Food security: Togo prepares to implement the Kampala Declaration on agriculture

A high-level African Union Commission mission is in Lomé through October 22, 2026, to turn the Kampala Declaration’s commitments into national actions under the 2026–2031 CAADP framework. Talks between Togolese officials and AU representatives focus on agricultural productivity, food security, climate resilience and sustainable management of natural resources. The government plans to draw on ProMAT, whose cumulative support from the West African Development Bank reached 60 billion CFA francs after an additional 40 billion was approved in June 2026. Adopted in January 2025, the Kampala Declaration targets a 45% increase in Africa’s agrifood production, a tripling of intra-African agricultural trade and a halving of post-harvest losses by 2035.
