Summary
In 2021 and upon the request of the Government, WFP's Executive Director approved the opening of a fully-fledged WFP representation in Togo, strengthening collaboration with the Government. In 2021, WFP continued to supporting the Government by providing food and nutrition assistance to flood-affected populations while strengthening the capacity of national partners on emergency preparedness and response and increasing the resilience and role of smallholder farmers in sustainable and inclusive food value chain in relation to the home-grown school feeding model, based on local food purchase. In June 2020, thanks to the support of WFP, the Togolese National Assembly passed a school feeding bill with focus on the home-grown school feeding model. In June 2021, the Prime Minister anounced the Government's plan to increase the school feeding coverage from 6 percent to 17 percent by the end of 2025 and requested WFP’s assistance for the development and promotion of an integrated school feeding model based on local food production. In 2021, WFP, in collaboration with the National Agency for Grassroot Development established school gardens in 50 pilot primary schools to promote local production and provision of fresh vegetables and nutritious products to the canteens on dailly basis.
