In Togo, the Aného Islands are set to benefit from a project aimed at their preservation, which includes enhancing surveillance and safeguarding ecosystems.
This initiative, which is part of a sustainable natural resource management strategy, was introduced this week by the Aquéréburu and Partners Foundation (FAP) in partnership with the FAO.
Funded by Phase II of the Forest and Farmers Mechanism (FFF), the program specifically targets a 30% increase in forest cultivation and a 60% rise in income for participating women, utilizing a focus on agroforestry and organic farming practices.

Key components of the project include the reforestation of mangroves, training in aquaculture, and the creation of an agroforestry field school. Additionally, the initiative aims to implement participatory monitoring to promote the responsible management of natural resources.
The launch also featured training sessions on natural resource management, which encompassed the FAO’s FFF approach, agricultural development, ecosystem conservation, and the regulation of protected areas.
