. It will also be about addressing the planning gaps and collecting required additional data in order to fill them. This process will allow having a relevant country strategic programme with a portfolio of projects eligible for financial support by the GCF. A.3 Key stakeholders to be involved & Proposed process for multi-stakeholder engagement Under the leadership of the Ministry of Environment and Forest Resources (MERF), the implementation of the UNFCCC allowed the gradual establishment of an institutional framework for managing climate change (CC), through which collaborate MERF, other public technical institutions, private actors and civil society organisations. The main components of this framework are the National Commission for Sustainable Development (being revitalized), and the National Committee on Climate Change. All other ministries and national agencies involved in national development, including the Permanent Secretariat of the SCAPE, will also play an important role in this collaboration framework. The integration of all these actors will effectively enhance country ownership of the "readiness" process and the consolidation of the institutional and technical capacity of a wide range of stakeholders on climate finance. These stakeholders include ministries active in priority sectors focusing on adaptation and mitigation (see previous section). GCF readiness activities will be coordinated by the MERF through the NDA, and supported by a "GCF steering committee" which will be a consultative framework for readiness activities, both for component 1 and component 2 of the program. The GCF steering committee will consist of key players involved in the development and implementation of climate change policies and projects, including: The public sector: sectoral ministries concerned such as the Ministries of Industry, Economy and Finance, Mining, Energy, Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, Transport, Public works, Higher Education, Research, Development, Planning, etc. These ministries will play a big role in the development of projects for submission to the Green Climate Fund, and for the preparation of the country strategic programme, including the portfolio of projects. The economic unit of the Office of the President, as an integral part of the public sector stakeholders, will also be consulted for the readiness activities. The private sector: It comprises employers, the union of large companies, the Administration Corporation of Free Trade Zones, the Chamber of Industry and Commerce, the Energy and Electricity Company of Togo, the Transport Company of Lomé, the SMEs and SMIs Investment Guarantee Agency. These companies and agencies representing the Togolese private sector and

15 PAGE 6 OF 44 projects sponsors represent a real asset in the national GCF consultation process. Research centers and universities: the University of Lomé, the "Institute of Advisory & Technical Support" (ICAT) and the "Togolese Institute of Agricultural Research" (ITRA) will also participate in training activities, given their role in science, technology and innovation. Civil society and local actors: the NGO Friends of the Earth, Togo NGO Union, NGO Consortium on the Environment, African Network for the Protection of the Environment, International Centre of African Women for Development, Association for the Protection of the Environment and social Welfare, Association for the Promotion of Childhood and the Environment, the Union of municipalities of Togo, local authorities, etc. These organizations can play an important role in the definition and implementation of activities to be financed by the GCF. Technical and financial partners: West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA) and the West African Development Bank (BOAD) which is accredited by the GEF and the Adaptation Fund have committed to accompany the eight member states of the Union, including Togo, in conducting feasibility studies for projects to be submitted to the GCF. These entities are also seeking accreditation by the GCF. The African Development Bank (ADB) accompanies Togo in protecting its coastline from the adverse effects of climate change. The United Nations System agencies are involved in the fight against climate change in Togo, including the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the World Bank. The European Union and the German Cooperation Agency (GIZ) support Togo in developing its National Adaptation Plan, and are committed to strengthen the NDA through "readiness" process. To promote ownership and national commitment of all relevant actors towards the Green Climate Fund, a stakeholders consultation process will be conducted both through existing cooperation frameworks and conducting specific consultation activities: - At national level, the National Climate Change Committee serves as a consultation, steering and information sharing framework for this kind of process. However, the practice in Togo is to set up a dedicated committee for all strategic development process. Thus, stakeholder engagement will be strengthened through the GCF steering committee, created by a ministerial decree. The meetings will be co chaired by the General Secretariat of MERF and a member of the GCF Steering Committee. - The coordination team will also use existing forums such as workshops and exchange platforms, which the DNA is part of, in order to consolidate and strengthen the involvement of stakeholders. The NAP process, the Technology Needs Assessment project and other processes, in which the NDA is involved in the steering committees, will represent opportunities to enhance information on the GCF, its funding opportunities and its operating procedures. - At decentralized level, the consultation frameworks of Territorial Integration Plans in place under the "National Decentralised Action for Environmental Management Project" serve as relays for information sharing, as well as the National Climate Change Committee.

