International Tropical Timber Organization Itto INTERNATIONAL TROPICAL TIMBER ORGANIZATION ITTO PROJECT PROPOSAL TITLE ENHANCEMENT OF THE PARTICIPATORY BUSHFIRE PREVENTION AND MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN TOGO SERIAL NUMBER PD 888/18 Rev.1 (F) COMMITTEE REFORESTATION AND FOREST MANAGEMENT SUBMITTED BY GOVERNMENT OF TOGO ORIGINAL LANGUAGE FRENCH SUMMARY This project is the result of the study titled “Identification of a Project to Implement Priority Actions of the National Strategy for Managing Bushfires”, which was conducted between August 2010 and January 2011 with the financial support of ITTO. The project’s aim is to reinforce the traditional system that can help prevent and control bushfires in the most vulnerable government-owned forests and reforested areas of Togo with the participation of local communities, using both material and human resources. The project will conduct, among other activities, an advocacy campaign on the harmful effects of bushfires and on current regulations, targeting 66 schools and the population of the 120 local communities located near the 22 most vulnerable forest areas across the 15 Departments of the country. Additionally, it will promote small-game husbandry through the training of 100 extension workers as well as sustainable cultivation practices through the training of 200 community leaders. The project will also establish a fire-control system and contribute to the protection of 10,000 ha of plantations and natural forests (of which 7,000 ha of government-owned and 3,000 ha of private forests) after the training of brigades in 15 of the 22 gazetted forests and reforestation areas selected for project implementation. This project proposal was approved by ITTO during the 48th Session of the International Tropical Timber Council (Decision 1) in 2012 under ID number PD 609/11 Rev.3 (F). The project was thereafter lapsed due to the absence of funding. The project proposal was updated by Togo for new submission.

  • Togo: Legislative Elections of July 20131 Radim Tobolka, Univerzita
    Togo: Legislative Elections of July 20131 Radim Tobolka, Univerzita Hradec Králové [email protected] Final draft, 22 April 2014 Since the previous presidential election of 2010, Togolese politics have seen important changes. The legislative elections which took place on July 25, 2013 accelerated this process of change. No violence, or large-scale fraud, was reported either during the vote or the subsequent compilation of results. The elections confirmed the demise of Gilchrist Olympio’s Union des forces de changement (UFC), which was considered the most radical opposition party until its power-sharing deal with President Faure Gnassingbé’s Rassemblement du peuple togolais (RPT) in 2010. Meanwhile, the incumbent Gnassingbé clique remained firmly in power due to the effective performance of their electoral party machine: the newly formed Union pour la République (UNIR). This party secured more than two-thirds (68%, n=62) of the seats in parliament. UNIR’s closest rival was Jean Pierre Fabre’s Alliance nationale pour le changement (ANC) which won 16 seats: a fact that highlights the current Togolese government’s large parliamentary majority. Background Togolese politics under President Faure Gnassingbé continues to follow the same pattern established under the dictatorial regime of his father Eyadéma Gnassingbé (1967-2005). The backbone of Togo’s political establishment is the military where at least two-thirds (65%) of the army are Kabyè, which is the ethnic group of the Gnassingbé family (Toulabor 1999:106–107). France has provided military advisors and logistical support to the Togolese armed forces since the 1963 coup d’état in which Eyadéma Gnassingbé took an active part.

  • Understanding Farmers' Perceptions of and Adaptations to Climate Change and Variability
    Agricultural Sciences, 2015, 6, 1441-1454 Published Online December 2015 in SciRes. http://www.scirp.org/journal/as http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/as.2015.612140 Understanding Farmers’ Perceptions of and Adaptations to Climate Change and Variability: The Case of the Maritime, Plateau and Savannah Regions of Togo Agossou Gadédjisso-Tossou West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL), Université de Lomé, Lomé, Togo Received 9 November 2015; accepted 18 December 2015; published 23 December 2015 Copyright © 2015 by author and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Togolese agriculture is predominantly rain-fed and hence fundamentally dependent on the vaga- ries of weather. Thus, it is negatively affected by climate change. The present study assesses far- mers’ perceptions and adaptation to climate change to enhance policy towards tackling the chal- lenges climate change poses to the farmers in the study area. Descriptive statistics and multi- nomial logit (MNL) were used to analyze data obtained from a cross-sectional survey executed during the 2013/2014 agricultural production year in the maritime, plateau and savannah regions of Togo. The analysis of farmers’ perception to climate change reveals high increase in tempera- ture and decrease in rainfall. These results are in line with the trend analysis of climate data that records from 1961 to 2013 about the study area especially on the temperature. Furthermore, the results show that crop diversification, change in crops, find off-farm jobs, change of the amount of land, change of the planting date and plant short season variety are the adaptation methods em- ployed by the farmers.

  • A Study of the Ewe Unification Movement in the United States
    HOME AWAY FROM HOME: A STUDY OF THE EWE UNIFICATION MOVEMENT IN THE UNITED STATES BY DJIFA KOTHOR THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in African Studies in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Master’s Committee: Professor Faranak Miraftab, Chair Professor Kathryn Oberdeck Professor Alfred Kagan ABSTRACT This master’s thesis attempts to identity the reasons and causes for strong Ewe identity among those in the contemporary African Diaspora in the United States. An important debate among African nationalists and academics argues that ethnic belonging is a response to colonialism instigated by Western-educated African elites for their own political gain. Based on my observation of Ewe political discourses of discontent with the Ghana and Togolese governments, and through my exploratory interviews with Ewe immigrants in the United States; I argue that the formation of ethnic belonging and consciousness cannot be reduced to its explanation as a colonial project. Ewe politics whether in the diaspora, Ghana or Togo is due to two factors: the Ewe ethnonational consciousness in the period before independence; and the political marginalization of Ewes in the post-independence period of Ghana and Togo. Moreover, within the United States discrimination and racial prejudice against African Americans contribute to Ewe ethnic consciousness beyond their Togo or Ghana formal national belongings towards the formation of the Ewe associations in the United States. To understand the strong sense of Ewe identity among those living in the United States, I focus on the historical questions of ethnicity, regionalism and politics in Ghana and Togo.
