Everyone would be eating their fill after 2013



The passing story in the presentation of the head of government. The Prime Minister presented on Wednesday in New York, the report of integration into Sustainable Development Objectives (SDGs) in the National Development Policy of Togo. From the presentation by Komi Klassou, it is clear that since 2013, Togo has achieved the goal of zero hunger.



For Togo, hunger is no longer a threat. Goal 2 of the SDOs would therefore be reached according to Komi Klassou in New York on Wednesday. We just need to consolidate food self-sufficiency. "As far as objective 2 to eradicate hunger is concerned, since 2013 Togo has achieved this goal significantly. To accelerate the development of high-yield agriculture and promote value chains, Togo's new agricultural strategy 2016-2030 is based on the realization of agropoles around cereal and high added value sectors " The declaration of Komi Klassou.


What FAO says

The UN Food and Agriculture Organization said in a report in 2015 that only 800,000 Togolese were suffering from undernourishment. He added that the situation was clearly favorable in the world, as of the world's 1 billion people hungry in the world in the 1990s, only 795 million remained undernourished.

The contrast

Last weekend, a former prime minister described a scene on a radio in the square to which he was a witness. While he was visiting a friend, they were given an unexpected visit from the neighbor's wife who came to ask for subsidies because, with her children, they were on the third day without putting anything under their tooth. This former statesman added that "the misery is ambient in the country". A statement confirmed by Faure Gnassingbe, when he recognized in a speech that only a minority lived well, while the majority of the Togolese were languishing in misery.

Returning to Komi Klassou's presentation, the Prime Minister argued that the National Fund for Inclusive Finance (FNFI) set up in 2014 had a major impact on poverty and life expectancy. "From 2014 to the end of May 2017, 739,331 people received credits totaling CFAF 45 billion, or about US $ 79,242 million. In doing so, the incidence of poverty, which stood at 61.7% in 2006, fell to 55.1% in 2015. Conversely, life expectancy, at 56.6 in 2009 has increased and is 60.1 in 2015, "he argues.

                                                           Ibeji (Twins) In Yoruba land, one of the most important things done when a child is born is to give the child a name. This comes after the child’s ritual birth, massage of specific body parts and other rites as well. Names are given to the child by the father, mother, grandparents (paternal and maternal) and some close relatives also.

Togo now has its plan to combat land degradation

Land degradation is a reality in Togo. According to figures put forward by the Ministry of the Environment, each year 4.14% of the land (nationally) succumb to the phenomenon. And it is in response to the problem that the Government launched last March, the Program of definition of the national targets on neutrality in land degradation (PDC / NDT). On Thursday in Lomé, environmental experts validated a document that will serve as a blueprint for sustainable land management in Togo. This document, which estimates that 23,500 hectares of land are degraded each year in Togo between 2000 and 2010, has already identified national targets assessed on the basis of indicators such as land use, net productivity or carbon. According to the Secretary General of the Ministry of Environment and Forest Resources, Sama Boundjouw, these targets and their measures to be validated will become guidelines for any actor involved in the fight against land degradation in Togo during the next twelve...