16 PAGE 7 OF 44 Under Component 1, the process planned for information sharing and stakeholders consultation in order to build the capacity of the national designated authority to fully carry out its duties includes the following activities: - Developing a strategic planning process in cooperation with the public sector agencies and other stakeholders, and providing information on the GCF, its functioning and funding opportunities through appropriate information channels all along the process; - Providing the NDA with capability to identify and assess the priority projects and programs and to carry out its no objection task; - Developing and implementing a communication plan in direction of stakeholders through workshops, mass media, websites, TV and radio; - Conduct meetings of the GCF steering committee to inform on the results of the Readiness process (capacity building and strategy) and to ensure continuity of activities required beyond the GCF funded readiness program; - Further develop public private partnership in order to better involve the private sector in activities related to the GCF. This partnership will be strengthened through the leadership of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry Resources, led by the Ministry of Economy and Finances; it will be conducted through consultations between the MERF, private sector representatives and the Ministry of Economy. The various sectoral ministries and the private sector representatives will also play a big role in the development of projects for submission to GCF. It should be noted that the State has a majority stake in the capital of most of big companies with a significant mitigation potential. For the preparation of the GCF country strategic programme, the process of stakeholders consultations will build on existing structures, in addition to a set of specific consultations. Three levels of participation / consultation are planned: i) the technical leadership of the NDA and the MERF daily; ii) consultation of the most active actors in the field of climate change, including through the National Climate Change Committee, and the GCF Steering Committee; iii) an extended circle of stakeholders involved in activities focusing onthe fight against climate change in Togo. The GCF country strategic programme will be prepared under the leadership of MERF whose mandate is to coordinate the development and implementation of government s environmental, forest resources and climate change policy. The Director of the Environment, as the NDA, will lead the task of preparing the country strategic programme, but other entities within MERF will be involved in technical discussions, including: the Office of Forests Development and Exploitation, the national agency for environmental management, the Directorate of forest resources and the Directorate of studies and planning. The main stakeholders involved in the preparation of the GCF country strategic programme will be mobilized through the National Climate Change Committee and the GCF steering committee. The National Climate Change Committee will be informed / consulted at each of stage the country strategic programme preparation. It consists of representatives of ministries, public and research

17 PAGE 8 OF 44 institutions, civil society members and the private sector representatives. The GCF Steering Committee will be strongly involved in both the preparation and the implementation of the country strategic programme. Its members will be asked to provide technical recommendations and advice needed to conduct the project and to facilitate access to the collection of scientific and technical information. Similarly, the committee members will work to disseminate the project results in their respective departments and institutions to strengthen ownership and to ensure a future effective implementation of the GCF country strategic programme. The consultations for the preparation of the GCF country strategic programme will be done through two national workshops (one to launch the process and one to validate the country strategic programme) as well as various meetings of the two aforementioned committees. Women and young people will be actively involved, including in the identification and preparation of projects for submission to the Fund. It should be recalled that the preparation of the existing national strategies was made taking into account the gender dimension, through regional consultative processes, using focus groups. So there is a real culture of women and youth participation and the new process will build on it. B. DETAILED PROJECT ACTIVITIES B.1 Detailed plan for strengthening the NDA Togo has requested technical and financial support from the GCF in order to enhance the capabilities of the Directorate of Environment (as NDA) to engage with the Fund, plan stakeholders coordination and design its strategy of interaction with the Fund. To this end, the following activities will be conducted during the project: Strengthening capacity of the NDA: The activities will enable the Directorate of Environment to effectively fulfill its role as NDA, including: improve his own knowledge of the Green Climate Fund and the one of other stakeholders in order to promote opportunities for generation of projects; clarify to stakeholders their respective role in engaging with the Fund; carry out the activities of the GCF steering committee and strengthen its awareness of the opportunities of the GCF for Togo. The NDA, with its enhanced capabilities, will be able to ensure effective engagement of all stakeholders in the process of definition of the country strategic programme. He will lead the process of multi stakeholder consultations and define and operationalize a sound process of noobjection for the submission of projects to the Fund. The consultation / dialogue activities mentioned in the previous section will be conducted by the NDA with the support of consultants. The consultants (international and national) 1 will be recruited in order to provide technical assistance and practical advice to the NDA on the strategic priority areas for stakeholder engagement with the Fund.
