Abstract
The aim of this project is to improve the management of the Togodo-South and Togodo-North Complex and strengthen the national system of protected areas in Togo. This is particularly important due to the poor management of protected areas in the country and lack of effective policies related to the creation and management of protected areas, which would improve the living conditions of the local population and contribute to income generation. As a result, the idea of conservation has been met with resistance from the local communities, while the management of the system of protected areas in Togo remains inadequate. For this reason, it is very important to improve the management of the existing protected areas in the Togodo-South and Togodo-North Complex and create new ones in a manner that involves the local communities and allows them to generate benefits from the protected areas.
Objective
Halt the degradation of Togo’s natural resources; Adopt an innovative approach to the management of the national system of protected areas; Ensure sustainable development; Contribute to poverty reduction
