With the aim of providing a framework for national consultation to promote agroecology, actors involved in climate change resilience met on 29 and 30 November in Lomé.

Initiated by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Rural Development, this meeting was part of the ECOWAS Agroecology Programme (PAE). It benefited from technical and financial support from the French Development Agency (AFD), the European Union (EU) and the West African Development Bank (BOAD) and brought together agricultural actors, civil society, ministerial delegates and technical and financial partners.

The purpose of this meeting was to lay the foundations for a national consultation framework for agroecological development in Togo and to make relevant proposals for a real transition of family farms to agroecological practices. Thus, the work allowed the participants to discuss, among other things, the agroecological transition in intensive production systems and the mobilization of resources around the agroecological transition. They also debated the roles and responsibilities of socio-professional organizations and non-governmental organizations in promoting good agroecological practices as well as on public policy advocacy aimed at the agroecological transition.
