It is bordered to the south by the Atlantic Ocean. It is limited by Burkina Faso to the North, Ghana to the West, and Benin to the East. Some 40% of its land is agricultural but only 6.5% is really cultivated. Togo has an intertropical climate wet and hot. Owing to its spread in latitude it has two climatic regimes: to the south the climate is equatorial with two rainy seasons (the major rainy season is from March /April to July and the minor season is from September to November) and 2 dry seasons (the major dry season is from the end of November to March and the minor dry season and from August to September). Annual rainfall is on average 800 to 1,000 mm. In the North in the Sahel area where the project is located, the climate is tropical with a single rainy season (from May to October) and a single dry season (from November to April). In this region problems of access to water are more frequent. From the economic point of view, Togo is not very industrialised and the population gains its living mainly from agriculture, It benefits from fairly varied Agro ecological conditions which enables a variety of crops to be grown both subsistence crops and income crops. It is strongly oriented towards vegetable crops (64% of sectoral GIP l) : manioc, igname, maize, vegetables meal sorgho as well as palm oil.. Cattle breeding comes second (15%), followed by income crops (10%).. The main export crops (Coton, coffee, and cocoa) represent 27% of export income for the state. Togo globally provides its own food with the exception of rice and wheat which it is obliged to import. From the political point of view, the Republic of Togo was governed from 1967 until his death at the start of 2005 by General Eyadema, who installed a single party until the 1990s and who maintained an authoritarian regime under the cover of an apparently pluralistic constitution. His son Faure Gnassingbé, originally self designated, was elected President in April 2005 under highly disputed conditions;. These events generated incidents which were suppressed in a bloody fashion. In August 2005, the political parties and representatives of civilian society signed a « global political agreement « which aimed to put an end to the violence which had been tearing the country apart for more than 10 years. More recently, the re-election of Faure Gnassingbé in March 2010 at the end of an electoral process marked by irregularities continues to be strongly contested by the opposition. From a demographic point of view, in 2009, the total population of Togo was estimated by the World Bank at 6.6 million inhabitants 34% of which live in urban areas and 66% of which in rural areas. The capital is Lomé (796.416 inhabitants), and the main towns Sokodé (123 029 inhabitants), Kara (109 287 inhabitants), Kpalimé (101 088 inhabitants), Atakpamé (84 979 inhabitants), estimations made in 2006. Th annual rate of population growth is 2.4% and the density of population is 80 to 100 inhabitants per square kilometre. From the point of view of primary education, the net percentage of children in full-time education (87% in 2008) is one of the best in the West African sub region. The main indicators of human development identified by the PNUD en 2010 are as follows: - literacy rate of adults : 53,2 % in 2010 - life expectancy : 63 years - Gross percentage of children in full-time education combined for primary and secondary and higher education : 62 % - GIP real adjusted per inhabitant : 1410 $ With respect to these indicators, the human development index places Togo 139th out of 169 countries (i.e. an HDI of 0,428) that is to say among the countries with low human development. Concerning access to drinking water; according to EU data that is to say non-updated 2009 official figures, 61 % of Togolese do not have access to drinking water, 70% of the population living in rural areas don't have access whereas in urban areas the access rate is 39%. Moreover 69% of Togolese not have access to latrines: in rural areas this figure is 90% 5 1.2 The region of Kara Togo is divided into five economic regions: Maritime to the south, the Plateaux centre, Kara and Savanes. The project intervention area is located in the North in the economic region of Kara which is Soudan Sahel by nature with a single rainy season from June to November. The population of this region is approximately 650,000 persons composed of several ethnic groups and different religious faiths (Christians, Muslims, animists). This region is the cradle of the dominant ethnic group the Kabyés, which is that of the previous and current head of state. This procures it certain advantages. The group is known as « the rock farmers » as they're capable of practising agriculture in rocky terrain. Cotton which was largely cultivated in the region is now abandoned. The farmers were paid for their production two years in arrears and the raw materials reached exorbitant prices. Although the SOTOCO (Togolese Coton Company) is now moribund, the farmers in the region continue nevertheless to use cattle for ploughing which was introduced by the state company 20 years ago. In the place of cotton they grow groundnuts, and sesame and anacardier Market gardening is very widespread around Kara, including for sale in Lomé. The area of Bassar traditionally cultivates yams. In spite of the general poverty and the vulnerability of part of the population and as elsewhere across the country, many villages have organised a « local initiative » school or college These establishments are often installed in precarious buildings in which teachers, paid for by the families
